Wesker is unfun
I can't be in the minority opinion that Wesker is just not fun to go against. I'm not a survivor main, and if I were to rate the percentage of time I play survivor vs killer, I'd say survivor is about 35-40% of my time in the game. Almost equal, but usually more killer than survivor, and maybe only around a third of the time do I play survivor as solo queue.
Anyway, it's gotten to the point where every time I face against a Wesker as a solo queue, I shamelessly kill myself on hook. I simply don't care to play against him anymore. I've been in games where Nurses have ended the game in about 5 minutes, and I still don't kill myself on hook vs a good Nurse. I'm just going to come out and say it. Wesker is like Nurse if Nurse games lasted 3 times longer than they currently do. He can blink across the map and pressure gens with the relative same ease as Nurse, or he can facecamp and tunnel in a way that is only second to a Bubba with opposable thumbs and a mouse. And in solo queue, face camping is a loss 90% of the time because potatoes won't just do gens. Therefore, he is the Jack Of All Trades, and the master of them all too. The only difference is that he has to walk around the walls.
People put him in A tier because they put Nurse in S tier. But Nurse shouldn't have a tier. She's tierless for reasons no one has to guess about, and BHVR won't ever hard nerf her because she has a high skill floor. Wesker has a low skill floor and a high skill ceiling. I'm not claiming to be the best looper in the world, but I'm not terrible. A Wesker that understands his range is about as capable as a Nurse within that range. You just can't escape him.
I feel like the main group of people who think otherwise are just people with nostalgia boners for the RE franchise. He's not fun. He's oppressive. He has way too much basekit value to need or require 115% movement speed. His dash needs a nerf, or the debuff that comes with it needs a heavy nerf. It doesn't have to be both, but something is better than nothing.
Anyway, these are just my thoughts after the influx of Wesker in my lobbies since the Halloween event drew to a close. He's popping up around every 5 or 6 games the past few days, and I have finally broken my solo queue code of not killing myself on hook. I'm not going to spare him 7 minutes of my time.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Feel free to comment, but I probably won't be returning to this thread. This is the feedback forum (at least I think it is, first time posting a thread here and there is no option), and this is my feedback. Wesker isn't fun, but he could be. Currently, he's only fun to play as.

He was fun to go against until BHVR broke his hitbox and now he's a damn vacuum.

Fun is subjective. But I do agree, I don't enjoy going against wesker at all, especially getting him a bunch times in a row. And I find it ironic how his infection is actually useful, meanwhile nemesis get a sprintburst simulator :facepalm:

People like you decry every killer that you can't just loop endlessly as "unfun"

I dislike the infection building in chase but like other than that i think wesker is one of the best and fair killers they have released in awhile

I don't even mind normal infection buildup. I absolutely hate how it makes it practically hard NOT to tunnel. It's so beneficial AND natural, that you need quite a lot of self discipline if you don't want to tunnel as wesker. That is personally my only complaint about the killer.

I wish Nemesis could go into a Dash ,but sort of like legion and just bust through, breakable walls , pallets that would make nemesis fun and or maybe if he was just original Nemesis altogether

There are definitely some aspects of Wesker that I think are overtuned: Hindered puts a time limit on any chase as soon as you get hit, because moving at 91% speed is a death sentence no matter how good your looping is. Remaining infected off the hook incentivizes tunneling so much. The hitbox on his grab is still very wonky, especially when ping is involved. And him getting a notification when someone uses a spray is a big glowing "tunnel me" sign that the person that just got unhooked is ready to be targeted again. Also, the Video Conference addon that speeds up passive infection is far too powerful. It needs to either have its numbers dropped or be a purple.

Comparing wesker to nurse in this was is insanity.
