The breakable walls are good the way they are
Unpopular opinion here. But I just want to share my thoughts about it.
We have two kinds of BWs in the current state: BWs for God/strong windows and BWs for better traversal.
The BWs for god/strong windows are critized because u need to break them to shut down the god/strong window. But I think that's alright because the have the same scenarios wih some pallets (like midwich highschool or some tiles and jungle gyms). The survivor have maybe a one time usage for such pallets or BWs and if you break them u have nothing or a pretty weak window. So u as a killer gets a reward for breaking them because it will help u for later chases.
Yes, u need to break them as a killer. But if you don't have such a reward like the shut down of a strong loop than u shouldn't invest the time to break them to begin with.
The BWs for traversal have an example in badham preschool or The Game. U can break the BWs for a faster trafersal but that counts for survivor to. So here you cannot rush the break button, here u have to think about ur priorities. If u don't break the walls in The Game, the survivor will face a dead end but it could stop u to chase the survivor from the generator as well. In badham preschool we have a similar scenario.
For example, If u know there is a pallet in the basement than u shouldn't break the BW because u give the survivor a better access to it. But if the basement doesn't have a pallet anymore than u could break it because the survivor cannot use the traversal in a chase effectively.
Just my two cents here. Have a nice day.
And sry for some possible grammar issues here.

I disagree they are basically a breakable god window and I find them to be far more annoying then just a normal pallet since they almost always lead to losing the chase.
The problem I have with most breakable walls is that they justify bad design. A god window/loop is (in my opinion) bad design. And saying "Oh well you can just break the wall and get rid of the infinite" is stupid because infinites shouldn't even exist in the first place. Plus killers have to waste time that they don't have breaking those walls.
