Nurse on console+ controller sensitivity

If the devs ever increase The sens on console do you think she’d be any better then now? Or do you think a controller restricts her to much? I’ve gone on and off of nurse for close to a year now and she is very frustrating to play especially with the new changes to her

    I think she's screwed on console until her blink stun is as short as it is on pc and the framerate drops during blink aren't a factor. The inability to use keyboard and mouse on this game (no reason not to have it as an option on console) isn't nearly as big a factor.

    She'll never be a good killer on console. To get a feeling for the importance of console to the devs you can look at the recent oni changes.

    What do you mean blink stun as short as it is on pc?

    She was not terrible back before the rework in fact you could get really good with her and get amazing games with her. While she was not the oppressive queen she was on PC. Nowadays she's not worth investing time into on console besides trying to get 100% with her trophies. While she may be more fun for survivors and some new killers the simple fact is Nurse is a chore to play nowadays.

    Not being fun to play is a huge factor in her new kit. Slower base speed paired with the recharge speed means if a survivor can dodge the first hit they can literally run in a straight line and the killer can't catch them. A STRAIGHT LINE <------ I have yet to see another killer with a handicap that big except Legion themselves.

    in this thread @Almo confirmed Nurse was worse then Legion. Let that sink in for a moment.

    Hi!

    We've got enough data since the Oni release to make some comments on Legion's performance after the speed update.

    For all platforms, all maps and all ranks, from Nov 2 2019 to Dec 2 2019, the Legion's average killrate was 61.99%, ranking him 12/16 in killrate. For reference, Nurse is at the bottom with 43.9% and The Nightmare is at the top with 70.83%.

    In the same period but just looking at ranks 1-4, Legion is ranked 13/16 for kill rate. It's still Nurse at the bottom and Nightmare at the top.

    If I switch to all platforms, all maps and all ranks from Dec 3 to Dec 19 (The Oni released on Dec 3), Legion's killrate is 62.5%, but that ranks them at 10/17 for killrate.

    Just looking at ranks 1-4, the killrate is 71.2%, ranked at 12/17.

    These are not massive changes, but they are noticable in a statistical sense given the sample size in terms of number of games played. We can conclude that the Deep Wound change (running stops the timer instead of TR) combined with the speed change (restored vault speeds and 5.0 m/s -> 5.2 m/s Frenzy run speed) were a net buff to Legion, both in terms of raw kill efficiency and in relation to the other Killers.

    Anyone who tells you she is fine currently. Either has yet to truly experiment with her, Runs exclusively 2 addons for recharge rate, or has yet to play against average to above average Survivors who knew how to play against Nurse before the rework.

    EDIT: Also while they intended to rework addons most of them are a joke. Meme Addons, BP addons that make you worse, and her teachables as addons.

    TLDR: Don't waste your time with current Nurse shes a chore to play.

    The only people who have fun with current Nurse right now, are people who already were good with her pre-rework. Mistakes get punished to a level, where she is simply not fun for a new player.

    Look up some side by side footage...her 'blackout' after first blink is a literal half second longer on ps4 than pc. It doesn't sound like much but it's enough for halfway decent survivors to stay out of site after first blink.

    Frame rate hurts her way more than sensitivity. I have no issues turning fast to hit survivors, the problem is that you can barely tell what's going on around you as you blink because the frame rate drops.

    If the game ran at a smooth 60fps at all times, you would see more top tier Nurse players on console guaranteed.
