How do you like Wesker?
Give me some review on him.

He's very fun to play against while also somewhat oppressive with the right builds. It's hard to get an accurate read during the ptb though. Most killers are still learning and the ones who have a good handle on the killer are going against survivors who aren't taking things seriously.
It's possible to read his intentions and counter him by vaulting or by putting something in between the two of you. In this situation Wesker is usually forced to go for the M1. It's usually a good idea to play around with vaults when he's trying to use his power as he can't grab you or lunge through the vaults during those animations. A good Wesker can space his dashes out perfectly though and either cop a feel just before a vault or force the survivor to vault into an unfavorable position. Some really smart Wesker players were running bamboozle to avoid any vaulting shenanigans and it worked heavily in his favor every time.
You would think that Dissolution would work well for him, but the one or two killers I saw running that perk hardly got any value out of it.

You should see Ayruns video "Buffed Wesker" he ran Dissolution and it worked quite well

I might check it out. As I mentioned, It's difficult to cast judgment on the PTB.

He is worst killer now , wesker looked like F tier.
Sadako or trapper still stronger than wesker.

He is looking like very solid killer.
Why you think he is so weak?
3 -
Wesker not have anti-loop , his power feel slowdown.
He should fast like RE version.

He's A tier like Artist, but unless you're S tier in this game, you ain't a viable killer. He's going to be nowhere near oppressive, except against bad solos. I like him though. Imagine a killer having a decent passive slowdown in this day and age.

I don't think he's going to be oppressive. Blight can't even be oppressive, and he's considered top 2. What you're describing is a killer having good synergy with perks, which is something we don't really see anymore aside from Starstruck/Floods of Rage sweaty Nurse builds, but she makes any build look OP.
His vault still feels kind of jank and slow, unless you do it on those long-fall, 1-way windows after a survivor has just vaulted it, in which case you get massive catch-up. I still feel it's gonna be like a Blight/Nemesis/Artist/Sadako thing where there will be many times where you tried to use your power (which is what you should be doing, else why pick the killer?) but you miss it instead of just going for an M1, which ultimately lengthens your chases by many more seconds than you can afford. Ultimately, whether you're good at using his power and ending chases quick or not, he's still gen rushable. Every perk you bring to strengthen his "oppressive" chase is 1 less slowdown perk for you, so do so at your own peril.

F tier? Never. Where are you even getting that. You make ME look optimistic towards killer. He's probably gonna be A, but still not viable because he can't deal with the gen rush.

Lethality is gen slow down. If you down some one, that person needs to be rescued. That means some one needs to get off a gen. If you down that guy coming for the save, no gens will be getting done at that point.
Doesnt matter if you have no map traversal or if you move at 50% survivor speed, if your power is downing survivors by looking at them, you have the best gen slowdown in the game.

But his power isn't looking at them. It's a dash that's in need of some qol changes. And you're missing the point with lethality. Nurse and Blight have lethality, yet 5 gens get done against them all the time. You can leave your teammate on hook until they're about to hit the next stage and then get them. If the killer camps to make sure that doesn't happen, then you stay on gen and get them done that much faster. Even with 1 guy getting hooked and another guy slugged, they only need to send 1 guy to get someone off the ground or the hook, and the last 1 keeps on the gens. I don't think good survivors will ever even be in that position where someone's slugged and hooked at the same time; that's very much there fault. The neutral state of the game is not favorable for killer, and they can't really do much to switch it off of neutral.

He's nowhere near A tier, he's just a weaker Demogorgon with no mobility and a 1v1 that's slower and unusable in round loops

Very iconic and fun to play against.

No im just explaining how lethality affects gens. I uhhh in fact know thats not his power, lol.
And yeah i agree that survivors should be time efficient and work on gens while ignoring hook till last sec. Yet that rarely happens and a hook means at least 1 person gets off gens in 99% of games.
And even if they are time effiicient there are ways to force it. If you have bbq or other info perks and know which survivor is best situated to make a rescue you can and should immediately start chasing that survivor to force those that are far away to stop what they are doing and rush to the hook. This specially works in your favor in bigger maps. And it has the added affect of concentrating 3/4ths of the survivors in one part of the map if you can end the chase with the closest survivor soon enough. Which is in your favour.
I play nurse with just PR as slowdown and even in bigger maps i almost never feel like im out of options or gens are going too fast. Even vs pretty good swfs. That is mainly because i can get downs pretty fast.

Demogorgon doesn't have much over Wesker, and he certainly isn't A tier himself. If you're using Demogorgon's portals at any point in the game where you're not already winning, you're playing him inefficiently (even if you're playing him "right" by using his ability) because of all the time waste. That's the 1 thing he has over Wesker, besides maybe how his shred hits people at windows (although we don't know if they're gonna buff Wesker to where he can grab people at windows with his power). When Demo uses his shred on someone, he just injures them. When Wesker uses his, he infects them, and if they're near the edge of the map and he throws them he basically downs them for free. Demo doesn't have any passive slowdown like the Uroboros Virus. He also can't instadown with his ability like Wesker can against a max infected person. Neither can use their power at round loops, but at other loops, Wesker has 2 charges on his power in case he misses. Demo just misses. Wesker also has a bigger TR so he can use TR builds better than anyone else. No, as a Demogorgon enthusiast, I don't see how he's stronger than Wesker.

That's because you're Nurse, dude.

Depends on the situation, but Portals aren't time wastes if they're used properly.
When Wesker uses his, he infects them, and if they're near the edge of the map and he throws them he basically downs them for free.
Sure, the infection is good, but I don't see how throwing the Survivor in a dead-zone and then downing them is something specific to Wesker. Dead-zones aren't specific to Wesker, hell a Demogorgon with Black Heart downs a Survivor faster than Wesker in a dead-zone.
He also can't instadown with his ability like Wesker can against a max infected person.
Thing is, if Survivors let themselves get fully infected, they would've let Sadako mori them. Full infections are going to be rare.
Neither can use their power at round loops, but at other loops
That's just plain wrong. If you want, I could show a guide on how to deal with them

At his PTB-State, I really like him.
Now it comes:
A) if they fix him, so that he dont cancel his ability on every rock, he will be very fun and an really unique killer (I dont like that medium or fast vaults grants immunity, he should get the hit like Demogorgon)
B) if the decide to nerf him for whatever reason, he will be out of my view.
At his current state he is middle-tier and thats absolutely ok. Fix his bugs, bring him online that way, and he will be Top B-Tier or maybe (!) Bottom A-Tier and THATS HOW EVERY KILLER SHOULD BE.

I love him, but he’s VERY buggy.

Worse than Nurse? 🥺

And Wesker even does have some decent map mobility because he can Bound to cover about 21 meters instantly if he needs to go a long distance between chases. It’s not as good as Blight and long distance travel, for instance, but it’s definitely noticeably better than just walking.

Wesker is objectively better than Demo in most respects and I think is worse than Blight so that puts him pretty solidly in the A tier. Anybody saying he’s F Tier is playing him badly. Reminds me of all the people who called Blight F Tier during his PTB and I was saying he was maybe one of the best killers in the game. Pretty sure this is a similar situation, the people who think Wesker is weak are just having trouble with him because either they’re doing something badly or they’re annoyed by collision issues that will probably be tweaked for the live version like they tweaked Blight after his PTB.
And also, no, full infections are not going to “be as rare as Sadako’s Condemened kills”, Wesker’s infection builds up much more easily than that because once he Bounds into you it builds up passively over time automatically even if he never hits you again whereas Sadako’s Condemened only gains a stack over time if you actually are carrying a tape. There’s also a limited number of total uses of vaccine per match and if the survivors are curing themselves after every Bound hit there will be survivors who fail to find a spray in time before the infection is fully charged. If you figure 2-4 hits per down then killers get 20-25 hits or more during an average match, but there’s only about 12 or so total spray uses per match so by the halfway point those sprays are going to be harder and harder to come by. Not to mention every time a survivor uses the spray they’re taking that time running to get it and use it away from being on gens, giving Wesker’s infections even more time to continue building.

His voicelines are really nice, just having killers speak for once is really cool, and his power is so satisfying to use (provided that it works as intended)

He's basically a slightly more fair nurse. It will be interesting to see what happens as people's skill facing and running him improve. I think he's going to be scary like spirit or blight, but nurse will still be the top dog.

The fact that the people in this thread can’t recognise an pretty obvious joke is mildly concerning
