My Take On Nurse
Nurse isn't that bad. There I said it, now lower your pitchforks while I go into reasoning.
To keep this short and sweet, I have no issue with the teleporting killer personally base-kit wise. She's fun to play against and offers engaging gameplay other than "hold w and run in straight line" she's a killer you have to learn to mindgame, and personally, I find that really cool.
Nurse is about making predictions, if you're right, it's rewarding, if you're wrong, you're punished by losing chase with a survivor when losing LOS as well as valuable time.
It's her range add-ons I have an issue with. Those who play Nurse understand how challenging it was to try and learn her due to having to know map layouts and making predictions on the survivors movements. Console Nurses especially get my praise due to the lower optimization on console causing lag spikes randomly just from using her power, and props to them for pushing through.
TL;DR - Nurse isn't terrible to play against, her range add-ons are the issue. Re-visit the Nurse's add-ons and work on those, her basekit is fine

Sure, if they want to gut her add ons, I could care less. Nerfing her base kit JUST because she is the best killer in the game is sussy baka logic.

I agree. Basekit nurse is fine, her range addons gotta go tho.

Of course Nurse basekit is fine for a survivor player. All you have to do is hold W and she can’t even get to you.

if they gut range and recharge (giving them a new purpose or greatly decreasing their numbers) and make her m2 special then sure.

Range addon speed needs to go, range itself is fine but moving faster does seem like a bit much

In essence, about every Nurse player agrees there is an issue with the range add-ons. (For the details about what's wrong, your mileage may vary)

Are you seriously saying Nurse is weak???
5 -
Don’t speak for anyone but yourself.
Basekit nurse is stomped by any decent survivor.
She needs recharge or range to counter hold W. Otherwise you are screwed against any tree / rock blocking your line of sight.
Also by "decent survivor" I don’t mean the average clicky bunny feng or nea chasing the killer and not repairing gens; I mean a good team who know what they are doing and trying to win the game.

Clearly not only myself, and if you care to read, there is the word "about" in that sentence. It means something.

There’s literally no argument you can make to prove Nurse is weak. It’s been proving many times that she’s the strongest.

I still think a rework would be best (assuming Behavior doesn't pull a Freddy) but I'll take an add-on pass over nothing.
2 -
They probably haven't played against or seen the good nurse players, because when Nurse is in the right hands and played properly, even without add-ons she can stomp even a SWAT Swf
Maps also coming into play, great example being Midwich, put a god Nurse on that map with a SWF, the Nurse is winning no questions

I've been saying her add-ons are problematic. She'll be fine if the add-ons get looked into and her second blink is a special hit so expose isn't that strong on her

True, although I'm personally fine with Nurse's current position, if they do rework her, I just don't want her to be nerfed into oblivion to where no one can play her
She's a genuinely fun killer to play against when you know how to counter her ^^

Yeah, I agree with this, the reason why I made this post, been seeing other people posting that she's just overpowered, even though the range add-ons are the only issue
0 -
I agree that she isn't op at all. The comments love to just pitchfork stuff to oblivion atp

I would have no problem discussing the acceleration of the nurse when the tp is less than 20m (when using his range addons).
As for the rest, the nurse is fine the way she is.

Nurse needs to get nerfed.

Thanks for this insightful input with great reasoning.

The reason I think Nurse needs to be reworked is because I don't see a way to nerf her without making her suck.

Who ? SupaAlf ? He said on his last stream that nurse is very addon dependent and can be stomped by good teams. So which god nurse said that basekit is fine against good survivors ?
Do you have any gameplay video of you playing against good teams as nurse BASEKIT ?
Also midwich is a killer sided map. Pig, Hag, Demo will perfom well on this map, it doesn’t mean they should be nerfed.

You need more practice playing against the nurse.

The only nerf for Nurse that i can see acceptable is decreasing travel speed of range addons ( just like when it was bugged ). Removing Range is a bad move imo due to the existence of large maps.

He also won 250+ games in a row with her. Clearly perfectly balanced killer and just need range add ons to be nerfed. Everything else is fine, just have 5000 hours in a game and hope your team does too, when you can hope to win againts her.

No bestie, he is well above 300+ wins right now. You know what is broken ? Matchmaking. He is the equivalent of a gm player matched against golds.
He has 8000h+, and played comp for years. Him winning against randoms Claudette doing chests instead of gens is normal.

He doesn't actually have 250+ games won in a ROW. He lost games that were uploaded in his YT and for some reason he didn't count them as a loss. He only count the games from stream.
Majority of DBD players are casuals, so ofc it is possible for a comp player to have a high winning streak.
Comp player having high winning streak doesn't mean that the killer is unbalanced. Just the comp player is more skilled than the majority of the casual player base.
There is some survivors with over 500 win streak, does that make survivors broken? ofc not.
Also Alf lost in tournaments in an equal ground so there you go.

You need more practice with normal killers, nurse main.

There is no connection (or else develop), but ... ok, if you want ...
