Is the nurse really OP?

This is at rank 1. 2 things, how inept the nurse can be, the speed of gens popping.

    She is OP indeed, that was just a bad player playing as nurse on console. To master her on console is not easy.

    console shes easy to dodge. not to mention the nurse has a ton of crap she cant blink through dead zones. even on pc which hinders her. and yeah due to the new perk changes toolboxes etc enabling survivors to do gens quicker. the games become a joke more survivor favoured plus low console fps its even worse for killers id say lol. killers need to be feared but the devs are making this game more of a clown fest honestly. shes only op if in the hands of a good player. other than that no. too many things go against her.

    So really, it's more about the skill of the plsyer than the character

    I don't get to play with the nurse often, but I don't consider her anymore difficult than any other killer. She has some very clear weaknesses! 

    As for the gens, 2 of them got done quickly, even with ruin active. Yes, I do sometimes think that the Devs side with the survivors too much, as there's no way it's balanced to have games end in under 5 minutes (honestly, what is the likelyhood of a killer ending a game within 5 mins?), when only 3 players are doing gens without boxes and ruin.

    A survivor has little chances to survive against a good nurse, even if it's a good survivor. Especially when she's running a certain build which i'm not gonna mention.

    Again, I don't find her anymore difficult than any other killer and as you can see from that video, I am hardly a great survivor myself. I will admit, I have to play differently, but so I should v a killer that can float through most objects. I think, all the OP nurse hype, is from survivors that can only drop pallets, loop (I am aware I looped this player) and window jump.

    Face a good nurse first and then come back to tell me how it went. That nurse from your video was pretty bad.
    Looping is not the way you gotta counter the nurse, but in that case it worked because she was being used as a normal killer.
  • weirdkid5 weirdkid5

    No she's not

  • gamerscrybecauseofme gamerscrybecauseofme
    Loop around a "deadzone" I just showed 2 in that video. I agree, looping is mostly a bad idea v nurse outside of deadzone. For the same reason you won't mention a certain build, I won't mention other ways to make the nurse look like the subordinate hospital staff member she is (;

    Yes she is, she ignores everything survivors can use as defense.

    ok. Let me just show you an example of my Nurse. This was a long time ago and at rank 13 but it was still somewhat recent and relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYcrux-ONIg&t=
    Why she's OP as hell. I might record a video of me playing Nurse at rank 6 (my current rank, I haven't had a lot of time to play) if you want.

    Never had a problem with Nurse even at Rank 1.

    You can't convince me she's OP. Only that you have no idea how to deal with her

  • DemonDaddy DemonDaddy
    Find her a lot easier to face then many of the other killers. It's all about timing your change in Direction and escaping her field of you while stunned. Tight clusters of small objects work much better than the large loops.

    Lucky she is learning.

    I'm curious in that build.
    What build can make her more op ? LOL

    Can you play and record her with and without AddOns? The Omega blink nurse combo is worth to talk about, but I think when balancing Nurse comparing her without addons is important as well.

    Green and yellow addon, not gonna say anything else.
    It's a pretty well known build tbh.

    It would be better to see how you fair against players that are less noobish around the nurse

    I see.
    I was thinking about perks.

    She's really not. The problem is that she requires completely different tactics compared to the other Killers, so people just aren't used to doing what is necessary to counter her.

  • HellDescent HellDescent

    1 This nurse is pretty bad to say the least
    2 It's a console Nurse - pretty self-explanatory.

  • xXNurseXx xXNurseXx

    daily the same discussion about nurse

    yes she is op if youre good with her but no she wont get nerfed because bad nurse players also need a chance to play with her.

    so sorry survivors but you need to accept that you will die when facing a nurse

  • Kebek Kebek

    With addons she is, without any addons she isn't. Main change she should get balance wise is only to change her addons to prevent her to have more then 2 blinks (maybe ultra rare for 3 blinks).

    Issue is that there are more very skilled nurses then there are very skilled 4 man randoms survivors teams. What makes nurse so good is that unless survivors know to use different pathing and mindgames, she dominates. And since looping is meta why should our poor survivors try to learn how to play correctly against her. Shealth also hurths her a lot but survivors never care if they are spotted or not so that's on them too.

    So yes is is very strong and has little to no counterplay when beiing close to her but no she isn't OP overall. If anything she is extremly fun to play against for some people like me (since I love the mindgaming potecial there is for a chase).
