Nurse NERF? Stupid Move!🤦
Of all the things going on in this game, you're bringing up nerfing nurse again!? DBD devs seriously, you're the most "out of sync with your community" devs I've ever seen! Let's take it from the top how incompetent you've been since I've arrived on the scene around the release of Myers, from my memory. Obviously I don't remember all the stupid things you've done!
Let's just start with Myers. Released and was fairly cool to play. Perks nerfed into the ground.
Wraith rework. We ASKED that you REMOVE slowdown on UNCLOAK. That's it. What did you do? Remove Bloodhound from when cloaked. Nobody asked for this! You give him an auto windstorm, which is cool, bit slowed him even more on UNCLOAK which negates the auto windstorm! Why!? Mostly 🥔 get caught lacking against Wraith. You did do a decent job reworking add on.
Freddy! The most bullshit cash grab cave I've ever seen. Release Freddy was a GOD to low ranks, but was constantly double depip against high ranks. What do you do? Nerf him after a week based on free to play players crying that had no understanding of anything in the game. Once players adapted, you're about rework him again, which will be a nerf!
Clown sucks and I hate him. He's only good for Bamboozle.
Pig... We all know what happened. She's trash and RNG screwed. Recently got nerfed.
Legion. We been over this. Nerfed into Atlantis.
Plague. Yet again didn't listen. Could've been upper mid, but nope... Nerfed and got nothing killers suggested in PTB.
After 3 years, you're about to release this trash ghostface. Seriously? Yet another non threat killer because you're SCARED to actually challenge the "victims" of your game. Ridiculous.
I've said all that to say this. Of all the crap, you're looking to nerf your only viable killers in the tiers where the best players reside. How stupid is that? I don't care what you guys say. Nurse is fine... Period. You refuse to accept a nurse with thousands of hours will simply beat you. She's seen so the tricks, loops, mind games, etc. You need to hide and stop trying to loop... Period. Survivors never cry when it's a baby nurse or a mid tier nurse that doesn't have that much experience. Why? Because they can bully and troll for YouTube.
I've said it once and I'll say it again. These devs are worse than EA, and that's saying something given EA has been rated worst company of the year several times. EA also has competition on Activision, etc so they do actually listen to their players, especially to the players of games like Battlefield. These devs on the otherhand have a monopoly. BHVR is going to end up in a situation like Fortnite vs PUBG. Another "fortnite" will come along and actually send this one to ruin because the devs were too scared and/or stupid to LISTEN TO IT'S PLAYERS... MAINLY THE TOP TIERS. Plus it's clear the actual devs are not good players by any sense of the game. At least the battlefield devs, I've played with and against for example, are damn good players!
Keep on doing dumb ######### and pissing off Killers. Keep on releasing garbage ass products and cash grabs. When some company rises up and snatches the rug from under you, it will be too late to try and do right then. Yes I said it and I don't care if I get banned.

Love the title.

"Nerfed into Atlantis."
^^ I like that one. :D
17 -
Imo as Long as Nurse will only get addons changed (especially multiple blinks) I personally can deal with that. But if they attempt to touch her Base power they will do the biggest mistake ever.
18 -
Omega blink and multiple blink needs to go nurse will survive those addons being removed.
23 -
Let's go into how the clearly killed legion. All that needed to be done was to remove moonwalking... The end. If a killer commits to killing you, you will go down... Regardless. You can't loop forever. This is what happened.
Oh you want to use FMT & SWS to be a threat? Nah dawg, we nerfing y'all. FMT requires 4 or so hits + stuns to down. Git gud!
Oh you want to Chase and deactivate frenzy to M1? Oh no playa, we adding a stun, that's long as hell, alongside darkening the screen. How ya like dat?
Oh you wanna Deep Wound then back off and come back? We can't have dat dawg. DW doesn't decrease in terror radius and ya can't see DW progress. Fasho ya loving dat!
Oh you wanna stack cool down add on to still try to frenzy chase then m1? Nizzerf!
Oh and we also nerfed vaults to hell. Good luck chasing through the loop dawg, but we did do ua justice. We made frenzy SLOWER, but last longer. Be careful tho, if you miss an attack in frenzy, ya lose the entire bar.
"HOW YA LIKE MEH NAO!!!!! BYTCHES!!!!" -BHVR
7 -
You're saying Nurse is the only viable killer when we have The Spirit.
12 -
I just like the way you said it not because of Legion lol.
But yeah I stopped playing Legion after the nerf. I wanted to try Pig but they also nerfed her. So I just play Mikey.
2 -
Hehehehe, this one is new! 😂
4 -
I'm a Billy/Nurse main and I actually prestige Legion before any other killer. I liked Legion that much. Since the nerf, haven't touched him.
0 -
@DeadbyThePlague123 don't forget the cursed 9 letter word...
(whispers dramatically)… lootboxes.
physically shivers
Uhhh, I feel like I'm getting nightmares tonight just for mentioning it.
6 -
Wraith is in a good spot right now.
Freddy is getting reworked.
Clown is the most annoying and most unfun to play against, he can stop loops sometimes even before you reach them. I guess this is just a case of git gud.
All of the Pig mains I know would disagree with that statement.
Legion. Overnerfed? Yes. Is it for the best? Yes. If you legitimately think FMT was okay, I might actually stop and never look at this thread because having a convo with a biased Killer main is not for me, because it leads to nowhere. Stun after Frenzy is logical, imagine that there was no stun, he would probably become a top tier killer and super OP. Old Legion was the most bullshit killer in the entire game.
Plague is good in the right hands, although she can be slowed down if survivors don't cleanse, that makes her an M1 killer.
Ghostface. PTB. Public. Test. Build. TEST. That's all I'm going to say.
Nurse is a Killer that requires a LOT of skill to learn and master, but when you do, you become an unstoppable killing machine that will get 4ks and 3ks 9.9/10 games. That is not okay. Just cause you learned how to play her, doesn't mean you should be unstoppable. But, I do agree that her base power shouldn't get nerf, mainly just her addons.
The devs "not listening to the players". Please explain that, because if you're referring to the Killer mains on this forum, I am so glad they didn't. This game would be in a even bigger mess than it is right now.
9 -
Then there's the answer to your problem. New Legion isn't that bad. You keep telling Survivors to adapt but how about you adapt yourself. Or are you just a big hypocrite?
6 -
Calling it, Nurse base movement speed buffed to 220%
Because /balance.
0 -
@Mikeadatrix my exact thoughts too.
4 -
"Clearly killed Legion"
Lol somebody used FMT way to often.
2 -
Holy its not that bad.
Only thing thats bad are some of the add-ons because they just cant work properly/well
0 -
Dude what the hell ever.
Wraith is NOT rank 1 viable. Add on dependent!
Pig is not rank 1 viable. Very add on dependent.
Clown can stop loops yes, but he's not r1 viable and still add on dependent.
Legion did not deserve to be made near useless. You damn right I liked FMT, but even still an elite group of survivors would smash you.
Plague is a joke and you know it. Her power does nothing to threaten Survivors and she's also very add on dependent. Gen rush and loops destroy her too.
If you MASTER nurse you should destroy the game. She's 100% reliant on her power AND she has to think about what you will do before you do it. How is that not worth what she brings? There aren't many god nurse players left so why all the crying? Survivors just don't want to face dangerous killers... Period. I destroy the game with Billy, on PC with a pad, and STILL have hell with elite r1 players & SWF.
Just because you mastered looping and finding hex within the first 3 seconds doesn't mean you deserve to survive every game. Doesn't that sound stupid?
This game has about 15 killers. Only 5 are "viable."
1. Nurse, the best period.
2. Billy, the best behind nurse. Can be stopped by pallets.
3. Spirit, third best for me. Very add on dependent & sound dependent. Sound bugs break her viability.
4. Hag, the wild card. She can be placed anywhere based on who uses her. Compared to the top 3, hampered by mobility issues in a Chase.
5. Huntress, trash to me and boring but I know she can destroy the game.
9 -
Where is the official nurse nerf post?
Sorry for my ignorance.
2 -
Hell no dude she's fine. They balance this game and r20 players. Nurse is THE WORST in lower ranks.
5 -
How are they nerfing the nurse?
1 -
I think alot of people on here are sheep you follow the meta dont think for them selves any killer can be viable it depends on the player
2 -
All killers are reliant on their powers. If they didn't, they would just all be M1 Killers, and as killers like to say M1 killers are trash.
3 -
lol
1 -
@KaoMinerva You really have a point there. In pretty much all aspects, this game isn't even balanced for green ranks (not even talking about purple & red).
Sure, Omegablink- and 5-Blink-Nurse are too powerful, but if this is going to get adjusted, other things like insta-heals also have to get adjusted.
5 -
Nerf nurse to hell right, but compensate with THE REMOVAL OF LOOPING! That's a conversation Survivors don't want to have!
6 -
I don’t recall them saying they were nerfing her on the Q&A today.
2 -
Pretty much sums up the butchering BHVR did to legion, instead of making him better they just took every note survivors wrote down in their book of nerfs and applied them in patch.....
9 -
And that's exactly what they did to plague too. Survivors complained she could get all the way close so they nerfed her.
0 -
Legion needed some changes but let's be real, they were bad at doing their job. I had much better success at hooking people with some mid tier killers at higher ranks. I played Legion because I loved how they look and some of their playstyle. I doubt it is even playable now at all. Unless you want to just run around and stab people without killing them.
3 -
Well on the side, devs did a good job with pallets, ds, hatch and end game... but i cannot disagree with you. Realising ######### killers and overnerfing others is not the way to go. As much as i love Ghostface design (animations, lore, idea for power, his model) he is literally useless. Useless!
Nerfing Nurse huh? God tier nurse mains will still kill with her while she will become even harder to get into.
Edit: Nerfing Legion and buffing borrowed time. Jesus ######### Christ this is the reason i will never again buy dlc. Devs really don't understand their own game.
4 -
You dont really get it do you they making her more viable for both sides right now shes just powerfull since most of them use the omegablink or 3 blink those needs to be removed and thats it dont get too crazy about cuz most players play her
2 -
More viable? You think the Nurse needs to be more viable? The very notion is absurd.
7 -
Nurse can be broken, but her addons need more attention than the Nurse’s power itself.
period.
So OMEGABLINK and other stuff is gone, because that stuff is frustrating to against.
4 -
Don't you see you are cursed??? Stop playing Mikey or they will nerf him next! Play Leatherface instead please
2 -
I got Freddy and never tried him. Maybe...
2 -
@Watery "frustrating", this argument shows the problem with players who complain about "strong" or "OP" killers.
This game is great BECAUSE it's often frustrating. I really don't mean to be condescending, but those who can't take a bit of frustration, should play something else.
5 -
Legions job was to split pain and maximize points. They do both exceedingly well. 4k? No. But you dint need a 4k every game to enjoy playing it. Well, *I* dont.
1 -
So OMEGABLINK and other stuff is gone, because that stuff is frustrating to against.
Second change perks are frustrating on the killers side when they stack them. Do you see why you need to look at something from both POV rather than just 1 side of the issue? Exhaustion instantly resets after your off the hook so all those second chances are now options on top of MoM, BT, Adrenaline, and so on. See how this works both sides can point stuff out but unless you have a suggestion to balance it your just complaining and demanding nerfs. I agree that Nurse needs some changes but nerfing her will only bring Billy to top tier play. After the map changes where loops are smaller I would be interested in seeing them look at Nurse in a balance way but just nerfing her to bring her in line with the lower tier killers only rather than some nerfs and some changes isn't the direction to go.
2 -
Just like LOOPING is frustrating. Gen rush, ex hex cleanse, etc but what have the devs done? Nothing. They won't erase looping, they won't fix hex and they refuse to do something to stop this gen rush. It's a damn shame a perk is MANDATORY to gain some kind of momentum. Even if it's 10s stall, ruin has done it's job!
2 -
Why haven't we received some kind of feedback on this matter?
0 -
They don't care about killers. Every time they present stuff its always presented for survivors. Killers are always an afterthought, changes made for killers benefit take a long time if they ever even come.
They actively will not make changes that will upset survivors even if it meant putting game balance in a much healthier state. Just look at gens, can't increase the time cause its too boring to hold m1 any longer, but they dont do anything to help alleviate the issue. Everyone is using ruin and thats just fine, they think its good design for a single perk to be used so much.
I juat believe they don't want to scare off the average player who dies to nearly everything. Someone said it best that killers are just meant for entertainment, were getting close to being npc's in a video game. Designed to be defeated.
1 -
I agree with every single point you make accept for your overall one, as the nurse is OP, and nothing else you said argued against that
0 -
All the Devs care about is $$$, and that means the cash shop, which means they want the majority to buy things and be happy.
..And there's 4 Survivors to every Killer, which makes them the majority.
Think about it; the Trappers beartraps had (and might still have) a bug to float at head height for YEARS..and the devs were fixing cosmetics first. This shows where their priorities lie.
This is no longer Dead By Daylight: In DBDL, 1 Survivor leaving would be Bad. 2 would be Baseline. 3 would be Good. 4 would be 'Damn! I can't believe we actually pulled it off!'
This is Boo! Haunted House: 3-4 Survivors always get away, because no one gets hurt in a haunted house! The Workers(Killers) are there to scare you and guide you to the Exits. If you get hurt, fill out this little form whining about what happened and we'll fire(nerf) that Killer right away, Sir! Be sure to check out the Gift Shop(Cosmetics Store) before you leave!
3 -
Agreed. It'll be a stupid move to touch the only killer to knock down that SWF. I tend to play with Spirit, but when I see a group of 4 spawn at once with Flashlights and Medkits, I know a killer like Spirit will struggle a bit, but my Nurse will get those kills.
She's needed and maybe some addons needs a look at, but she, herself should not be touched.
3 -
They said Nurse is on their radar. This created fear of a nerf, I'm pretty fearful myself :P
4 -
Quoting one of the devs? Because they said just that and got a huge uproar about it when asked if they where doing anything about how stressful it is to play killer. Because if this is going to apply to killer, survivors should have a frustrating time too don't you think? And maybe some low ranks do, but when you actually learn to play as survivor its really easy and pretty much stress free. And most of the time your just on a generator being chill. As a killer you have to constantly be doing something, every second your not is more generator progression that your not stopping. And most killers don't have the tool to put pressure on even the smallest maps, not to mention the current trend of making gigantic maps that are nigh impossible to put any pressure on unless you play really boring and just camp three gens for the whole game, and thats not even a guarantee.

When it comes to going against the cream of the crop Nurse is the only killer that can handle those teams... and even then if a team like the depip squad went in with the intention of just escaping not even a 5 blink nurse can handle it...
1 -
Nerfing nurse would be a terrible idea shes one of the few killers where as you play her you get rewarded which is what this game needs more of if there were more killers that rewarded for skill and not just chase sim then nurse wouldnt beas common in red ranks... this game will go downhill imo a lot of killers love nurse because she was implemented to counter looping which is still terrible to this day...
1 -
They mentioned Nurse when talking about killer "updates" and how their add-ons were changed, and considering they've mentioned it before in a similar way iirc it just seems like they'll change her add-ons if you ask me. Sounds good to me as she has a LOT of add-ons that very rarely see use because they have icky downsides (-1 blink and harsh charge speed/range penalties suck to deal with), meanwhile omegablink's "downside" doesn't even do anything at all.
If anything I'm more curious what they meant when they mentioned the "chainsaw bros". Does that just mean reduce the effectiveness of "instasaw" combos or something, or will Bubba finally get more add-ons he doesn't share with Billy?
