The nurse nerf debate has a simple solution
It's pretty obvious the nurse is pretty OP once the player learns how to use her well. I myself am sick of playing her all the time for easy 4ks. Consider this though: currently there are only a select few killers who are actually viable at rank 1. Nerfing nurse would possibly make it so we just have one less viable killer for red ranks.
I want to share an anecdotal example and yeah I know anecdotes are not great sources of evidence but still hear me out. I have used the nurse to the best of my ability against the best SWF I know. All of us have 1000+ hours. I played fair and it was a very tense game. They know how to juke a nurse, they know the deadzones, etc. If we consider the time logistics of the game (gen rush) and the 4 survivors ability to juke/hide from a nurse, even a great nurse will still NOT ALWAYS dominate.
Regardless of those rare swf that have 1000s of hours, I do agree the nurse is too strong. Is that a bad thing though? I mean at least she takes some skill to play. Also, I personally think the devs should NOT nerf her until some of the mid to low tier killers are buffed properly and red rank viable. That is my solution to this.

People really over exaggerate with "only a few killers viable at rank 1" ,tbh.

We are usually referring to the best teams at rank 1. I have killed with every low tier killer at rank 1 but it was because the survivors were mediocre and did not gen rush, etc...

Makes sense

Killer's should not be made weak because of those survivors lack of skill and mistakes. It's called adapting and 'getting gud' as some say lol. Obviously nurse is the most frustrating to play against since she goes through the survivors defenses. I just want the other killers to be more of a threat against the best teams.

The Nurse debate has a simple solution indeed: git gud and adapt like Nurse-mains did when she was made the worst killer in the game.

The Simple Solution Proposed: "Just do what I want."
Other People: "No."
..... Didn't work out that simple did it?

So you leave a reply with no substance or counter argument. Neat

They bugged her where after a hit she would wipe her weapon and then do the fatigue animation, it was something like 7-8 seconds of inaction. Yes she was one of the worst killers for a small period of time. This was quite some time ago.

I'll admit that the Nurse is more powerful than a good majority of survivors when played to her full potential. However, an SWF group played to their full potential is even more powerful than that. I wouldn't mind them balancing nurse as long as they also balance swf. But if any demands for a nurse nerf without accepting an swf nerf is hypocrisy, and BHVR has stated that they don't want to touch SWF, so it would be a dick move for them to nerf nurse.

There is no simple solution because the community is incredibly divided over this topic.

They could either A. reduce the distance on the range addons or..... Make them not stack ....... B. rework em completely..... samething with the blink addons rework or make em not stack which imo the blink addons shouldnt stack and an extra blink should be more very rare----> ultra

The fact that they also won the majority of the matches without coms was actually proof that survivor was just wildly superior on its own at that point. The game has gotten a bit more balanced since then, but that doesn't change the fact that an swf group playing to their full potential is incredibly powerful. If you're saying that killers should stop whining and just adapt to it, then you better also be saying that survivors should stop whining and just adapt to Nurse, otherwise it's massive hypocrisy.

No.

So thats why the tournamrent with money on the line was full of all those other viable killers, right?
