Will the Nurse changes go live on PS4?
The Nurse isn't the best in PS4, will they go live? I don't play her, but I know she's hard enough to be barely used on here. I know devs don't really do separate things for PC and console but I think it might be needed in this case? I dunno, I just kinda wanna see her more on console cause she's kinda fun

Nurse is pretty much an endangered species on PS4, the controller makes her extremely hard to play so these further nerfs would probably be her nail in the coffin on console.

I know. With the proper settings she's playable (I'm practicing her rn) but she's still super hard. This nerf might make Nurse an ultra rare on console

Nurse is still the best killer on ps4, even if players can’t use her properly for thousands of reason. Asking to cancel the changes would be nonsense.
1 -
She isn't the best in PS4, no one even uses her. The best on here are Spirit and Billy
Edit: Myers and Hag too
2 -
Do you even play on console? She is legit THE WORST on there, spirit is by far the best.
1 -
The game it’s the same. Only because platforms specific hinders the player who play her, doesn’t mean she’s weaker herself.
0 -
She is weaker due to the massive frame drop when blinking. The Nurse isn't viable even at red ranks here. Any person that picks Nurse always gets bullied to hell and back and it's kinda sad to see
2 -
With the sensitivity the way it is, nurse is unable to turn freely while blinking like she is on PC, combine that with how the fps is..... optimization is in general and you have arguably the worst gaming experience.... I just went against a nurse for first time in 3 months, where as on PC you get a nurse everyday....

To answer your question... yes, they will. Changes that come with patches are universal across all platforms. I don't believe there has ever been an exception.

Unfortunately, developers tend not to care about console killers when they do balance patches.
7 -
Dang that sucks, I don't think she's worth practicing then :/
0 -
Yep, I had hopes to one day give her more serious practice to play...now I won't bother...esp with some of the bullying Survivors we tend to have and how the slightest mistake can cost so much...
Fatigue, nerfed blinks, slow movement speed, unable to snap-shot Blinks or turn,on a dime like PC players can....why, other than memes or messing around would I play her?
3 -
She'll still be the best killer in the game since she ignores all chase mechanics like walls/pallets and can hop floors without taking stairs
0 -
Not for console and especially not with the incoming nerfs, she has added handicaps. Spirit is by far outclassing her, along with Hillbilly, Hag, Michael and Ghost Face tending to be seen far more. Survivors can easily dodge and bait out Nurse and she lacks the ability to quick snap her Blinks to trick or trick hit Survivors....unless the Survivors are extreme potatos....on console, they should not be,losing to a Nurse
3 -
Not on PS4, she's garbage there sadly. Hag, Spirit, Billy, Ghost and Myers are the best on console
1 -
I use to main nurse on PS4, @Doc_W__HOLLIDAY can confirm and she is still the best killer.
0 -
They just aren’t facing a good nurse, she is still far more capable then any other killer, most console people just aren’t very good with her.
0 -
And I can count on one hand the amount of Nurses I have went up against in the entirety of me playing DBD, is indicative of a problem where hardly anyone is inclined to play as her...playing Green & Purple Ranks as Survivor you would still expect to face the occasional Nurse...but practically nobody is playing her....
2 -
Hag is played even less, does that make weak?
0 -
I have gone against far more Hags on Ps4 than Nurse will ever amount to. She's only surpassed by Michael Myers and Spirit for the Killers I go against the most. Are there Nurse players? Sure, not arguing that...but aside from probably Clown she is thee least used, let alone a skilled one and Ive been playing for 2 years
People are put off from playing her because of the frame rate and lack of the accuracy a Mouse can afford. We can keep going back and forth on this, but I already see we won't move from our positions.
1 -
The majority of people say that Hag is extremely rare, I’ve seen as many good console nurses as I have Hag in general, we’ll have to agree to disagree I guess.

Long live Rin :)

Would be nice if we could get an official word from BHVR, like a Monthly/Yearly look for these across the platforms the game is on. I recall them once while back posting numbers for something *shrugs*.
You have a good one Groot ^_^

I’d like to see some stats too.
You have a good day too :)

You are 1000% wrong, she is the worst killer on PS4. So bad that she is completely unused. I can 4k regularly with every killer, except nurse, i get utterly stomped, the sensitivity just isn't there to make it work.
2 -
You are 10000% wrong, back in my nurse main days, I made her the strongest killer. I only stopped playing her because I started getting dcs and suicides on the hook.
0 -
Oh that must be why it's nothing but nurses at red ranks! Oh wait, it's anything BUT nurses at red ranks!
3 -
Do you think Hag and huntress are also weak? Nurse is pretty hard to learn on console and most players don’t have time for it, I actually saw mostly legions at red ranks before reset, does that make Legion number one?
0 -
I think every killer is viable at red ranks with decent add ons, I can 4k with any of them using the top 50% quality add ons, but not nurse, you said you were good with nurse back in the day, well all survivors do against nurse now is double back when you blink and the controller isn't sensitive enough to turn around and hit them, so you miss. I think I've seen one nurse player in the last three months and everyone escaped.
3 -
I would argue having the potential to be the best doesn't matter if nobody is living up to that potential. While I'm sure there are great Nurse players on console I've never seen one.
0 -
Survivors always tried that on me, it isn’t a hard thing to counter if you know that they’re trying it.
0 -
I’ve probably seen about as many good nurses as hag in general but experiences may vary.
0 -
I've seen one good hag, ever, and that was like a year ago.
0 -
True. Stats on all these things would be fascinating. At least to me.
0 -
Agreed
0 -
Depends on the Nurse honestly and the console version the killer is using. There are some amazingly powerful Nurse players and then the majority are either ok to terrible with a few good ones in between.
Understand that I prided myself on 1 blink hits with no addons or ruin
0 -
I’ve seen one good hag and it was sometime this year, me and the hag player are friends now.
0 -
I used ruin but didn’t use add ons often
0 -
I admittedly haven't put very much time in to the nurse, I'm sure she can be playable with practice, I'm not there yet haven't had the time, but God she sucks
2 -
It took me probably a month before I really got a hold of her.
0 -
Good Nurses exist on console, it's just much harder to accomplish.
And it's still dead by daylight, there's no reason they wouldn't add it. They just need to figure out something with controls to help her out.
1 -
Yah after this I’m expecting Nurse to be the hardest part of the platinum if even possible
1 -
Hopefully they at least revert the base kit nerf
