One thing that bothers me when facing Nurse

First match of the night hoping to have a little enjoy what do I got a Level 100 Nurse with Infectious fright slugging at five gens and refusing to pick up instead letting us bleed out on the ground. I'm sorry but...why I don't like Nurse to begin with mainly for her hit detection being really wonky but if I realize she has Infectious I'm going to just put down the control and probably wait to bleed out. It's not fun I get my fun isn't their priority but seriously how can they have slugging survivors at five gens what's funnier is I barely even got close to a gen before she downed me. I know that their are good Nurse mains ones that play at least a bit fairly mainly not slugging everyone instead using her ability for easy catch ups and quick movement around the map but then they get mixed in with the Nurse mains that just slug every match. I think Nurse fall under what Bubba faces where their stereotype has been so much everyone assumes it's going to happen when facing them.

  • I mean sure, but slugging people until they bleed out is not really a nurse problem :/ I usually just tab out and do sth else in the meantime, so it doesn't really bother me, he is sitting there watching me and I'm watching some YouTube video or something, I think I have more fun than that guy so that's fine by me.

  • I tried this the other night just to see what it was like, and I felt so dirty. I played three games and 4k-ed each one before more than two gens were even touched, let alone completed.

    I played with no add-ons and I'm really not even a good Nurse. I know this is anecdotal evidence, but like... if I can win at 5 gens with her, a good Nurse may as well just be handed the W before she even loads in.

    Seems like a matchmaking problem and not necessarily a nurse problem. Because good survivors give mediocre Nurses a run for the money.

    Could definitely be the case. I don't play her often so I'm sure my MMR for her is comparatively low.

    This, that p100 nurse shouldve never been matched with them. It honestly sounds like they probably got their teeth kicked in and took it out on those guys which isn't uncommon. A medicore nurse will get cooked most times by survivors that know how to play against her. Basically you max out efficiency on gens against nurse, try as hard as possible to not group up ever. DBD matchmaking is such crap, a p72 nurse (don't judge I run her perkless and no addons lol) if I load in and notice the team has no experience at dealing with nurse I'll purposely throw the game to try and show them some things to do and not to do.

    They said that MMR doesn't fluctuate between killers but from my personal experience it does l, i get way more p100 on my nurse than I do on my Freddy

    "I mean sure, but slugging people until they bleed out is not really a nurse problem"

    Her power allows her to ignore loops and also slug more efficiently meaning that your only option against her is holding W to avoid joining to the slug fest or try to do insane LOS tricks and calling that a counterplay because there is no other way to survive against her if shes playing like that. (because BHVR refuses to rework/nerf her power even when she keeps being S tier after so many years)

    -no reliable counterplay + slugging + small map + infectious in on play + teammates not having UB = the worst match ever

    any good nurse knows that slugging as her is really easier when bringing infectious to the point where is just unfair to the other side.

    My man she has reliable counterplay in the line of sight blocking. But if you mean by "reliable" do x and she can't get you then ofc not, but that is also quite terrible design for a killer if it is just a simple action that always works. It is similar to how really good survivors play against m1 killers, with leaving the loop, doubling back, walk to not leave scratch marks and get out of sight and so on, all those things can work, but they don't necessarily work every single time, just like Nurses counterplay does not work every single time. If you watch really good players playing against nurse you will see that they do not only hold w...

    As for the worst match ever part, I like going against Nurse, and even if it was some comp player demolishing me it is still more fun than 1 h of skull merchant... At least matches against good nurses dont take long, and mediocre ones can be looped so it is kind of ok.
