Power vaulting isnt rewarding, i accept clips of people getting downs after vaulting pallets and windows with power (no addons in play), basically power vaults are slower than surv vaults so you can loop around the structure and vault again safely and the killer wont earn anything.

You could say that power vaulting with wesker seamless transitions to the other side for a power charge. However, my point still stands: the distance you gain by pressing the window and spacebar is too minimal to be valuable.

I stopped playing wesker because it was enfuriating that the window bug still happens years later. The window bug basically is when you dash but dont hit the survivors and ALSO DONT VAULT the window, basically the game understands that the window is occupied by the survivor still but the hitbox is so far outside of it that you dont get the hit so its a loss x loss.

A QOL change would be a toggle option for vaulting or not inside a dash, as it is RN you can crouch side the window and not get grabbed and the wesker hitbox force him to vault. This problem exists on blight and hillbilly too where you can crouch corner of doorways and not get power hit but still bodyblock the passage forcing a miss.

chucky,krasue,wesker all have these nonsemsical vaults (or had because if i remember well now chucky insta enter into hit animation after power vaulting pallets im not sure), legion is the only power vault that earns a thing and without the break pallet addon the value you get its a usable power, cause otherwise he would be F tier.

//vecna has a vault too on fly where you can vault before he forced lands in the other side, idk if its still doable, but on his power vault sometimes people miss the hitbox timing and get hit, but still its slow enough for you to loop around.

Im not saying that power vaulting should be at survivor level speed, but it should earn enough time to force people going into a pallet or another tile instead of the SAME WINDOW 3X

    I find it funny that Krasue's pallet vault went from old Chucky scamper tier of nonsense to consistently detrimental to the killer. Wish they'd just remove it entirely. Have head form break pallets slower if they want to try to balance it, I don't care.

    Clunky AF killer.

    This is why I bring Lab Photo as Wesker. The vault is crap. I'd rather the pallet be gone. I still bounce off the window pathetically though. I'd certainly like a change there. Missing his power is punishing enough without things that aren't your fault making it worse.

    I don't think asking for a fast vault on some killer powers is unreasonable, if they're not already super juiced with mobility and other powers (no for Vecna, Kaneki, or Krasue). It does indeed work with Legion because their power is simplistic.
