Wesker is too strong

Wesker has too many abilities to be balanced. Can vault pallets and windows extremely fast which shuts down loops. His dash ability also helps shut down loops. His dash ability helps get around the map extremely fast. He has insta down potential without add ons. He can injure multiple people with 1 attack. He can throw you into a corner and you literally have no time to make any distance. Not to mention his hit box is broken and gets hits with dash when he isn't even close to you. How does all of those abilities seem balanced when its not even accounting for add ons and perks. Something needs to be taken away from him because even bad killers are doing good with him and its ruining solo que even more than it already is.

    Sounds like a skill issue. I’ve gotten more 5 gen chases and 4E’s against wesker than any other killer it feels like. You spin his power and you make a plethora of distance.

    Not to mention all the different effects his add-ons can give. Like a constant red stain, a constant TR, fake pallets...

    He cant shut down small loops, loops need to be decently long so it makes sense to vault them, otherwise you will make it to the vault again without risk.

    His mobility is not even close to "extremely fast". He has a charge time where he slows down and a recovery after that. He is faster than regular but NOTHING compared to Blight or Billy, even still slower than Legion, Spirit, Onryo, Freddy...

    Thrown into the corner? Well, if you let him catch you in a corner... Bubba can instadown you when you are in a corner of the map. This is called game sense or awareness to get out of there in time. He has a 40m terror radius, your choice if you stick to an unsafe area.

    As much as I wanna touch up on the “vault pallets” thing, I have another focus here


    ”its ruining solo queue”


    How can a killer being strong ruin solo queue? Hell i’d say Wesker is in an almost perfect place right now imo, solo queue has its own issues but a killer won’t cause solo queue issues

    Pig has 3 abilities and she's still D tier. Doesn't really mean anything.

    Pinhead.


    Weak Killer against a team with any amount of coordination, incredibly strong against Solo Q.


    Not agreeing with OP about Wesker, but there are Killers who are issues in Solo Q specifically.

    I am gonna be entirely honest, I forgot pinhead was in dbd but most likely judging by how he is a problem, its more of a “who is getting x to stop y from happening” which could possibly be fixed with some changes to solo queue, atleast communication wise

    I had a match as Wesker last night where someone DC’d so I decided to just meme it up with the remaining survivors. Did some table dancing in the saloon, ordered some rounds from the Bill bartender, held a slow walk parade down the street to the exit gate - good times.

    I did learn that vaulting a pallet when a survivor was directly on the other side ends in a tentacle slap so that’s interesting.

    Solo que is a huge problem, most survivors are obviously below average skill level. So a broken character makes a bad situation worse. He is far from perfect, has way to many abilities without add ons and his hit box is too big giving a lot of free hits.

    I don't think he's too strong; I just think he's a decent tunneler.

    It's the new survivor main buzzword, replaced "counterplay".

    Also OP........"Even bad killers are doing good with him."

    If you're losing to "bad killers" doesn't that make you a worse survivor by default?
