The Nurse is being ignored

I believe the Nurse nerf was exaggerated.
The (new) Nurse is uncomfortable and unfun (to everyone in the match), thats a fact. She is, of course, still strong (less than post-nerf Spirit IMO) but I don't think ANYONE in the match, killer or survivor, has fun playing with her. She was hard to control if you were new, and now is incredibly harder and incredibly weaker, why?
I mained her some months ago, I had my fun and I was really good with her til I started maining Huntress. Came back to her and I just can't believe how unfun she is, like really. I prefer to play Legion against a coordinated SWF than Nurse.
She is still the lowest killer in the game, but you're now forced to walk 90% more than before, why don't give her 110% movement speed?
I can't even start to imagine what would it be playing Nurse on maps like Hawkins, I doubt you have a chance against average survivors.
And now shes just been left to die... Devs havent said a word after her nerf. Are you still monitoring her to see how she performs? I think it might be too early yet, but still, a word from the devs would be very welcome.

She got legion treatment. Look at how they look at legion, left in the corner...
She wasn't that hard to control when using 5 blinks add on, even if you were new at this game.
How is she unfun and uncomfortable to play as when she still function the same? All you have to do now is be more patient with your blinks if you are always replying on using multiple blinks.
She still function the same as ever, so your reasoning for complaining about her makes no sense. Just because she is hard to use, doesn't mean she is unfun. It means you are just not good at using her unlike other players. Why don't you take your time and properly learn her instead of always wanting to constantly blink all the time?
Why should the nurse be able to move that fast when she is capable of ignoring all defences against suriviors? This isn't a complaint, it is just you wanting her to be like how you want her to play as.
Moreover, why would the devs monitor her still? There's plenty of gameplay out there to show the new nurse is srill capable of easily getting 3k all games if you know how to use her.
@Zoldyar are you a red rank nurse main?
the sheer lack of experiance is so obvious it hurts
Lol Nurse is being ignored?
Guess who else gets ignored:
Myers
Pig
Hag
Plague
Legion
Doctor
Demogorgon
Huntress
Leatherface
And clown.
And soon to be Spirit.
They all are rarely seen or rarely played anymore.
Deomogorgon barely came out and I dont even see him much.
That means:
Trapper
Wraith
Billy
Freddy
And Ghostface
Are all getting played more often than (58.8%) the entire killer roster.
(Barely played Killers of the Killer Roster = 58.8%)
(Mostly Played killers of the Killer roster = 41.2%)
17 Killers = 100% of Killer Roster
100 ÷ 17 = 5.8%
So each killer is 5.8% of the entire killer roster.
So.. 10 × 5.8 = 58.8 of killer Roster barely played.
Which is funny.
Cause what do they all have in common? Crappy killer powers because either a nerf messed em up, or because they were made with the intentionally crappy power.
That's why they aren't played. And people wonder why we dont have good queue times 🤣
Are you good with nurse? Would you like to show me good good she still is? add me on steam and try to catch me with your nurse. I will prove you wrong
How often did you went against a 5 blink addon nurse? Because I dont think it was something common.
She does not function the same anymore, she is 96% ms because she could blink when she wanted too, now you're forced to walk a lot more than before but her speed is the same, slower than a survivor. Seems fine right? And im not the only one saying shes unfun, I've yet to find someone who has had any fun with her.
Hear hear, I was a main nurse and never used the broken add ons... she is so unfun now that I switched to other killers
No buff for you. Check back in three years.
;-;
I will gladly join this custom match as survivor and be a part of running her around the map for minutes. I was already able to run old basekit nurse for quite long time, new nurse is a complete joke to me. I don't even have to think, 75% of the time I just hold W. Also, W Stands for winning.
Exactly. She has now LESS map mobility than normal m1 killer without addons. All you need to do now is run before she gets close enough, juke, run again. And you end up wasting TONS of her time. Funny thing is that if you have no idea how to juke the nurse, simple counter is just to run forward and it will take +30 seconds before she actually downs you lmao
Everyone agreed those add-ons need to go. So what are you talking about?
And you sound like you don't play nurse at all, and only experience her when playing survivors
Of course from survivor perspective, she is still the same, but we're talking about killer perspective here. You should not apply survivor perspective to killer perspective
lol! How often have you really gone against a 5 blink nurse? The only time I ever played 5 blink nurse was for the memes when I heard her add ons were getting nerfed.
If you really still think nurse is fine and fun to play you clearly did not play nurse very often at all.
I’ve been having more fun playing blinkless, perkless, soundless, add on less nurse than I’ve been having fun playing her normally. Seriously, that’s what I’ve been playing for the last hour and a half and I’ve smiled every game. Can’t claim to have had that experience playing her normally. Still get hooks sometimes too.
Of course I took my P3 outfit off before doing this...
I can still 4k with her. I have negative amounts of fun doing so now. That’s my gripe.
I'm average at times using nurse, but I don't mind a challenge. I don't have stream, I have an Xbox.
There's a difference tho, Nurse is still way more powerful than Legion because she can still bypass the survivor's defenses.
Legion can too, but you can't down survivors with FF because it would be too cheesy! He needs some QoL changes to his button add-ons. 😁
Has never played Nurse at high ranks.
I was because she was the only killer I was consistent at in winning games (other then hag).
I have went against 6 people (I think it is more but I don't keep track) that uses 5 blink Nurse in total within my year (or months) of playing dbd.
I really don't get the big deal because must suriviors would try juking the killer then trying to escape. This is because all defences I'm capable of ignoring so all suriviors would bait me to blink me into the wrong position. Why I'm saying this is because this is a common thing I do and see suriviors do to try and waste time. The walking thing isn't a big deal because you can still recover your blink at a fast enough rate to hit a surivior.
I don't know how the type of games you guys played but for me everything seems fine. There was one game while using the nurse in which the surivior had one gen, then in like a minute I knock down three of the suriviors because I didn't miss one blink attack. The other guy escape through hatch. Granted when first using her I got destroyed (almost) at that game, until I realise that I shouldn't constantly be using my blink attack one at a time.
I'm simply talking about nerf for nurse and why it is necessary. So what do you think I'm taking about?
How do I "sound like" I never experience playing with her?
I'm applying both perspective which is why I brought up YouTubers and does who stream. I can't simply say I'm good at nurse without evidence which is why I mention gameplay footage of people using the new nurse.
I find that the main problem is that eventually the killers playing nurse will die out and since she is hard to learn and punishes missed blinks players won't dedicate themselfs to learning her, This will result in literally no one playing nurse.
Hopefully we hear something this coming week. My guess is they're still gathering data, though I worry about sample size given that many are saying they don't see her anymore. But it's also worrisome that there weren't any questions asked about it in the survey. The whole process has been underhanded.
I still main Nurse, she's fine the way she is now. She still has counterplay, and doesn't have those old addons that break her.
She's a bit more skillful now, if you relied on Omega blink every game, then you're gonna have issues with the new nurse. This is a fine adjustment, but the base power shouldn't of been touched. It's just addons that needed adjustment. She's perfectly fine. She's still the best killer without a doubt. This nerf was not even a nerf.
I never used Omega and I have stopped playing her all together, I don't like walking around at 96% speed. Also it was nerf she now has a cool down on blink what are you even saying.
Some of her addons are lazy bad, they are not even interesting.
To me, it wasn't a nerf. I'm saying it wasn't. If you read it again, then you wouldn't have to say that.
I have no issues with her, still. She's still my main killer. But still, anyone claiming *this 100% killed her* isn't right. Because she can still do the same. So what?
They added a cool down to the mobility of the slowest killer in the game that's a nerf, I 1000% agreeded the addons needed to be changed.
They killed her
