Nurse change suggestion

I don't think nurse's abilities or kit should be changed. However, she is a strong killer in the right hands to the point of being oppressive. Therefore a few changes that can be made without changing the playstyle and overall feel of the killer would include.

  1. All attacks made after a blink are considered special attacks. These attacks neither benefit from status effects like Exposed or apply effects like Hemorrhage, Mangled, Blindness etc.
  2. Her aura reading only applies to her terror radius. Additionally, she should have an effect similar to Object of Obsession so that whenever she can see a survivor's aura, they can see hers as well.

Even with these changes she will still be a top tier killer but they will reduce her overall power level and capacity to easily snowball game. Further, these changes won't impact her overall kit or fundamentally change her playstyle. Additionally, design space for perks that would have before been too powerful on nurse and not other killers will be available. Perks in the past have undergone changes/nerfs specifically because of nurse so in a sense the nurse's existence is passively lowering the power level of all other killers.

Just a reminder, the nurse violates the normal rules of gameplay and no other killer violates the game's core chase mechanics in the way she does. So why should the normal rules of status effects and aura reading apply to her in the same way?

    So BBQ just does not work on her anymore since it is outside of her terror radius and therefore does not apply anymore? That sounds a bit weird?
