30cm Wesker Hitbox first impression
This is probably the sweet spot, as I and many others suspected. I am now not rushing completely past survivors with near misses, I'd imagine the going THROUGH survivors issue is also addressed (That specifically maybe only happened to me once with the 20cm hitbox).
Feels not too forgiving, still dodge-able at longer ranges but to be frank if you get caught in the first 2/3rds of the first bound, dodging that shouldn't be viable anyway unless the Wesker messes up.
Because I've been playing a lot of him, dodging poor Weskers when I was playing survivor was all too easy. I hardly ever got grabbed at 20 cm. Have not yet faced him as survivor but I hope to find that I am actually able to still dodge it, but that I'm getting yoinked by good Weskers more often.
My main concern at this point is now that his power is more consistently usable, and since he was pretty good as an M1 killer (with using his power for good map mobility as opposed to damage) before his hitbox was fixed that we might see a nerf come his way. He just suddenly got a whole lot more powerful at low and mid MMR, with probably slight and noticeable improvement at high MMR (some people were getting good with that janky hit box.)
With nurse, demo and blight in the game in their current state I don't see how he could warrant a nerf. That's just me.
If anyone wants to share their first impressions on the new hitbox from either perspective please, let me know in this discussion. Could it use a little more? Is it perfect? Do you actually think something like 25cm would be more reasonable?

It should be put down to 25 imo.

Possibly could work. I prefer it at 30 but to be fair I have yet to face it as survivor so maybe the sweet spot is just this 👌 close.
So far I haven't noticed grabs that looked unfair from the killer's perspective. Because it's bigger now some high ping players might call a bad grab when the server just did it's best and it seemed fine for the lower ping people.
All I know for sure is 20 was far too little, and tbh the 40 didn't seem THAT bad so I feel pretty confident 30 will remain the place where survivors and killers are happy. It'd be nice if it was easy to mod the game to test your theory, see if 25 would be ideal. I saw a few people call for 25, including the guy on reddit that made the visualization of the hitbox.

30 is a good sweet spot. 25 would be laughably small.

You can already dodge pretty well unless they're kissing you with 30. I would just go back to a "ranged" killer with actual hitboxes like demo/huntress if it was nerfed again
