How to nerf nurse
One of the ever lasting problem with this killer is her kill rate. Most players are simply not good at this killer, but once you‘ve learned her, she got close to 0 counterplay.
So the goal needs to be making her more accessible before starting to nerf her, which brings me to this addon:
It makes her much easier and much more accessible to people that don‘t want to memorize her attack, which is the reason why I always pick it on her.
After that we could start nerfing her numbers and she would stay a strong and unique killer, but with more counterplay.
- Most importantly the cooldown for her power should be a little longer like 0.5 seconds per stack
- The speed of her blink could be reduced so it is a little harder to hit.
Both would give survivors a little more breathing room and reward dodging her attack.
- The lundge after her blink could be made shorter, so she has to be more precise.
There‘s probably some other better alternatives to nerf her, but that‘s the easiest I could think off. Nurse in general is one of the killers I like facing a lot since her counterplay is fundamentally different to all other killers, but once a nurse player reaches a certain level of skill, there simply is no way to win as survivor. Nurse needs some nerfs dedicated to people that are really good with her and she needs to be easier for the average person. Many people said she needs a rework, but I don‘t think that‘s necessary personally.

Just rework the addon for it. Base range is fine imo.
Slightly higher cooldown is fine, but I wouldn't touch speed of her blink. That's something that can make her useless very quickly, especially if you also want to nerf her lunge…
I would personally just want to rework her lunge addon and make it so she can't see survivor aura while charging the blink.

Pretty much all of this.

I'd just make her unable to see auras when using her power, and call it a day. Maybe nuke Heavy Panting if you want to weaken her more.

Nurse only needs removal of her lunge add on, because it makes precise blinks non-existing. A lot of mid to bad nurses missed a lot from poor blinks but with this add on the skill went massively down. Auras are fine imo, better than fully stacked slowdown on already overtuned killer.

I think the only changes needed is a rework of the Heavy Panting addon, and giving her Blindness while holding a blink.

Issue is whole counterplay against Nurse is trying to predict and break LoS, which is just not possible when she can see you.
If you make her unable to see it while charging, she will still use information perks, just not chase type.
Spirit, or Knight don't see survivor aura with their power, yet they still use info perks. There is no reason for it to be different with Nurse.0 -
Just nerfing her cooldown and that addon wouldn‘t be enough tho. She would still be way too overtuned

Still find it hilarious that they felt the need to give her this ridiculous addon (as well as the purple teleport one) a few years ago when nerfing her (a bit) for the first time in years. They're so tonedeaf sometimes.

Hiding survivor aura for her would secure her counterplay to be viable in all cases, which would help survivors a lot, if they know what to do.
Nerfing her teleport speed along her lunge would be overnerf, because long range blinks would kinda require survivor to run into you. That's something that would make her "feel" worse to play, which is never a good thing to do.
It would also make hold W so much stronger against her, which is kinda cheap "fix".Cooldown, lunge addon and hiding survivor aura would be enough to bring her down a bit. It's not like there is need to nerf her into C tier. She can still be one of best killers in DBD, just nerf her crutches.

I honestly never play nurse with aura addons and survivors don’t have a chance at winning if I’m not messing around and I’m not that good with her, but still win like 90% of the time. Now give her to someone better and she has no counterplay.
Sure doing these things (“Cooldown, lunge addon and hiding survivor aura”) would be good, but she would stay at almost the same power level.
Nerfing her teleport speed along her lunge would be overnerf
I‘m not saying they should nerf her big in that case but slightly.

Well I much rather gamble her having NTH and LP rather than another killer running full slowdown set up.
