Yeah, Awakened Starstruck is only stupid on Nurse...
For reference, this was on Ormond, a pretty big and decent map for them. I think people like to forget that Spirit is in the game.
People say, "Make Nurse's attacks Special cuz of Starstruck!" I always think about this. Spirit can use the same M1 perks she does.
"Then make her attacks Special too!" No. Flat out. No. Her attack is literally just a regular lunge. Even if you did, she could wait for half a second for her attack to revert to a basic attack.
"Spirit has more counterplay!" Unless you have dropped a literal god pallet that you only find on Gideon, no. You drop it, and she can still hit you. I'm not even using her best add-ons, which is the insane part. She gets way stronger than this with better map mobility, pretty much no way to juke her, and can utilize M1 perks/status effects just like a normal killer and Nurse.
What point am I making? I absolutely despise Starstruck and want that perk gutted. It's mediocre or absolutely stupid, and I don't think should exist, period.

With all due respect this is seemingly more of a rant on spirit, so let's break this down.
- Yes spirit has strong add ons that need nerfs
- Spirit has alot more counterplay than nurse due to the fact that you can literally hear her exact position (at least i don't find it hard to pin point her) whereas nurse is just run, break line of sight and hope she isn't amazing at blinks.
- Awakened awareness and starstruck is much much stronger on nurse due to the fact that she teleports through walls with her power, nurse literally breaks the core of dead by daylight. So having her attacks count as special attacks makes alot more sense than it does for spirit. She can't phase through walls or go to the 2nd floor in a second like the nurse can.
- Making spirits normal attacks count as special wouldn't make sense whatsoever, as of right now spirit is in a really good position as she is arguably the 4th best killer without add ons, you can even make the argument she is the 3rd best with certain add ons. It would be a hugely unnecessary nerf to spirit.
- I honestly can't agree with spirit having more map mobility than the nurse when she even has range add ons and she can travel to an entirely different floor in just a second. She can literally catch a survivor after hitting them in seconds, at least the spirit has a cool down on her power whereas nurse with a single blink is alot more lethal.
- So to your main point, starstruck. I think as a perk its fine, im not sure how they would nerf it or if it even needs a nerf. I barley encounter the perk, in my games at least.
Overall I wish to be respectful of your points, but I entityly disagree. It seemed more of a rant towards spirit using starstruck and she is stronger using it than nurse essentially. I think its very untrue, if I'm on midwich and see a survivor above me I can't just phase on their position in an instant, I can't phase through walls in an instant.

You're not wrong. I was a bit tilted writing this.
Something I want to make clear: I wasn't saying her mobility is better than Nurse's. I was trying to say Spirit has better add-ons that improve her mobility compared to what I was currently running. Better mobility than a ranged Nurse? I was tilted, not stupid lol.

Oh we can agree all day about her add ons being dumb, mother daughter ring is ridiculous and a good spirit will won the majority of her matches with it. On that we can definitely agree, sorry if I misunderstood some point you where trying to put across, I understand the tilt can get to us all ^^
