The myth that Nurse holds back perks

Imagine unironically thinking this after:

  1. Buffs to:
    1. Coulrophobia (faster skillcheck speed)
    2. Dead Man’s Switch (removing Obsession condition)
    3. Discordance (range/linger)
    4. Eruption (regression and Incapacitated duration)
    5. Gearhead (one less hit needed)
    6. Retribution (longer aura)
    7. Surge/Jolt (cooldown removed)
    8. Knockout (recovery speed slowdown)
    9. Lethal Pursuer (secondary effect of lengthening aura reads)
    10. Lightborn (trying to blind or Lightburn = aura read)
    11. No Way Out (longer duration)
    12. Overcharge (max slowdown effect)
    13. Gift of Pain (slowdown)
    14. Monstrous Shrine (more scourges, helps basement hooks more, reduces hook to 50s if outside for entire time)
    15. Sloppy Butcher/Hemorrhage effect (healing regression on interrupted)
    16. Thanatophobia (slowdown)
    17. Tinkerer (80->70%, longer Undetectable)
  2. Releasing:
    1. Insanely good perks on her:
      1. Barbecue & Chili
      2. Call of Brine
      3. Corrupt Intervention
      4. Deadlock
      5. Eruption
      6. Pentimento
      7. Ruin (pre-nerf)
      8. Undying
      9. Infectious Fright
      10. Lethal Pursuer
      11. Make Your Choice
      12. No Way Out
      13. Pop Goes the Weasel (pre-nerf)
      14. Floods of Rage
      15. Pain Resonance
      16. Starstruck
    2. Great perks on her:
      1. Darkness Revealed
      2. Discordance
      3. Grim Embrace
      4. Devour Hope
      5. Haunted Grounds
      6. Plaything
      7. Retribution
      8. Surge/Jolt (pre-buff)
      9. Terminus
    3. Decent or okayish perks on her:
      1. Blood Warden
      2. Coulrophobia (pre-buff)
      3. Coup de Grâce
      4. Dark Devotion
      5. Dead Man’s Switch (pre-buff)
      6. Deathbound
      7. Dragon’s Grip
      8. Gearhead (pre-buff)
      9. Hysteria
      10. I’m All Ears
      11. Merciless Storm
      12. Rancor
      13. Surveillance
      14. Thrilling Tremors
      15. Trail of Torment

LMAO.

Before someone brings up Awakened Awareness’ recent nerf, pre-nerf AA was awful, even for Nurse, and the nerf made no sense. 3/3.5s fatigue/2.7s cooldown + 3s pickup = 24/26/22.8m a Survivor starting literally right beside the Killer can run away before the pickup even finishes. As in, out of the 20m. (3 is 1 blink hit, 3.5 is 2 blink hit, 2.7 is M1 default)

  • What myth is there to debunk? They literally said they nerfed it because it was “Too oppressive on certain killers when used with LP and SS”

    Now who is the only killer to consistently use both SS and LP in most matches? It’s clear they nerfed it because nurse made it too strong and it’s also clear that nurse holding back potentially strong and balanced perks from being released due to her design

    Look I understand you like nurse but can we at least be realistic here?

  • Nurse doesn't just hold back perk design.

    She also holds back map design.

  • Myth? Its a fact.

    I’d love to hear your explanation for the 17 perks buffed and 40 perks released. All of which are okay, great, or insane on her. Without ever changing her or making any statement that she needs or will be changed.

    Those same perks r insane on blight to (:

    I don’t know why people are acting like BHVR making a decision means it was a good decision lmao. AA was literally awful because a killer can never ever get it off if the survivor just leaves after someone goes down even if they started right beside the killer.

    You need to read that first sentence you wrote again and again and again. Once you've internalized it you'll find your answer.

    The devs are not infallible. They make many mistakes (so many).

    That is why they changed all those perks and still haven't nerfed nurse in any meaningful way.

    I look forward to the day the devs decide to get it right and nerf nurse. I wonder, will you still play killer without the extreme advantage nurse gives?

  • It's just crazy how can this person go so far defending his precious OP Toy even when he's wrong...

    my dude it's not a myth it's a fact don't care if you cry about it just accept that your overpowered little toy holds back some perks from being good/viable on others killers we literally have proof right here with AA nerf.

    don't worry you'll still be able to 4k and slug at 5 gens against solos survivors BHVR will never nerf this killer they will just nerf perks instead.

    We get it you LOVE Nurse but please let's be a little realistic here.

  • It literally does not matter how many perks there are that are good for Nurse. It does not change the fact that AA was nerfed due to it being considered too strong on "certain killers" when combined w/ Starstruck and Lethal. What other killer do you really think they are referring to?

    Blight's lethal rush attack does not benefit from Exposed, and Spirit cannot see auras while phasing or while charging a phase.
