Saying this as a Nurse main... Nurse desperately needs a rework.

Let me reiterate that I love playing Nurse, it's fun learning her mechanic and blinking through walls/floors/etc, and landing blinks feel so satisfying (especially my guess blinks) but she is out of control.

The game shouldn't have a character where the only counter to them is if the person who is playing them they don't know how to play the character.

Cause if they know? then they are unstoppable and factor in perks like Lethal Pursuer/Anything Aura reading really/Corrupt Intervention/DMS/Pain Res/or any perk honestly and the strong add-ons... they become unbeatable (looks at Nurse win streaks reaching 1000+)

I don't think she should be gutted completely but more so reworked to play similar to the Oni; where she is a normal M1 killer with a single blink (think her iridescent add-on Matchbox base kit while out of power) and then she builds up her power and then boom she can blink freely with minimal cool down/etc and then loses it once it runs out.

In other words... an Oni copy basically; perfect to me would be to make Matchbox base kit while out of power and then Torn Bookmark base kit when in power. Rework her two iris to be "collect less breaths to get power" and "30+ seconds to power before cool down into M1 with matchbox).

Just a thought as someone who love playing Nurse but don't love going against her cause it's usually no in between either a baby nurse that misses blinks and rely on NOED which don't even work with her power anymore and camping or a God-tier Nurse with aura reading stacked perks. I feel her power is so game breaking that it genuinely roots on the Nurse's skill and not the survivor's skill; either the Nurse isn't experienced and y'all win or it's a really good Nurse and GGs next; both player's skills should come into play.

I feel with a rework of this style or similar she could still be S-tier but more manageable and has to play the game of DBD and no longer harms game balance for killers. I also feel this would help people from just DC-ing or feeling hopeless against Nurse cause honestly? Against a GOOD Nurse? even base kit? is a tricky feat and don't even factor in aura reading builds.
