Poll: Is addonless nurse balanced?
I think so.

Yes

Yes

no. still goes through objects. no counterplay in a chase. before anyone tells me to use LoS blockers that's not gonna work vs an experienced nurse

The vast majority of the time she's just teetering between balanced over overpowered. In the hands of an extremely good Nurse, she is without a doubt overpowered.
Which is fine, btw. Its good that there is an answer to the strongest thing survivors can do - 4 man SWF acting like they're in a tournament.

Yes

It does you just have to be unpredictable
5 -
Yes. Nurse becomes broken when she either uses extra Blink add-ons and the Omega Blink combo.
6 -
I think her power is inherently too strong, so no.
1 -
there's nothing to be unpredictable about if the nurse blinks to the corner where the LoS is broken, like a good nurse player would

How about people just deal with it look at all the unbalanced ######### killers gotta deal with and still get nerfed. As people would tell me if I posted about swf being broken af or loops being ridiculous get gud, but seriously though one killer vs unbalanced maps and perks. Get over it in time you’ll be wishing Freddy was back To normal.

I think Nurse is broken to be super weak on certain maps where blinks seem to be negated for some reason. However, sometimes she is also broken she can cut out a blink into an instant strike. If you even attempt to pallet slam 95% of the time she phases through the pallet anyway or gets a chance to still hit you. Which isn't a 'Stun' in my opinion just a semi delay to being hit. Then gets stunned after you are already bleeding out on the ground. However, I compare nurse to other killers ie Billy/Spirit. I have yet to see nurses that are average or better nurse players to get frequently destroyed like even these two do. She simply has no disadvantage other than 'broken' game mechanics.

Yes.

I think catatonic boy's treasure is a fair add-on, kind of annoying when you try to chain blink through something but can't.

Her distance add-ons need a slight nerf and remove all of her negatives for her add-ons so she doesn't get penalized for not having a ton of extra blinks then replace the extra blink add-ons with something else. Finally, make 1 extra blink add-on an ultra rare. (Edit: A good alternative to pallet stun for her is, if you managed to pallet stun her in mid-blink, just force the pallet to push her the opposite way so that if she used 2 blinks, she won't get a hit but at the same time, you can't just slap her in mid-blink either.)

Balanced? Maybe, strong? No, 2 nurse blink is super easy to juke.

Depends how you're asking the question.
Is nurse overpowered compared to a majority of the cast? Yes (but let's be real, the bar was pretty low for that to begin with).
Is nurse overpowered in the context of what this game is meant to be? No.
3 -
Nurse's power scales in strength with the experience of the player using her. She has a high skill threshold that has to be reached before she can be considered unbalanced without addons. Though at that point you can't do anything about as that is proper design.
1 -
Imo she is borderline unbalanced. She defies many game mechanics and is uncomparable to other killers. Mastering her makes you almost unbeatable* and that shouldn't be the case.
*yes even addonless
4 -
High skill high reward. Hard to play and very rewarding. Without add ons she’s balanced. Most of her add ons aren’t that good anyway.
1 -
yes it does lol
and even if it doesn't get you the hit then because the survivor was just that far away, the next set of blinks will if you use the same strategy. it's pretty foolproof since it gets you the hit with one blink if they double back and gets you the hit with the 2nd if they don't, barring you don't screw up (we're talking about a good nurse, so they're probably not going to)

Yes she is balanced that's why add-ons make her OP (at least range and multiple blinks one). however i don't understand why Legion have a 5s fatigue with a non lethal power, although the nurse have only a 2s fatigue.
If you want the killer that's the most balanced in the game : Hillbilly.

Epic
1 -
to me, yeah, considering her initial range isn't too far, and that her fatigue time is reasonable.
her power may seem strong to those, but to me, she seems perfectly fine!

Nope. Blink to a corner and then blink to readjust for survivor action; takes a few hours to practise/learn how it feels, then it's done with.
1 -
Yup

Yes

Nope, base range is a little too short.

Imo Base Nurse is balanced. Her add ons are not :P
1 -
Yes.
0 -
are you a console player
0 -
Yes/No. Yes because addonless nurse can be counterplayed against if you can juke well enough. Or if you are using a stealth build.
0 -
Yes/no. Addonless nurse can be counterplayed against with stealth, jukes, or metaperks, but she is still good without addons.
No, because nurse with/without addons, can blink and pratically ignore the loops. Though that depends on the skill of the nurse in question.

yes

Of course.
