The Nurse is being ignored

@Zoldyar are you a red rank nurse main?

Everyone agreed those add-ons need to go. So what are you talking about?

And you sound like you don't play nurse at all, and only experience her when playing survivors

Of course from survivor perspective, she is still the same, but we're talking about killer perspective here. You should not apply survivor perspective to killer perspective

I’ve been having more fun playing blinkless, perkless, soundless, add on less nurse than I’ve been having fun playing her normally. Seriously, that’s what I’ve been playing for the last hour and a half and I’ve smiled every game. Can’t claim to have had that experience playing her normally. Still get hooks sometimes too.

Of course I took my P3 outfit off before doing this...

I'm average at times using nurse, but I don't mind a challenge. I don't have stream, I have an Xbox.

Has never played Nurse at high ranks.

I have went against 6 people (I think it is more but I don't keep track) that uses 5 blink Nurse in total within my year (or months) of playing dbd.

I really don't get the big deal because must suriviors would try juking the killer then trying to escape. This is because all defences I'm capable of ignoring so all suriviors would bait me to blink me into the wrong position. Why I'm saying this is because this is a common thing I do and see suriviors do to try and waste time. The walking thing isn't a big deal because you can still recover your blink at a fast enough rate to hit a surivior.

I don't know how the type of games you guys played but for me everything seems fine. There was one game while using the nurse in which the surivior had one gen, then in like a minute I knock down three of the suriviors because I didn't miss one blink attack. The other guy escape through hatch. Granted when first using her I got destroyed (almost) at that game, until I realise that I shouldn't constantly be using my blink attack one at a time.

They added a cool down to the mobility of the slowest killer in the game that's a nerf, I 1000% agreeded the addons needed to be changed.

Yep they ######### up the nurse. Try to play her now in red or violet ranks, it's horrible... even by try-harding you will mostly get 1 kill max. She's worse than legion and pig right now.

Red rank Nurse main here to insert my input. And before I start, remember we are talking about a killer who is rated as Hard for a reason so points can be valid from any perspective within reason. TL;DR in very last paragraph for the lazy killer.

I play Nurse heavily with no addons ever (before and after the changes), sometimes I run pure vanilla (no perks also) because I can and why not. I have been playing her since about 3 months after she came out (18 August 2016) as at the time I was a wraith main looking to switch for a challenge; ah the days of when there was 5 survivors and 4 killers, feels like yesterday that was a thing lol. I wasn't always good with Nurse, I started with the old addons of the metal spoon and wooden horse and stopped using them when I felt comfortable with her base power.

I taught myself that the Nurse should be played with patience, she should not be played on impulses or erratic behavior. I strictly kept my blinks to a formal pattern of waiting before blinking again as it doesn't make sense to keep going into a fatigue state and continuously wonder if I am trailing the survivors right as scratch marks can be dastardly on some maps.

As someone who plays 50/50 of both sides, it was really nice not having matches that were less than 7 minutes because queues can take a while, hence why I throttled my blinks to a minimal until I needed them. This Nurse change of a timer adds a feature/restriction that I have always used on my own and that managed to get me to where I play now in the1-6 rank range until rank reset annoys me again or I just stay lazy in ranks I clearly don't belong in haha.

Her addon change was done beautifully, before they changed I never actively used them because they changed Nurse's blink power too much which affected muscle memory when you want to learn and remember how to play her with or without said addon. Now the addons are much more natural that they don't overly contort her power while keeping them within a reasonable range of stability.

Overall the changes to Nurse from me are greatly welcomed as I have nothing but favorable opinions towards. No more excessive blink nurses with no cooldown besides fatigue, no more "I can't get out of her reach/sight" scenarios all the time. The Nurse didn't really change, all that really changed was the addition of a short timer (which starts during fatigue) and improved/reworked addons. She didn't change, she still plays the same, you just can't spam blinks all over the map now and I love that from both perspectives.

And sure while people can argue she still is overpowered in a way, lets remember she is the slowest killer by max base speed (with and without addons), cannot instadown survivors with her ability, ensnare them in contraptions to draw out the time of a match, stalk to an gain upper advantages, mind game by standing still, make them sick so even Iron Will is useless, etc etc. The Nurse only gets the ability to phase from point A to point B regardless of solid objects except those blasted outer walls or outskirts of exit gates. And yeah, you can get stuck on objects and even go to the wrong elevation on some maps and areas depending on how the blink goes through sometimes but that's okay, it's bound to happen eventually. Nurse is a killer where survivors can always watch as you make a move and adjust accordingly and further trick you into perceiving the wrong direction they plan to move. When played wisely, or dumb luck occurs, the Nurse is a lethal killer.

TL;DR If the Nurse is 'harder' now, then either: (A) you have been abusing her previous old mechanics (which just have a cooldown timer now). (B) you have been working off of impulses for pursuits, all because waiting is too much to handle. or (C) you cannot fathom why she is preferred when other killers have various clear advantages in other areas.

That is very insightful. It's highly interesting to see the statistics

A nurse can indeed catch up with a surivior running in a straight line. All you have to do is wait for your blinks to be fully capable of using then just blink to them.

As for a surivior dodging, if you are a good nurse and put yourself in a certain position. There is no way of a surivior dodging your attack unless they have dead hard. Nurse is like playing check, the surivior is the king and you are trying to line yourself in the position where the king will die in any stand point he is in.

However, I do agree nurse isn't the most enjoy able killers(far from it), but to say this nerf is really bad for her. Is a major exaggeration considering nurse kept her power of always winning games. Problem is she is quite boring but if she gets buff we know that suriviors would complain and she will just get nerf again. So you must think to yourself, what do you expect from the nurse if she was to get a buff?

That is true, but if you don't mind me asking, what do you want from the old nurse that the new one doesn't have?

It is true if you don't wait you will never catch up(even if you did, 40 seconds of the chase would already be fine just for you to put the surivior in its injured state). I don't find it much of a big deal because it does result in patience. However, it is frustrating because you will be in that situation when you know you would have hit the surivior had the nerf not occurred. I been trying our the new nurse more to see what I felt with the new nurse compare to the old nurse in which made me want to dc at some points of the game. To say she is weak(is false),but unfun is definitely a thing with her.

The question is, how do people expect to fix the problem without the surivior mains fighting back?

I see

First off, the point was to explain the nerf on nurse, so I don't get the point of your first paragraph.

So you done your calculation, so why don't you calculate how long the chase would be if you land all your hits as Nurse. Also, you are saying it as if the nurse blinks can't catch up with the nurse which is untrue.

For what you said about the suriviors being unable to dodge the nurse doesn't make much sense to me. This is because if you are a good nurse you can put yourself in a position in which there is nothing the surivior can do to dodge. Also, that argument can be used as a way for suriviors to call the nurse a bad for missing there attack.

Nurse's power is too weak? Are we speaking about the nurse that can go through walls and ignore all defences that a surivior has? Capable of not only applying fast chase time, but also capable of applying map pressure?

The reason why people use Spirit is because she is a free, easy win without any challenge. Don't believe me you can just watch Scott jund who made a 2 hours video of him winning constantly as a spirit. He doesn't call himself a skilful nor main spirit which says alot.

The nurse I play as sometimes with what I seen of good nurse players are disgusting. To say she is unfun I can understand(but she wasn't really that fun in the first place without add on), but to say she can get bullied and is weak. Now you are just over exaggerating or haven't seen the nurse players I been against.
