May be they meant more killers that hot like Nurse, not strong like Nurse. 👉️👈️

They definitely meant killers more like nurse because of her power which we don’t need in the community. Survivors already stress enough going against a nurse we don’t need another nurse alike nor similar abilities

I think Nurse's design is interesting and unique. We do need more Nurse-types who cannot play the same way as other killers at all.

so your wanting another nurse like S tier killer who can blink through objects and get free hits and downs?? The thing is we don’t need another nurse like the devs can’t even work on their low tier killers who doesn’t have the same advantage as nurse. Ghostface Onryo or Pig can’t even reach at the high level as nurse

They mean killer powers that change up the formula, which I agree with.
That doesn't mean they need to be the strongest most oppressive killer, just not another M1 or dashing killer.
Ultimately every killer's power has to be something that helps them close chases, whether that's by speeding up, removing health states, or by circumventing loop elements.
Nurse almost completely circumvents loops, but there can be other ways of doing that.
Singularity is probably the next closest thing to Nurse. It can bypass a lot of looping resources if you can master both the macro gameplay (biopod placement) and the direct skill (shooting mid chase) to teleport behind a survivor and ignore pallets.
It has a high skill floor and ceiling just like Nurse.
But of course it has a fair counter in EMPs. Any more 'Nurse like' killers simply need to be designed in a way that their counter makes up for their ability to ignore loop resources.

Have you considered that you're taking it too literally? More killers like the Nurse doesn't mean characters that function exactly the same. There's already a killer that's pretty much exactly the same function as Nurse—it's Spirit. That's not what the quote means, though. Because Spirit is still 110%, she is still playing pretty normally, if oppressively and uninterestingly. Nurse, though, is entirely unique, she CAN'T play the same game as anyone else, and blinks are pretty interesting and out there as a function. This quote is, I believe, really talking about having more killers that need to play the game entirely differently. Like, say, Freddy's original power forced him to play an entirely different game from the rest of the roster.

Yup, Nurse's blinks are "free hits". That's probably why she has the lowest kill rate in the game, the hits are so cheap the Nurse thinks they are beneath her dignity and refuses to take them.

New Killer: The Queen (based off chess)
Can move extremely fast in any direction.

I think we do. They have the opportunity to make an actually well balanced Nurse-like killer with incoming Dracula (not getting my hopes up). All they need to do is make the killer actually earns their blink tokens and make it a lil more execution/timing heavy.

That's nowhere near interesting or unique as nurse, we definitely do not need it

Nurse is legit very close to being in a healthy state. There are some client side issues on survivor side, where Nurse can hit a survivor before the survivor can see she finished her blink. And they should reduce her auto-aim post-blink a little bit (Hag doesnt have it, Nurse literally only has it because its otherwise nearly impossible on consoles), so that survivors have a better shot at dodging.
Other than that, her biggest issues are her addons, her basekit it pretty much fine.
As for Onryo, she had a period where she was definitely more lethal than Nurse. You could legit kill the first survivor with STBFL before the first gen could be done and chase the second survivor who is also close to death at that point. Even a Nurse didnt have that power.
Pig had something similar too, where she could literally do nothing all game, and the only way to counter her was to 99 all 5 gens, get everyone to check all the boxes and hope 3 people got their traps off so the 4th survivor could get hatch, and those were the lucky 7% of games. In most games(50-ish%), at least 2 people had traps they couldnt get rid of, or games where random survivors finished the gen before realizing piggy was bodyblocking a box, ensuring the death of at least 1 survivor(20-ish%), games where all 4 survivors could not get their traps off(3%) and games where 3 survivors couldnt get it off (20-ish%).
Yeah, Nurse has the most powerful gap closer in the game, making her very lethal in chase. But even Nurse was not so lethal as to being able to kill survivors by being AFK.0 -

If they mean a killer that functions differently than all others, offers unique counterplay and has areas that work well against the killer despite being complete garbage against all others than yes, we do indeed need more killers like Nurse in that sense.
Just the basic idea of having areas be strong that are otherwise weak is great, edge map is strong against Nurse, and almost useless against everyone else, I wish there were more killers that had such things.
