I think something like @Mr_K 's rework idea would make her more fun to play again:

"What about if the cool down applied to blink attacks and the time were based on how many blinks you used during the chain?

This would apply to hits as well as missed swings in order to incentivize precise blinking and not blind swinging. As well it allows the Nurse to travel the map and continue chases. When the cool down is active the Nurse would be unable to blink again until it expires.

This would remove the counter on her power and the cool down would apply to her whole power instead. One blink plus a swing would be 3 seconds, two blinks 6 seconds and three blinks 9 seconds."

You guys are honestly still complaining... Nurse IS the best killer still, no other way around it. The cooldown isnt even that long, you just need to be more precise and careful with your blinks.

We're providing feedback and thoughts on how the base kit could be changed instead.

I was thinking about this but I doubt it would do much.
My guess is they're responding to it because Legion has been a huge mess for so long and it looks good to say "we'll send this over." Will these ever amount to real change? Maybe. Probably not.
With Nurse not only is it way more recent but also way less problematic in scale since she can still function (very poorly.) There just aren't enough people for them to care and it wasn't nearly the mess Legion was/has been so yeah, I'm prepared to do a long wait if it ever even happens at this point.

Another good suggestion. Too bad it'll be ignored :(

Yeah I'm with you

I've made the suggestion that the cool down be activated on swings, hit or miss, instead of blinking and the length would be determind by how many chain blinks you made for the hit.

I don't know how I could of put it any better than that. I don't believe they will revert the basekit changes. What I can hope for is a better implementation with the Devs goals in mind.
As she stands now, the cool down is breaking up chases and removing any excitement from them.

This would work and make her more fun again whilst still having her be "nerfed"

maybe we can format the feedback suggestion like this and pray?

Not sure why we're going back to discussing how the nurse was back when the game was released, most of this thread is about that the cooldowns that are being added to killers are making them unfun to play.

Especially for nurse who's having to deal with cooldowns plus fatigue making her add on dependent (and even with the add ons she's no fun)

in Here's our Daily Reminder that playing Nurse still feels miserable. Comment by Uxoricide December 6, 2019

Shouldn't the new rank reset help bring the base kit nurse back as new players won't run into experts as much anymore anyways?

I had no idea you were the ambassador for nurse mains, sorry. SO SORRY.

Apology accepted, you would've noticed the same thing if you read this thread, anyhow, how was the base kit abusive?

I could care less what you or any other survivor main thinks of me. You abused nurse for years and come here daily to ######### and whine about NECESSARY changes. Get over it.

@Usui please explain how the base kit nurse abused everyone (without lashing out if possible)

@Weederick
I tag both of you, i read this thread today.
Your observation is correct (@Mr_K about him starting to run later)
I basicly wanted to see how much this statement " running in a straight line is all you have to do against base nurse" holds true. I even made another video in which i used single blinks, with single blinks you will not catch up to the survivor like at all.
We basicly decided to use whispers to have a marker for 32m, nothing to difficult. I thought okay uhm if this running in a straight line is actually valid counterplay, as soon as you see nurse blinking towards you, you start doing the counter -> running. So on both maps we made several runs, the first on each map is when the survivor starts running as he sees the nurse blinking towards him from 32m which ofc can be more at times.
The 2nd run on each map was with the intention of as soon as you see me move, run not just when i start blinking. The survivor on thompson house did start later as he had trouble watching his back 😀 however you can see on 2nd try with ace that he gets much further away.
The thing is there is rarely such a huge deadzone so you will usually have LoS-Breakers at some point. Running away is actually very valid. Why? Because nurse mains have it in their memory to when there is LoS breaker, they blink to the obstacle due to the survivor tryin to bait them into cutting them off. Now you simply run to that adjust the angle and keep running, the nurse will most likely not blink max distance and stop at the corner of whatever it is so she will not be able to catch up as much (cd;fatigue stays the same whether you blink 1m or 20).
Just a straight line is 3x2 blinks, you mentioned execution errors, explain them to me and i can make other runs. When you now exactly when you have to juke it is just way easier to do this like run left and as you see run other direction. Biggest problem i see is there is no real payoff to play nurse, i mean why bother when you can do the same on other killers. Not literally the same but all other killers are not as punishing.
You keep forgetting that there are no exhaustion perks used, no bl, no dh, no sb or lithe with this you will extend the chase again by quite a big amount. Honestly it is way too effective for how braindead easy it is to run in a straight line. This has nothing to do with skill.

Nice one @Endstille ! Should we tag one of the devs on it? @coppersly @OmegaXII @Mr_K

Yeah i know its the same on pc time wise, like the stun and staring at the ground then waiting for charges. But i think if your realllly good with nurse you could probably still get away with winning yanno?
On console you literally cant win unless they all run at you if you loose someone for a second in most maps because of the bad frames and unable to see scratches very well especiallllly in grass. They just dont exist in grass. You will loose them every single time. Plus the fact you cant look around as well as you can on pc. Its much harder to blink up and down between floors for some reason i have no idea why. (Ive played both for some reason sometimes blinking up on console just flat out does nothing)
On pc i feel like she can still be useable at least. Especially maybe rank 20 to rank 10 at least. On console you cant at all. With all the issues console has at the moment with how every action causes lag spikes and 1 frame a second etc. Its just impossible to play her. The auto aim also feels much stronger pulled me to a survivor off my screen when i aimed to the side to the person unhooking and it swung right and hit the hooked guy. Who wasnt even on my screen with how hard i tried to force a swing to the left. Hits dont connect despite going right through the survivor. Auto aimed to trees ans walls when trying to swing around them. This part is in general for all killers though. And i know it happens on pc too but from my games ive noticed it much more on console.
Console needs to have similar stuff as pc sensitivity, quality options wise, so we can actually see scratch marks, stable frames etc survivor side is just the same as pc survivors but killers on console is just not fun at all with extra disadvantages than what pc has. Making nurse useless. Yet i could probably play her pc for a good few ranks and be completely fine.

Yeah I'm talking about the fun aspect of playing her being gone, I can still 4k with her without add ons but she's not fun to play so I play survivor or other killers instead which sucks since I mained her...

I like her add on changes but on console the stun plus waiting for the blinks to charge is too much time wasted its literally insanely hard to have any fun with her unless the survivors are realllly bad and i mean REALLY bad :/

Same on PC, imagine if you blink 10 times one game, and you usually blink more than that, that's 1 min of staring at the ground etc...

Because thats my opinion. Lets just agree to disagree
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/883251#Comment_883251
Statistics dont represent balance. I've played other games pretty intensively, like Dota 2. And my strongest heroes were the ones with low winrates. Shadowfiend, Invoker, Storm, Templar Assassin, Brewmaster. They werent weak because they had low winrates, tehy were just trickier to use and need more commitment to get rolling and i see the same thing in nurse/huntress.
Also 2016 killrate was over 60% and my god, were survivors op. Killers op because 60% killrate? No

"But they all say that Nurse is still the strongest. Every sane killermain will tell you that." then when met by proof from streamers and actual killer mains that she's not "Because thats my opinion. Lets just agree to disagree"...

Ok then...
