What are your thoughts on the Nurse, and why?

Her power needs a rework
She needs a rework because her power is too strong.
She's an outdated killer. She was balanced around a game that had infinite on almost every map, pallet vacuuming, two pallets on one loop, no bloodlust, ds that lasted the whole game once you were Obsession, the list goes on and on and on.
Yes she's been nerfed since, but she still remains the killer who is undeniably the best killer out of the current roster.
I don't know how she'd be reworked...although I'd like something that messes with gravity similar to what we see in her mori (at least I think something like that happens in her mori, I haven't played in a few months).

She is too strong
too overpowered, needs addon nerfs, special attack and perhaps a longer cooldown on power (a faster movement speed can be done as a compensation).

Her power needs a rework
First of all, of course, the blink attack is a special attack.
And the main problem with her is that her ability can pass through walls. This makes it extremely difficult for the survivor to make use of pallets and windows to buy time, unlike other killers.
The aspect of buying time should be of utmost importance.
A successful blink attack will extend the stun time slightly. At the same time, a successful blink attack will increase the recharge time. This increases the chances of the survivor gaining time.
The stun and cooldown time if the survivor does not attack after the blink or if the survivor misses the blink attack will remain the same as they are now. I would like you to test with that first.

The Nurse breaks all the rules of Dead by Daylight by completely invalidating windows, pallets, and any kind of distance-maker. To the Nurse, there is no such thing as distance. "Distance" is simply related to the inaccuracy of her blinks, but there is no such thing as "gaining too much distance" during a chase (especially on multi-floored indoor maps like The Game, RCPD, and Midwich) since walls, elevation, and other obstacles don't block a Nurse at all. Every other killer's power is meant to play around pallets and windows, not completely invalidate them. The best form of counter-play against a Nurse is "hide behind a wall and make her guess where to blink," but this counter-strategy isn't fun or consistent, especially against Nurses who stack four information perks such that every survivor is essentially a walking beacon. Skilled Nurses are simply impossible to escape against. MAYBE you'll get the hatch if you're lucky, but if she finds you, your chances of survival drop to 0.01% regardless of your surroundings. Her power needs to be changed. Desperately.

She needs a whole rework. There is no way you can nerf her power without destroying her, because her power design is the issue. So the best option would be to rework her.

I do enjoy playing nurse a lot. I love her power as i believe it's the last remnants of old DBD where the designers were passionate and just came up with ideas and threw them to the wall. I like her the way she is however that doesn't mean her addons are perfect. They nerfed the ranged addons which i was happy with. More addons may need nerfing.

I think she needs a rework.
That being said, I don't like that against a good SWF, Blight and Her are your only options. I also don't like the idea of changing her, and Blight being the only option should it not go well, which it overwhelmingly likely wont.
Making the other killers better should take priority over the 6% of the killer roster that can compete IMO.

Her power needs a rework
Nurse is the only killer I actively don't play because I can't stand looking at the ground half the match. Wesker's release really emphasizes for me how, even though his ability is strategically weaker than hers but they both essentially lunge forward in straight lines twice in a row, he's a lot more fun to play partly because he keeps his head up after a Bound.
On top of that, she'd also be more new player friendly if they made Plaid Flannel base kit (but also made the Plaid Flannel indicator smaller and less intrusive on the screen, it's kind of distracting sometimes the way it's done).
And finally at the high end her Blink attacks just kind of break the game in some ways. I could probably get behind making her Blink attacks be counted as Special attacks and not basic attacks to rein it in a bit.
So yeah, I'm not a fan, I'd love to see her get a revamp to make her more fun, more new player friendly and also a touch less powerful at the high end.

Give her a top hat

making her Blink a special attack would at least get rid of Starstruck Nurse.

She is too weak
exactly my nerf would be this, normal speed and teleport, but after a down, 35/40 seconds cooldown as a m1 killer, then a normal speed nurse with teleport again

She is too strong
Ex Nurse main here, I stopped playing her because I knew it just wasn't fun for anyone to play against. I would only use Shadowborn and BBQ with no addons or just brown ones and still stomp most lobbies without ever hooking the same person twice in a row or camping a hook. I know it doesn't speak for all nurses (there may be some with honor somewhere), but every--single--nurse I've played against recently after coming back to the game (quit when mmr released) uses bs gen regression, starstruck, or smooth brain "muh power lets me return to hook quickly i'll use this to muh abantage". Simply over powered and not fun to play against, hence DC or suicide on first hook for most.

idk if she got reworked lately, but her second blink doesn't work anymore most of the times, and she cant go through most of the terrain now... It's now horrible to play with

In the right hands she's too powerful. Which means most nurses I face. I find her impossible to play with controller and motion sickness.

Her power needs a rework
BHVR are stuck in a situation where they can't touch her without making her too weak or too strong. IMO a killer who cause other killers perk to be nerfed because of how effective they are on the killer means a rework is needed.

I don't have a problem with her like most people. Sure she can end games quickly and neglates loops but, I think it's nice we have some a strong killer that can shut down loops

She is too strong
Other killers like Trapper, Hag, Artist, Dredge (to an extent) can "shut down loops" fairly decently. Nurse ignores loops altogether, and distance means nothing to her. In a game where distance is the difference between getting hit or reaching the window just in time, that's pretty important.

I think her power is okay, but the things she can bring to complement it is what makes her broken: maps, adddons and perks. Maybe reduce the sinergy she has.

She 100% depends on the person playing her.

59 votes in favor of nerfing nurse and 12 in favor of buffing/keep his power as it is.... GOD I LOVE DEMOCRACY

Most Nurses are really okay. She might need a tweak or two to her addons, but she's only too strong at the top of mmr. Everywhere else she's actually quite fun to face !
