Hot take: Nurse is beatable

why? easy, watch this and you will know

and you will see its not the "only addons are op" bs posts, its the killer.

but like i said, we need a killer who can 4k easily, its healthy for the game so everything alright with nurse

Yes she is:

• Step 1: Suicide on hook to deny - "mUh FaCeRoLl PhArM".
• Step 2: If a Survivor rescues you before you can suicide on hook, punch them in the face and repeat step 1
• Step 3: Find a match with a fairly balanced Killer.

Are there inside the game guides for looping and mind gaming? If so, the tutorial has definitely improved since I last checked it out.

Survivors have always refused to deviate from their toxic and abusive play style for three years now.

The Nurse was the first dlc killer, specifically designed to counter that play style in the expectation that survivors would git gud and adapt the way the play as much as killers do. Unsurprisingly, they didn't. The Pretty Gud Job gang put too much faith in them.

The Nurse is not the problem here. Survivors did totally fine against her after she was hit with the unjustified omega-nerf. It's kinda funny how survivors used the advices killers gave to them on how to beat the Nurse only after that.

Then they forgot everything and got worse at the game by leaning more and more on their luxury crutches (infinites, then pallet-loops). In the meantime, Nurse players adapted, they changed how they played the Nurse, inventing her play style as we know it today.

TL;DR In spite of dismissing every single complaint from killers by telling them to just GiT gUd and AdAPt, survivors never did such things themselves, and that's why they have so many problems when they face a good Nurse.

Not going into the merit of her being unbeatable or not (especially because unbeatable is a pretty strong word), but the "survivors rely too much on loops" thing doesn't hold up.

If there was some magical, consistent counterplay against her in high level I'm pretty sure we'd see it being used all the time in red ranks and she wouldn't be used so much by players who can't climb with anything else.

I personally do not think she's balanced at the highest level and has nowhere near enough weaknesses to compensate for her strenghts. The fact that most killers are downright bad at red ranks makes her look even more absurd, because she's way better than most.

I personally believe Nurse is beatable, but it definitely depends on her setup and the map involved.

Default Nurse is fair game because her power gives survivors enough wiggle room to react. As long as survivors manage their distance, and break line of sight when the Nurse misses a chain blink, they should not drop like flies.

To my knowledge, Nurse cannot chase after survivors with 100% accuracy all over the map. There are some areas that if caught in can get you killed really quick, but that applies to other killers as well. Or course, this all ties in with map design. I think all maps should have a minimum number of LOS breakers to facilitate mind gaming. Maps like Blood Lodge are hard to juke Nurses.

Lastly, Nurse does have problematic add ons. When you start combining these add ons, you drastically reduce a survivor's counter play. For instance, there's really nothing you can do against a 5 blink Nurse. She's going to get a hit.

This is why I believe stealth and mind gaming should be made a little stronger on some maps. Other maps need the opposite though (Lery's and Haddonfield). In addition to map design, toning down her add ons should put Nurse in a decent spot.

Against a very good Nurse, the best thing you can do is to be stealthy and try your best to not get found. If she wastes too much time not finding anybody, you have a chance if you get gens done fast enough.
