Does anyone just accept fate in soloqueue when they hear Nurse.

Every time, I hear nurse I know we're all going to die.
From all the soloque matches I play, I absolute know we're not going to make it. Of course I won't just throw the match but don't expect miracles when your against a decent nurse. It's usually a complete wipe out for soloque.
I'm not saying Nurse needs changing, I'm just saying she's from a completely different time of DBD and the devs are in a weird position when it comes to her. You nerf her and she's really bad for newer players but if you tweak her she's basically fundamentally the same unless her blinks are gone.
Edit: Okay so here's my last 10 known games with Nurses.
5/10 times it was a complete wipe out. 1-3 gens were done but team crumbles under pressure.
2/10 times someone escaped.
2/10 times I escaped by playing like a absolute rat.
1/10 times 2 people managed to escape (Without me).

What, are you trying to survive in solo que?
I’m delighted! Opportunity for a fun match.. if the other survivors will play it our normally too.
My friends prefer to play Valorant so I torture myself by playing it Soloque for the last 4 years.
And when I hear Nurse's screech I cuss audibly cause I know I'm totally going to get smashed.
Depends on the map, usually. If the team isn't terrible AND she's not running those addons, Nurse matches can be fun.
But if I'm running bad/niche perks to do a challenge and it's Nurse, then yeah, I usually give up any hope of getting it done.
And this is why the nurse needs a complete rework. Bhvr needs to make her power appealing to new and old players and balance her killing statistics. Her teleportation needs to go. She’s outdated game design and she makes people give up immediately. I see it every day in my solo q matches.
And I understand the people giving up against her because she IS overpowered.
you never know with solo q.
you could get a God Nurse, but that God Nurse could end up getting clowned on because they were unfortunate enough to face the Blendette/Nea Urban+Self Care Spine Chill in a corner squad and they just get absolutely ghosted.
The biggest issue I run into with Nurse is managing survivor morale. Teams seem to break down rather quickly. At least with a Bubba, more often than not people will stay on hook to give their death some meaning to help the others escape, but with Nurse it's like "nah i'm out"
Nurse, and Legion
If I'm doing an escape challenge then yeah
Your right, my Morale breaks down really quickly when it comes to her and that's hard to do that to me.
The sheer intimidation factor makes teams give up and it annoys me cause we usually cannot get normal matches.
Soloque life hard.
Even in a SWF we'll just one hook out. There's no fun to be had in a nurse match.
Yeah people will rather die than playing against this broken mess called nurse. And that says enough.
I feel you, even though I don't play with friends. I just want out lmao.
Solo que as a whole sucks against ALL killers. Why is thidls specifically about nurse again ?
Just this, no matter how much buff survivors get, no matter how many nerfs killers get, solo que never fix itself for reasons.
BHVR needs to fix solo queue. We as the players can only do so much ourselves.
Uh I feel opposite, literally every single players on solo que has to be good in order to fix solo que, BHVR can't really do anything about player skills.
I just don't understand the whole "I'm only a solo survivor !" If you hate solo do much. FIND DBD FRIENDS. I hated playing with newbies from the start....So you know what I did...? I found DBD friends.
Not true.
Trapper for example can be someone fairly played against with just Soloque.
Spirit and Blight against Soloque is chaotic but at least it's fun.
But Nurse? Everyone just like, gives up. Or is running around trying to think of a plan while someone gets to stage 2 on their hook.
No, I'm not high enough MMR as solo survivor to get the god nurses and I've played Nurse enough to know how high her skill floor really is. My recommendation would be to play Nurse on the side until you can fairly accurately land blink attacks on average survivors. After that, you'll find most Nurses at mid MMR or less pretty easy to counter. It's not that Nurse can't be countered; it's just that her counters are different than most Killers.
I still try my best at the game I can't say for the rest of my team but, I'll try to complete the gens or run the nurse as best as I can.
Same thoughts, if I maybe rush gens I could save the team. MAYBE.
If your bar for "doable" in solo que is trapper..I dont know what to tell you. Hes THE worst killer in game.
I know but when I main trapper I usually do fine with him. Hell I even 4k more often than I thought.
But when I'm up against a SWF, I ABSOLUTELY will know and feel it.
I'm running Overcome, so I bring my best HOLD W AND PRAY game.
I ran overcome and when trickster injured me he just gave up while I was running away. Absolutely funny.
well, in the matches i play, only 1 or 2 out of 5 nurses are really good. The match is over in 3 minutes then anyway, so nothing really lost.
In the other 3-4 chases the nurses can be outplayed to various degrees. Some will get you, but can extend chases, some break the chase after 3 minutes they couldnt get you, and some seem to learn that this mouse-thingy on the computer is doing.
so, god -nurse is rare enought to just lose a game to them once in a while. no big deal.
No, I embrace the challenge. Sure, against a really good nurse you are probably toast, but most aren't THAT good and you can often bamboozle them the first two blinks by doubling back at them, then the next time running straigth ahead and after that every blink is a mind game and I like to surprise myself by being as random as possible. It feels good when you actually run a Nurse for a gen or something like this and even better when she gives up and breaks chase. In all events you won big time.
Good nurses might anticipate this behaviour and just mercilessly cut you down, but you can run into any expert-level killer, so thats just that.
I just hope I can get some BP, I don't expect to escape.
I don't plan on making it easy for her, but I learn to lower my expectations when I hear the scream.
Literally just escaped a Nurse as a solo on Midwich. Hooked once (right as I was opening an exit), but two of the other survivors were on death hook. 4-person escaped. Even finished the Rift challenge to escape with a basement item.
So, short answer to the question .. no. Nurse can be beaten. Not easily, but not impossible, even solo.
