There ain't no "God Nurse"s, just not many great survivors. Change my mind.
<rant> Sure she can noobstomp average or even decent survivors and punish them mercilessly for their mistakes but against a solid team that knows how to run a nurse, she ain't much better than billy or spirit. I have seen many of the so called "God Nurse" streams and there are games where they have to play totally dirty to even get a single kill. Even with good add-ons, ruin etc because that's how fast the gen goes. I'm not going to explain how to play against her but feel free to take a look at the match ~2:15:42.
This is a legacy 3 nurse with thousands of hours and this is not just one instance and this is not just him. Truth is most streamers don't play her as much as this guy in streams so all we get to see is one "great" game every once in a while leading the masses to believe she is unbeatable. So, please stop calling for her nerfs just because your team got downed in a minute running in straight lines. Sure some of her add-ons could use some rework but let's leave the base nurse untouched for crying out loud </rant>

Luck is involved while playing as Nurse.
A God Nurse, is a Nurse very skillful and lucky.

The base Nurse is fine, she can be mindgamed easily it's just most dont try to break LOS for one and run in the open.
Some of her add-ons do need adjusted mostly those which have more downsides than upsides.
Good Nurses don't usually use omega blink or extra blinks as they want to keep the muscle memory when using her power so those could do with being tweaked as they can be a bit over the top.
The Nurse is one of the minority, extremely viable accross all ranks with no addons needed which is where most killer should be tbh, add-ons should give a little extra, not be needed and not be OP imo.

If a pc tournament has real money on the line, you almost exclusively see the successful killers bringing Nurse. Unless this is mass stupidity on the best survivors’ part; something is going on there.

A Nurse is only as good as you are, prediction is a lifesaver her, prediction ain't no perk or add on, it's just guessing the Survivor, reading them, all you can do.

I couldn't agree more. A team of 4 good survivors who know what they do can give a great nurse a run for her money. Even in the stream I embedded, you can see drastic difference between the survivors in that match and the following games and this was all in red ranks. Nurse appears OP to some due to the vast difference in skill within same ranks. To add further, you don't balance a game with best vs average, you balance it for the best vs the best.

This thread seems kind of pointless. Nurse will not be changed regardless of how the community feels about her. Her add-ons are problematic but that will be fixed shortly in the next days
I want to point out however that this streamer (which is very well known to hate and complain a lot...a fog whisperer too... ugh.) only focused on complaining about the "OP" perks but also did many mistakes during the game you bookmarked for us. It's obviously the survivor fault if he misses 5 blinks in a row, what a joke.
Sure, mettle used to be OP and got butchered but... Dead hard? Seriously? You can just avoid attacking after the first/second blink and they'll waste it in panic. Killers in the high ranks have gotten so used to it that they do not lunge anymore, rendering it useless most of the time.
Tl.dr: Nurse is strong but her add-ons makes her very difficult to deal with but not unbeatable, she does get relatively close to be unbeatable with the right power ups and combination of perks. If you get beat with such powerful add-on it's your fault. And this is coming from a Nurse main that knows exactly what he's talking about.

So 3k is a lost for a killer?

I didnt watch, if the Killer pipped, that's a victory to me. Doesn't matter the kill amount.
That's the current win condition.

Nurse ignores a lot of the obstacles and maneuvers survivors use to avoid a killer, which can and has been nearly perfected. Nurse, Spirit, and sometimes Billy are basically the only killers viable at the highest ranks, where more often than not are consistant of well put together Survivor teams.
If you know how to counter the team mixed with perfect blinks and jukes, I would say you are a God Nurse.

There are God nurses but they are not very common. They are the same as God Billies and every other killer.
Most nurses you can run circles around if you play your cards right. You can either stealth her to frustration or run around her with juking movements when she blinks, which can cause her to miss badly. It's a big mind game with quite a bit of luck involved. It's play and counterplay, that's how it's supposed to be. The one who outplays the other wins.
Nurse is fine I don't find her broken at all.
