Its a false narrative that nurse is so hard to play. Its true, that if you never play nurse and you try her, you will have a very frustrating experience. But if you play her with a learning mindset as a beginner, only trying to get a grasp of her power, you will not take many games at all to get decent.
Other killers you have to run very tight lines, mindgames, moonwalk, make decision (do i continue chase, switch target/splitpressure), etc. , usually if you have only one bad chase, its game over.
Nurse is so powerful, with the starstruck meta even more so, you always have a realistic chance for the slug, you can screw up blinks, you can "proxy camp" a hook from like half the map (with range addons).
She is ridiculous op in comparison to other killers. I think, if they nerf her strongest addons, she may be in a good place.
The main problem with her (and blight is) they both have incredible strong chase power and map pressure /mobility (with her range addons). Thats all a killer needs : end chases quick and traverse the map quick. No killer should excel in both aspects at the same time, or at least not with some clear drawback (for example like oni, he has to charge for his power)

I played both a lot of killer and survivor. Why played ? Killer queues are so long, i don't bother to queue up anymore.
Survivor soloq is as bad as it can bad. At the last patch my patience was running towards an end, getting a lot of try hard nurses and blights (using strongest addons, throwing favorable map offerings etc), now its just ridiculous.
For example if you had the favor of facing a sweating nurse in the old patch (with range addons, map offerings, starstruck, ..) tunneling, camping hook stages, it was to the point of beeing unwinnable in soloq if the nurse was decent.
In the current patch its just a joke. A tryhard nurse/blight on a strong map with strong addons will obliterate a decent soloq survivor team.
Like seriously, its a joke.
In the last patches it was the killer that was miserable (unless he played a strong one) most of the time. Yea thats not good.
But at least that was 1 person per match having to experience misery.
Now its 4 survivors getting completly steamrolled in a lot of games while some killer players can experience their power fantasy.
I wonder what goes on in peoples heads that play blight/nurse with map offering (strong addons) that tunnel and camp hook stages etc.
Its like bullying a little kid that has no chance to retaliate in the first place.
Behavior has done a really good job, no ..... in all seriousness, i appreciate their attempt to shift the meta, in which they succeeded.
But mistakes from the past now come back to haunt them: some maps have horrible design balance wise (map size, amount of strong tiles/pallets etc), some killers like blight/nurse needed a rework (at least a tone down of their strongest addons) for a long time, to bring all the cast somewhat in line.

The problem for me as a player (killer and survivor) is not if i 4k or escape, but how the game goes.
For example, if i play killer, i get some interesting chases (with mindgames at a tiles) and i get some hooks, it can be a very enjoyable experience for me, even with 0 kills.
Or as a survivor, if i get into a interesting chases with the killer, the game is fun even if i die.
What bothers me however is the feeling of all odds are stacked against you, that the end result is pretty much predetermined at the start of a match. For example i play survivor, i see a mc millan/autohaven offering and then the match starts and i see its a blight/nurse.... waste of time to play the game ...
Or as killer, i play billy and i get coldwind farm, or rpd ... its pure misery. Like why should i have to put up with that.
As survivor lately, the amount of try hard nurses i face makes me question if i play some kind of tournament game. They throw map offerings, use strongest addons, tunnel, camp hook stages etc.
In my opinion the problem is not about escaping or killing, balance wise there are outliers that are so far off the charts (blight and nurse need a tone down) and some maps need to be rebalanced.

There were and are still many ridiculous (balance wise) things in the game. For example tombstone fragment myers .... but why does no one complain about it ? Because you do not run into a (sweaty) tombstone fragment myers on a regular basis (barely ever).
Nurse on the other hand gets more popular at the day, i feel like she is by far the most popular killer right now.
Yesterday and today i grinded some games (to make some chars prestige 1 before the patch), i played like 30 games in total over two days, roughly 50% were against nurses). Its getting completly out of hand, But i learned something new, i face some nurses that threw midwitch offering (instead of the usual autohave and mc millan) oh boy, i didnt know how bad midwitch can be against a sweaty nurse....
Its getting completly out of hand...

The only thing that is more annoying than recurring threads about the same topic, are threads like these, that complain about them, without contributing anything.
If you don't like people discussing certain things, then don't participate in the discurse.
About the topic: Nurse is the new spirit: Who knows the exact reason, maybe its because killers had a very hard time the last patches or whatever, a lot of killers learned to play nurse at the decent level. She is the most picked Killer i usually face when i play surivor and its usually the same setup: Range addons, autohaven/mc millan map offering, starstruck, some vision perks. I can see that most nurses i play are not perfect players (they make most ports only with vision = walking nurses) yet they still have a easy time to destroy the average soloq team with ease.
Why did i say nurse is the new spirit ? It seems that people that wanted a easy 4k that picked spirit with op addons before the nerf have now switched to nurse. When i hear her voice after a blink at the start of the match i instantly want to dc (no fun to play so many try hard op kill, especially when you have a casual loadout). After the next patch, when deadhard is nerfed, nurse will be even stronger...
In my opinion her basekit can stay the same, she needs a addon rework (by rework i mean her addons need the billy treatment = making most of them useless)
