The Dbd Community: Nurse needs a rework | The Devs: We are nerfing her but buffing her
Okay the special attack change is a really good start. Now the exposed perks don't work.
Well that is where the praise stops.
What the hell is the Team Smoking?!?!
Since months the community shows in different ways how broken this killer is and instead of reworking her so she doesn't ignore the game rules anymore she get's one Nerf and multiple buffs?!?!
Her third blink addon which was actually balanced with the mechanic that you can't teleport trough walls anymore is now just "You have to wait a tiny bit longer for your power to recharge"
Her addon that removes one blink and makes her faster got also buffed and makes her now as fast as huntress.
She has a addon now that increases her swing lunch. Yeah sure, remove the one thing that people actually had to train the muscle memory with her, what can go wrong right?!?!?!
And don't get ne started with the addon that gives her a second full blink...who ever had this idea in the first place should get fired

Is this how you cope ?
Very nice and very constructive. Just a few issues.... /s
1. They buffed 3 blink ages ago. It was just always combined with recharge, which is now gone. Since recharge is nonexistent, the add-on was adjusted so that it's the same as it + recharge before. Nothing really changed.
2. The add-on makes her 110% now, true, but also capped your blinks at 1, meaning you can no longer use the other Iri to have 2 blinks AND faster movement speed.
3. The add-on extends the lunge by 30%. A lunge lasts 0.5 seconds. The Lunge is now 0.65 seconds long. It's just BARELY longer than a T3 Myers lunge. It's an asset but hardly game changing, combined with that fact her lunge speed is still slower than a default lunge.
Thanks.
Regarding the matchbox, I would add that the fact that the nurse has only one blink left makes her very easily avoidable, when she blinks at a long distance, since she can't adjust her shot with the second blink.
All killers use the same lunge speed curve. Including Nurse's Blink lunge.
Wrong.
Nurse Blinks are special. You see, all killers during a lunge have their movement speed set to 4.6. So their lunge modifier is calculated as 4.6x1.5 for a speed of 6.9m/s, meaning they all have the same range.
Nurse's blinks do NOT follow these rules. They keep her slower speed of 3.85 for a calculation of 3.85x1.6 for a speed of 6.16m/s, meaning she has a shorter range than is standard.
DH, same energy.
You seem to mistake your opinions for the entire dbd community.
All lunges were normalized many patches ago. As long as you move forward for a fraction of a second, you will get a full lunge.
Nurse did at one point have a special lunge which you would always perform a fully animated lunge attack. Same time she had auto aim.
Yes. I know. Nurse post blink lunges are an exception. They do not have the same range as a normal lunge.
The wiki, which is where I assume you got this information of the standardization, also lists her post blink lunge as having its own unique formula and that it has a reduced lunge range than is standard.
Her lunge WAS adjusted way back so that she could curve around obstacles like any other killer, rather than going straight and with auto aim.
Meh.
The really oppressive Nurses was tri-blink and/or Starstruck.
The goal wasn't to Freddy the Nurse. The goal was...basically Dead Hard her. Reign her in a touch, but keep her good.
Also...swing lunch?
My information comes from listening to the Devs. But if you want to use the wiki as a source:
Prior to Patch 1.9.0, The Nurse had the shortest Lunge range compared to the other Killers.
Now she has the same range as a Killer moving at the default speed.
I fell like you are living behind the rock. Torn Bookmark allowed you to blink through walls a while ago. They just reduced the increased recharge time. I still don't think that we will face a lot of Nurses with this addon. For me and many other Nurse players the downsides are simply not worth it.
The one Blink Nurse is still the one blink Nurse. Nurse is better of with both of her blinks.
The increased lunge addon is a good addon for beginners. Just like the recharge addons used to be before they got removed. Makes her less punishing and good Nurse players won't use this addon because they already have a different muscle memory for her lunges. Recharge also screwed with muscle memory and yet they was my recommended addons for beginners so why not?
With Campbells Last Breath I actually agree. It was fine before so no idea why they changed it that way.
The Nurse changes were a nerf. Also addons are not a factor in buffing/nerfing a killer. It's their base power. The addons are an issue in itself. That's like saying "Myers op he can kill survivors instantly". No that's an addon.
I will admit, you have me double checking and doubting myself, as I'm hearing conflicting accounts now. Until I get confirmation from I source I can't doubt, I'll take anything concerning her lunge with a grain of salt.
But as for the original point concerning the add-on, it's still extremely similar to Myers' T3 lunge. It's impactful but not a gamechanger.
