Can we get a rework of Nurse's rework
So Nurse, as pretty much everyone knows, got "reworked" a while back to give her a cooldown on blinking where she has to recharge her blinks over time. I get what the devs were trying to do, which is to make her less powerful as she basically counters any survivors means of defense. But honestly it's poorly executed.
Running straight is now an easy counter to Nurse, not to mention that her counter of breaking LoS has become easier because of it. Survivors that are good also know how to properly juke a Nurse, which is only made easier by the fact that they can see where Nurse is blinking slightly before she blinks to that location. She either has addons that she is too reliant on or addons that basically serve her no purpose. She's the only killer with 2 addons that weaken her power just to grant her more BP that isn't even considered an after match bonus (so basically pointless if you can land good blink hits anyways).
I've been seeing a lot recently that players are not happy with her current state. She is overly hard to learn as is for some players. Her power is a bit bugged or has times where it does not function properly. While she still can be the deadlist killer on the roster, some could argue that her difficulty removes her from S tier for most players.
She needs some kind of adjustment/rework to her power & addons. Currently, she is too difficult & boring which is why her pick rate is so low. Her former self does not have to be restored, but she honestly needs an overhaul at this point because the majority of players do not like playing as her.
Comments
It's impossible to have a constructive conversation about Nurse. Apparently, the only people who have valid opinions are those who never play her, and the last people we should be listening to are the actual Nurse players. It's so frustrating.
She's the best killer in the game? Cool. Why doesn't anyone use her? It's genius really. The community has actually created a pyramid scheme of a killer in their minds. There are god Nurse players out there, surely, but nobody can seem to find one.
If anyone wants an honest take from someone who still plays her every day at rank 1, here it is: She's top tier, but equal to Spirit/Billy/Freddy. You're not going to have any better shot with her against top level survivors who truly know how to play against her than you would if you were equally good with Billy. But that's also map dependent, which for some reason people don't think matters at all for Nurse.
You're going to have to guess a lot with good survivors. There's an rng element to Nurse that isn't there with the other top tier killers whose counterplay doesn't revolve entirely around distance and LOS breaks. Throw 4 dead hards in and you're done. The cooldown introduced an element of inefficiency to her which makes it hard to keep up with objective efficient survivors.
Obviously, four W gamers are still going to get wrecked. Which is why adding a cooldown was flawed in the first place. It only helped the survivors who already knew the counterplay begin with. They never needed a cooldown to juke her and giving them one now means only super experienced Nurses stand a chance against 4 good survivors. The skill curve is arguably too steep now.
ANY killer can do that. Especially Billys. It depends on how boosted the survivors are. Yes even in the case of Nurse.
since the rework, i haven't lost to a nurse unless it was because I was playing like an idiot like healing at the exit gates; anyone can be OP if they end the game in a minute, I once did that WITH CLOWN; in conclusion Clown is as OP as Nurse
probably not as good as you think you are.
This just reminds me of the legion rework. Except that you need skill to play now while m1ing but the power in itself just got destroyed. Just limitations over limitations, i feel your pain.
Well, the cooldown is a straight nerf as her blinks/min determine both her map pressure and chase potential. Afterall, she gotta "spam" blinks for basic movement.
(For nurse, adding/increased cooldown is comparable to forcing survivors to crouch for 2 second for every 20m they run. Lol)
For nurse to turn visible before she can attack already increased her counterplay.
And you likely dont olsy her at all
