Anyone else doesn't like playing Nurse?

I don't like default Nurse, however, these two add-ons are fun!

Sadly, they are expensive to use, but these make Nurse a different killer and more standart with other ones and it's fun.

    Matchbox is fun especially paired with Jenner, but Spasmodic isn't that fun to use it just feels so limiting and essentially turns you into an m1 killer without an ability. Kind of like Huntress's one addon where she is out of hatchets, but even more limiting, it triggers at the worst times and you only really get value out of it sometimes it's just not fun to use at all.

    If you had more of a way to trigger like some input on when it is used other than just hitting a blink attack maybe it would be useful, but rn I don't see it ever being that fun except for the people who enjoy playing m1 killers without an ability lamo.

    Yea, Nurse is just the type of Killer where you have to sweat or you will preform poorly. I don't enjoy that. Even games where you win and you would consider good games, there were usualy sweat anyway because you just have to focus all the time.

    It does sound very funny !

    I really want to love Nurse, I enjoy going against her, but unfortunately playing her makes me motion sick, what with all the looking down every time you're in fatigue.

    I might try that in custom games with friends though ! Sounds like I wouldn't be blinking too much X)

    Yeah, I think she is quite boring to play. Exciting when you learn her and see that you get better with her, but once you play her somewhat well, it feels just boring and effortless.

    But I also played way too much Nurse, I use to play her to gain BPs, since you can play her without using Add Ons (I dont like to use Add Ons on one Killer to farm BP for another). And I played her quite a lot when I prestiged Knight because I really dont like to play him.

    So might just be too much Nurse for me, but I prefer M1-Killers overall. They also feel more rewarding than Nurse.

    She makes me really motion sick, so yeah, can't really play her

    She got boring really quick and fatigue is disgusting even though I don't get motion sick from it. Just like I don't play Billy because I can't stand his animations either.

    I’ll stick to Artist.

    I've played her two times. I know she's top tier and everything, but that whole watching-the-floor thing is not for me. In contrast Blight just injects more drugs and goes on another rampage, he's more my type.

    I played her a lot over a period of 3-4 months. It got kind of boring because of how many people would immediately give up. I don't know how anyone can main nurse long term tbh.

    I hate playing her. She's boring to play, is a pub stomper, and what's almost even worse than those things is a lot of people dc almost immediately when they load in and hear the screech from your blink. My last game had two DCs after hearing me blink and I just left my computer in frustration

    I mean huntress' one is alright. If you run out of hatchets, plus 5% movement speed; lets her keep a chase up if she cant afford to reload at the moment, and can throw survivors off.

    Matchbox is great, but I feel Spasmodic Breath is a huge hinderance. Losing your power for a full minute is absolutely not worth moving at 4.6. Might as well play a different Killer at that point.

    These add-ons are the only way I'll play Nurse.

    I don't find anything exciting about how easily Nurse stomps pubs. It's not worth slaughtering a thousand lamb, just to find the few lions that'll put up a fight.

    I'd use Matchbox with another addon as it can actually limit the uses you get out of Spasmodic Breath, and Spasmodic has the faster run speed and lets you keep Blinking until you hit someone. The downside is you need to be able to land that initial Blink attack

    But Spasmodic is hella fun and tends to surprise survivors. You blink and hit a survivor, if that survivor has gone against nurses before they'll tend to try to stick to the middle ground giving them an option if you over/under blink at them, or burn a blink for shorter distance now so they can make it up running later. or LOS you. Most aren't prepared for you to just charge them for the second hit, or run them down. I've had players accuse me of hacks in the end game chat because they'd apparently never seen the addon before.

    When I was first learning Nurse to get her achievements/tome entries done, I used Spasmodic and a fatigue recovery addon. Since I missed a lot of Blinks, the fatigue recovery helped so I could try again faster, and if I landed the hit Spasmodic would turn the Nurse into a full-speed M1 which I had played a lot of before. So between the disoriented survivors freaking out over getting ran at by a Nurse and my prior experience with M1 killers, I was able to find a good balance until I got the hang of Nurse.

    Once you get playing Nurse down pretty well, Spasmodic becomes more of a detriment, but it's still fun to meme on from time to time.

    I can only agree in the sense that Survivors often hear the Nurse screech and either give up or tryhard from the onset. The base killer (once you learned the basic muscle memory) is so busted I tried running both meme add-ons and 0 slowdown (auras most often to be fair) and still win far more often than not.

    I love the concept of nurse's power but it gives me a little bit of motion sickness trying to play her, so i avoid touching her.
