Why is the Nurse still this Overpowered?

Jonny

The Nurse was the first DLC killer brought into the game. This killer has been in this game for years now, and the Nurse is still blatantly overpowered and absolutely no fun to play against. I don't even play Nurse that much, but when I do I get an easy 4k every single time. It's stupid easy.

I mean, I disconnect whenever it's a Nurse. But I still find it idiotic that the devs still haven't addressed this.

The_Crusader said. Sure you can argue about how you can try to break line of sight with the Nurse but still you're relying on the killer to make a mistake, and if they'r good at tracking and have brought tracking perks then it makes little difference.

Nurse on the other hand crosses the map in seconds and can down a survivor in like 5 seconds, she's also hands down the best slugger in the game.

When you go against a Nurse you're just relying on the killer to make mistakes. if they don't then you're screwed. I'll take Legion over Nurse anyday.

The worst part about Nurse is that if she's good your team will be slugged within minutes, if it's a bad nurse then when they finally get someone down they'll just camp them all game. Such an awful character. People cry Legion is broken yadda yadda yadda and yet Nurse still tops tier lists....wonder what that says about her.

Nurse hates flashlights it sends her directly into fatigue if shined in her face as she charges only her and wraith can be lightburned.

They nerfed the lightburn from wraith you have to be complete trash to be light burned by a survivor

Nurse is not op-.You just need a different playstyle facing her. She is actually one of the most fun killer to face against,considering how much of a game changer she is to chases.
Only her AddOns require a total rework at some point.

Being a nurse main killer, not a killer main, I have tons of fun playing against her. I hear that first teleport in game and get excited "This is going to be fun" best way to learn how to play against a killer is to play that killer in my opinion.

And if I get my butt handed too me . . "OMFG . . that was fun" seriously.

Then explain why survivors are still overpowerd against 90% of the killers in the game?

There are just 3 things you need to know when facing nurse: Lightburn, Timing, and Head tilts. 

Lightburn: That's right, flashlights can stun the Nurse, all you have to do is just shoot her in the torso with light as she's charging a blink and then she's stunned. With how much survivors complain about excess flashlights I think you can risk a few to practice this.

Timing and Head tilts. The nurse cannot cancel blinks once they're charged. If a nurse charges a blink for 4+ seconds you can charge at then as they blink and usually they'll go straight past you. You can use this to waste time or juke her entirely. The key thing is the nurse's head though. While she cannot cancel a blink on most maps nurses will look straight down to turn a long distance blink into a 1/3 meter blink. If you run towards a nurse and she bows, turn around!

TL:DR
Use flashlights to stun her while she charges blink. Charge at her after 4+ sec of charge. If she looks straight down when you charge run away.

I wish I had that excess flashlight problem

If survivors spend even half as much time learning how to play against her, as nurse players do spend learning how to play her. 
Then they wouldn't even consider her op.

Instead they disconnect because they don't want a challenge. 

Those very same survivors usually complain that killers lobby dodge and don't want a challenge against a fully decked 4 man swf. 

Ironic 

You would complain about lobby dodge if you were on console too but I don't think I would wish it upon anyone with a PC to test it out on console I've seen the difference it's absolutely trash in comparison, I've been looking into getting a gaming PC but I honestly don't even know what to look for on capabilities for running smoothly

Nope, I wouldn't. 
Cause and effect. 
If killers lobby dodge all the time, then there's a reason behind it.

Nurse is obviously overpowered because it is HER skill that determines the duration of a chase compared to every other killer, for whom it's the survivor's sick l00ping skills which determines the chase.

"You have to be good to play her"

You can get the hang of her skill in less than five games.

"She's meant to get survivors to stop using exploits."

Looping windows and pallets is the only thing survivors really have that can help them not instantly get downed.

"You have to know how to counterplay her"

What counterplay is there against nurse? She can teleport through walls, ignoring windows, pallets, loops, and pretty much anything else the survivor can use. You can say "just juke her" even though it doesn't matter because she'll recover from the fatigue and teleport to you in another two seconds.

"She should be brought back to her original state, with three blinks and 115% movement speed."

Not even going to say anything about this.
