100% Serious, Survivor mains play as the nurse.
Like i said i'm 100% serious i want some survivor mains to play 100 games as the nurse. The nurses level of power is constantly coming up and the best way to understand something is to see it from all sides. I have a decent amount of experience from the killers side and don't see the OP argument. However as a survivor i barely see a nurse and when i do they are pretty manageable. Since my survivor side experience seems pretty limited i would ask that survivors expand their knowledge with the killer sided view. So yeah i would really like to hear opinions on the nurse as far as the rank they achieved, the perks and add on's they used, their number of kills, how the nurse controls and did they ever encounter situations where they needed to camp and tunnel.

I use to be a nurse main and back then I was under the illusion she was balanced. I’ve played against good nurses even on PS4 and the counterplay I thought she had was non-existent.

My time as a nurse main was before they fix the whole falling through the floor.

Do you play surv at rank 20? Then oc nurses wont be that capable. Play at red rank against nurse. Its ridiculous how op she is even with only her basekit.

A lot of survivors (and killers TOO) call everything that offers them a challenge OP.

I play around high green/low purple ranks

On red ranks, a Nurse is formidable. She requires an entirely different counterplay than any other killer, and even if survivors know what they are doing, if she's good, she will have at least some kills.
It's still only people who exclusively play survivor who think she's unbalanced: a lot of players hate how the game is controlled by the killer's skill, not survivors'. But she's balanced; in fact, on rank 1 she's the only killer worth playing.

Thing is, survivors want her nerfed because shes actually one of the few killers that are good and dont rely on the survivors being trash to get results.
shes one of the hardest killers in the game to master and other killers should be balanced around her. Not the other way around. Shes not OP at all

It's the same reason killers cry that survivors are OP because killers can get kills only if the survivors makes mistakes. Same with a nurse, if the nurse makes no mistakes the survivors will die and the nurse doesn't need three other people to coordinate with.

I ranked up the nurse in no time and use her to get points for my survivors. Nurse is cake and op. No skill needed to chain blink

You really don't see the OP argument...? Not all Nurses are mediocre. Some are good or even great. I have nothing against base Nurse, but it's quite troublesome when you start bringing in omega or multi-blink add-ons. The moment I hear a Nurse blink more than twice, I know how the game will go.

This should be for all killers. They say Legion is bad, when he's not a great killer. Sure, they work against bad survivors, but good survivors will make the game hell. That goes for Wraith, Leatherface, Trapper, the list goes on.
Nurse isn't op. As a survivor, I can often juke them. As a killer I can play well, but usually if they're predictable.

This is because she's the only killer that doesn't rely on mistakes on the survivor's part. When Legion was like that, people complained. They're discussing that about Spirit now.
It's good to have a killer that can do well without survivor's input. It gives the killer the role they deserve: the power role.

@Raven014 This argument to me is always so ridiculous. While I have no opinion on whether Nurse needs to be nerfed or not, having someone do well simply because they put in the time REGARDLESS of the other players is a terrible design. Imagine if this were ACTUALLY true? Survivors might as well just go sit in the center of the map, stand there until they get crows and let the nurse hook them. There'd be no point trying to fight her because she would win regardless of their skill. I'm glad people with this thought process don't determine the balance of the game. Think about it. What if Survivors could always escape as long as they were skilled enough, regardless of how skilled the killer(whatever killer it is) was? It'd be ridiculous right? Now apply this to Nurse or any other killer. If a killer simply won because they played them enough, regardless of how skilled the survivors were? How would this even feel like an accomplishment? You'd just go in with the mindset of "I'm always going to win" and it would kill the game. Gameplay needs to be balanced across both roles. If a survivor is good enough, they should be able to escape as long as they are more skilled than the killer. If the killer is more skilled than the survivors, they should win(obviously with a bit of randomness a more skilled survivor could die, or a killer could not win, but in general this is how the game is and should be balanced). No one should win "just because they played a character enough". That's the most idiotic argument I've ever heard.

Not really. You can be as skilled as possible as Wraith or Trapper, yet can have all your traps disarmed or be brought out of invis by flashlight. You can run a perfect game, or as good as you can, but survivors will usually win. So yes, survivors essentially can escape all the time if they're skilled enough.
It is ridiculous. Thanks for the right word.

@Raven014 I've seen killers 4k with Trapper and Wraith both at rank 1. TrU3 has 2 recent videos of Wraith where he wins. If a survivor won, it's because they were more skilled than the killer.

'the power role' !!!!
LOL whenever I see someone text that - like it is a sacred level of being or something.
So, when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, which should prevail?
'the power role'?!?!?
It is far easier to coordinate a killer's activity than a pack of survivors. The only thing survivors really have going for themselves is the ability to split attention and get multiple tasks done, well, at least until they start dying off.

Red rank survivor and killer, and I could not recommend enough that people play both sides. I’ve ran into too many survivors who are the meme-worthy “you suck and didn’t play right” but have never played killer. I also know plenty of entitled killers who think that they’re always the victim. I cannot recommend playing both sides enough. As far as nurse goes, I’m admittedly biased. I play on Xbox, and on over 1,500 hours have only ran into two or three nurses that felt like pros, and only one that made me feel incapable of countering. As far as PC goes, I’d say wait for the add-ons to get looked at first, as they are the real threat. Nurse may very well need some changes after that, but I think the add-ons prevent us from getting a true picture of her strength, unless you cite some pro player as evidence.
