Do you think Wesker stay "fun to play as" or will turn to "Not fun to VS"?

Depends on who plays them and just time. People used to love playing against blight now everyone hates them even though the only changes were really QOL probably because he is just more fun to play so he is more common and because everyone thinks blights are sweatlords. So if Wesker starts to be played a bunch and then people who play to win start playing him well then it could easily become a repeat of blight where over the course of a few months he goes from loved to hated.

STBFL?

Edit: Oh, never mind. Came after a sip of tea. Save the best for last.

I never played ptb but just from watching he seems super annoying to play against.

From my experience he is "unfun to face" like nemmy, but both are fun to play.

He's a killer with voice lines, those are always fun to against regardless

I don't see how these buffs would make him unfun to go against. He still has the fundamental aspects that make sure a killer's anti-loop isn't too opressive if you ask me.

I think what is most key here is the long charge time of his ability. 1,5 seconds is arguably longer than any other power I know at the top of my head. He also has a 1,5 second cooldown after canceling his power, which is also very good and important.

The second important aspect is that he can't injure survivors over pallets, windows, or objects. He does have counterplay against windows and pallets, by being able to vault them, but the cooldown makes sure it isn't overpowered. In fact, I am positive that part of his kit will allow for interesting mind games at pallets, especially when they aren't dropped yet. It's one of the best aspects of his kit if you ask me. It will be a bit similar to Huntress, as in deciding whether you want to drop the pallet or not, but the requirements for that decision will be different.

The collision reduction and his faster movement speed in between bounds will help him a bit at loops, but I don't see those making too much of a difference. His power will most likely still be very weak at circular shaped loops, for example. And still strong at tiles like T-L walls or Jungle Jyms, but surely not without it's counterplay.

Same goes with being able to hit survivors that are vaulting, which in general was just a bug most likely.

And his hitbox will also be reduced a bit, so survivors have a slightly better chance at dodging his dash, which will add a bit more counterplay to him. If anything, I could see his power becoming a tad weaker at the loops he was strong at, because survivors will have a slightly higher chance of dodging Wesker, but stronger at loops he struggled with.

I guess the one thing that could make or break his fair counterplay is the hitbox size while or after he vaults a pallet or window. If it's too big, that could be a problem. If it isn't, and I doubt it will be, then he should be fine.

Of course I do not know for sure, but I am fairly positive he will still be very fun to go against. He was so fun to go against on the ptb, at least in my opinion, and I don't feel like any of the buffs should change that in any impactful way. If they would have given him 3 charges for example, now that would have been a different story. But luckily, they only buffed him carefully.

I don't think that's fair. Demogorgon is not weak in chase and he is like the most beloved killer to go against.

People complain more about killers like Artist, that while not op, don't allow for a lot of counterplay. There isn't that much survivors can do against someone like Artist to have an impact on the duration of the chase. And that's what people don't enjoy a lot of the times.

And I do not see that being the case with Wesker, even considering the buffs he is getting.

Wesker is similar enough to Demogorgon in chase that I'm pretty sure survivors attitudes towards him will be mostly on par, which is good because from what I can tell survivors tend to like going against Demo. 🙂 (Personally just as a rough guess I would rate Wesker as high A-tier as a killer and Demo as either high B or low A tier in terms of overall effectiveness simply because Demo is better at tracking and Wesker seems better in chases and I think the latter slightly outweighs the former, but we'll see how it goes.)

Not really, I don't find trapper or clown fun to go against

I'm pretty sure I've seen complaints about every killer with the famous survivor line 'not OP and totally beatable but needs nerfs because unfun!" Wesker will for sure fall into this camp due to his high mobility of his dash, even disregarding his anti loop with it I can already see the "can't even get away from a Wesker" posts coming.
