Easiest Nurse Nerf
Match her ability to the Spirit in which there is a cooldown. All other addons and functionality stay the same. You can even add an addon which lowers the cooldown a bit.
This makes her ability non-infinite, make looping a nurse possible after she burns her ability, leaves a LOT more room for mindgames from both the Nurse and survivors
As a balance point, you can even slightly increase her speed.
I can't be the first person to have thought of this, but this NEEDS to happen. Nurse is a no-skill 2k, 4k against any team that rushes hook. As it currently stands, the only counter to nurse is a key or Lery's.

Nurse ?
...what ?
"Cindy that's not a monster, that's a sack of bones!"

I don't think this is a good idea. She just needs a smaller Lunge after blinking, something like Myers in Tier I.

Wouldnt she just become 110% killer with an ability to blink twice?
Because its either cd is really smol so its almost not noticeable or its long but we have to buff her speed to compensate.

She would become an M1 killer while abilities are on cooldown, just like spirit, yes.
It is important to return pallet and window play, as Nurse is the only killer that completely ignores these mechanics in the game. She also ignores elevation; such as having to go around to where there is a ledge or blinking straight to the top of Thompson's house.

Base nurse is fine, yes she is strong but she is balanced. The addons is where the issues arise. Once they change those she will be in a good spot.

You're telling me Nurse has no skill requirement? Come on, you have muscle memory to hard predictions. A Nurse who can't make predictions isn't a very good one. As for the mechanic of blinking, you can't say she's easy. Don't be disingenuous with sweeping statements.

Nurse does not need a nerf, especially with the current state of the game. And she is absolutely not a no-skill 4k. She is a very hard killer to get good with, and good survivors can juke her long enough to get the gens done.
A cool down for her power would just ruin her. You should try playing her before you suggest things like this.

Base nurse is not "fine", she ignores almost all map mechanics, with LOS being the only gameplay against her. If she is decent, she is unjukeable; you can watch an OhTofu video where he plays her with no perks and no addons, and just massacres the map.

Where exactly did I say she was easy, I am saying that if you take a prime survivor versus a "decent" nurse, she is unjukeable. Only gameplay is line of sight (where prediction is necessary, any time you see the survivor, there is no need for prediction).

Nurse is fine, she doesn't need a nerf, it's her add-ons that need to be attended to. Especially her range add-ons. I think her range addons should either decrease charge speed or decrease blink movement speed.

I said she is a no skill TWO kill. FOUR kill is for nurses in which survivors rush the hook like idiots.

Was just in a game last night where a 3man SWF heard the nurse, rushed her, got insta-downed and DC'd one at a time when being picked up. Less than 3min game. I didn't get hatch, and would have depip'd even if I did.
This doesn't happen with any other killer, and it's because playing against Nurse is un-fun. There are no mechanics beyond LOS.

Had this happen with just about every killer.
Nurse's base doesn't need any nerfs or buffs. Remove 4 blink 5 blink and make the charge time to distance ratio for distance addons the same as base. Fight speed should also reflect the extra distance.

Many people don't want a nerf to Nurse's base power. I would be happy though if her base power was nerfed slightly as well.

I'd rather have an intelligent nerf to Nurse and not an easy one.
