Like dealing with children.

That's what this community is. Like dealing with children. You ######### and moan about something instead of trying to develop a counter to it, and the devs give in like lazy parents spoiling the children just to get them to shut up. Nurse had counters. Nurse had downsides. Base Nurse was perfect how she was. There was no doubt that addons needed to be fixed. Everyone agreed. Yet you had players with thousands of hours on both sides saying her base was fine, and you broke her anyway. Are you not going to stop until every killer is useless? Are you not going to stop until survivors are handed wins without trying? If you continue to balance the game around the brand new people this game will die. Rank 1 will become a wasteland of infinite survivors and nobody playing killer. Next you're gonna say Spirit is too powerful, and do some more "slight changes" and ruin her. Who's after that? Billy? Probably, we already have people saying he's too powerful. You look at this now like "oh well they're clearly not gonna go that far" but we've thought that since release. You think now that it can't get any worse, but when they take away Wraith's cloak cause it's "too powerful" you'll see just how clueless these developers are about their own game.

    They're taking interesting mechanics that allowed for a change of gameplay pace, and turning every killer into an m1 killer. You're being punished for using your power. Same thing happened to Legion. Same thing is going to happen to every killer. It's blatantly obvious that m1 killers are not powerful enough to compete at rank 1 levels against optimal survivors. Yet that's where every single one is trying to be taken to.

    The fact that you can't see it is what's ruining the balance. Nobody wants to deal with it. They just ignore it or actually believe it doesn't exist. But all you have to do is listen for a fraction of a second and complaints against the stupidest of #########. Instead of trying to develop counterplay, they #########. Tell me how that's not childish.

    I can turn this around and say that killers want easy 4ks every single match by playing nurse and spirit. Nurse and spirit being way too powerful and killers like trapper,wraith, pig,legion being too weak ruins the balance. I play nurse and spirit and get 4ks almost every match. I also complain that they are way too powerful because it is too easy.

    Both sides are childish in this community and whine about things constantly.

    Nurse isn't an ez 4k. It might seem easy to bad Surviviors who get crushed by her, but Nurse is the most skill based killer in this entire game.

    She is definitely not top of the food chain. Pressure is a thing of the past. Her skill curve is exponentially higher, yet her reward for being skillful is almost nonexistent now.

    It is an easy 4k to me. Most skill based killer is easily huntress imo

    She doesn't need her power to win chases unlike Nurse

    Sure, if you can catch survivors with huntress' slow speed then why not? I really doubt you can against good survivors.

    Ps4 here. I see a wide variety of killers. I also play a wide variety of killers at rank 1 and though there are some weaker killers, they are all viable at rank 1.

    I am probably a good killer, but nothing exceptional.

    That said, I do agree that changing the nurse's basekit is a mistake. I'll see how the ptb goes though before I cry on forums.

    I thought this was gonna be the "old wise man" post about telling everyone to relax and stop being childish....

    First I will say im not a fan of the blink change , but I reserve my judgement till I have time to play and see how good or bad it really is . The add ons I don't care they changed though I will have about 20-30 of the new reds because they are being converted from old commons .


    Secondly , there was a long period where only 2 or 3 killers could even be viable at red ranks , and survivors were handed the win 75% or more of the time , and nurse was one of the 2 or 3 . Balance is just that a hard thing to maintain you add weight to one side or the other every 3 months with new killer/survivors and perks then you have to go back and make changes not to just those things but everything else they effect . You try to improve things so that its equally fair and on paper it looks great but in practice not so good . Its a constant give and take and one side usually end up with more give then take .


    Lastly , Give it time to see what its actually like . How well she does or doesn't play and give it time to to adjust to the new playstyle . I didn't like the new freddy at first but after relearning to play him I realized how much better in some ways he was .

    M1 killers aren't that powerful, true. That's why we are getting map reworks, to even allow killers that don't have an ability that helps in chases more counterplay in chases.

    Having a 3 second recharge time to your blink is not a punishment. The ability itself is still the same and as strong as ever. You don't get punished for using the ability, you just have to wait a few seconds in order to use your power again.

    These changes also don't change Nurse into another M1 killer. Not even in the slightest.

    The map reworks takes months though 5 maybe 6 maps are good out of 32 so you'll still get God loops and fast gen speeds at least 50% of the killer roster aren't viable at red ranks but nerf nurse I'm a console user so I rarely see people play nurse but this still affects the 5 people who play nurse and we all know that the devs will go after spirit and Billy next then Freddy and plague until no killer players are playing the game

    Spirit getting some tweaks would be fine. So her counterplay isn't purely luck based. I really doubt Hillbilly, Freddy or Plague will be nerfed, unless map reworks make them op. I don't see that happening.

    I agree that map reworks are taking way too long. There is a map rework scheduled for the next mid-chapter patch, but I really hope it's more than one map that's getting changed. There are a lot of maps that really need improvements. And taking so long for that is not good. I was disappointed to see no changes to maps at all in this patch.
