I mean yeah.. it's better on paper but we don't even know numbers for those emblems, is Gold / Silver considered -MMR?
It's basically the same as before besides well if you got 4 iri's you won't lose mmr and it's still prioritizes time (which is right) but it should match players closer than before like 60 / 40 in favor of que time instead of 80 / 20 like it was before.

Adrenaline was already a strange pick to buff, as with even 3 seconds of exhaustion it was already very usable and very strong, it's just that a lot of games it doesn't see use (similar to Unbreakable). It doesn't need to be buffed even further, the devs should instead be focusing on actually weak perks like Road Life

"Very strong" it's not even close to meta. Since they nerfed condition in which you won't get adrenaline if you're on a hook it become below average, so removing exhaustion wouldn't make it OP. They can focus on weak perks all they want, after they made Distortion useable and then after people started using it nerfed it to the ground I don't even care. They buff weak perks make it somewhat useful > people start using it > nerfed to the dirt

But again, in PTB Wesker didnt have any hit or collision after vaulting. Literally everyone could phase inside him and vault back with no timing.
In fact, if i remember correctly, after they added the hit and the collision, people were still phasing through him with timings, and they actually did try to fix that some other times with no avail.
If now there is always a collision then it seems to be working as intended.
Also, about the "if it was bugged they would have fixed it in 2-3 months since PTB". My guy, its BHVR we are talking about. Takes years to fix bugs. In fact, funnily enough, Wesker being unable to hit survivors on most window vaults was recently fixed after 2 years or so from being reported.

He did have collision and hit on release but people could still do it with proper timing, then they did change that timing from time to time, sometime they even completely fixed this revolt but double down on it later with just harder timing.Some "bugs" became features and being embraced by the devs cuz this vault is not a balance design and should have counter play, not 100% but sort of a last resort. Crouch tech also being called a bug by many and they could fix it long ago but they don't, whenever they fix such stuff it takes away from skill expression and makes game more stale. You want to believe that they couldn't fix this since 2022 for 4 years straight then you do you but I know for a fact that they fixed it 2 or 3 times thought this time and then double down on it because this thing should have counterplay.

Im sorry but you are wrong here on many levels..
It wasn't intentional. When Wesker came out a dev literally said that "they will add collision and a hit when wesker vaults" and they did. They didnt mention anything else at all so the fact that was "some timing to still vault back" was probably non intentional.
And the "Wesker always had a hit if survivor is too close during his vault since PTB" that is completely false. Wesker didnt have any hit on PTB if he did collide with the survivor after vaulting a pallet with his power. It was added after the PTB as people found that vaulting back made his vault completely useless.

It was, they fixed it numerous of times in the past (when there were no timing at all, it was fixed completely) and then brought it back shortly after just with different timing. If they wanted to fixed it completely it would've been fixed 2-3 month after PTB, everyone was talking about it, everyone knew about it, it was a counter and it was intentional.
Just like with the Ghoul recently > they fixed revolt completely so it worked like with Wesker right now, no matter what you did he hits you whenever you try yo revault > they saw backlash > they removed damage when you close to him when his vaulting completely.

Well I don't remember exactly, maybe it was since release, doesn't really matter, the point is timing always existed since PTB and it was back in 2022, they did fix this numerous of time and then double down on it.

@albertoplus said:
This is how its supposed to be. It has been bugged for years like his hits when survivors were jumping on a window.
When Wesker was released people did complain on how useless his vaulting was as he didnt have an ending collision and survivors could just always go through him and vault back before he has a chance to act. So the answer was that they did add a collision to make impossible for the survivors to vault back + an extra hit if he is near them after vaulting.
But it has been bugged for years and there were some windows where the survivors could still vault back. It was a bug, not a tech or something…
If now there is always a collision, then it works as intended.

Sorry but it wasn't a bug, it was always intentional. Just like people mistakenly calling crouch tech a bug, it isn't.
Him doesn't hit survivor vaulting right in front of him yes most likely a bug, they tried to fix it and ended up breaking him hitting survivors 2 steps away after vaulting the window.

When Wesker was released nobody called his vault useless lol, people were complaining just like against the Ghoul because this is awful design until most of the people found out counter to it. But on release it was easy timing, they made it harder throughout the years just like 2 weeks ago they made timing extremely precise and if you miss you get a hit. Btw Wesker always had a hit if survivor is too close during his vault since PTB.

It's for that reason I think that power vaults are flawed as a whole, except in the case of legion. I do however believe that this mechanic should remain to exist as it is literally supposed to deny the vault back and has been since Wesker's launch, it has however been perpetually bugged. If anything is to happen about this brain dead playstyle I would look into the power vault itself instead of making a completely unintentional mechanic apart of the game, especially when the vault back itself was quite weird and inconsistent.

It wasn't "bugged" it's been like that since PTB and it was intentional counter, from time to time they fixed it but then brought timing to revault back. Before Jason patch timing was exteremely precise and you would fail in like 60-80% of time trying to revault, leaving this trick as a last resort, right now you'd fail in 100% time. So they either need to bring revault back with hard timing making you taking risk while attempting so or change vault itself so it doesn't counter some of the strong loops leaving survivor 0 chance because this is just bad design and Wesker above avarage killer by itself.

@angrychuck said:
I mean good, vault backs, unlike for other killers such as the ghoul, are terrible for Wesker. This is predominantly because Wesker has one of the slowest power vaults (maybe Krasue is slower not really sure), slow to the point where at the majority of loops it is pointless to vault. This means in the circumstances in which Wesker does vault he is A not gaining anything and B can have more taken away from him than any other killer with a vault back. This change so that the survivor cannot gain generational distance against the killer is good.

It's not "that" slow, it's fast enough to counter any safe filler / god pallet without any skill expression / decision making.
With pallet density it's probably will be fine in most of the loops but sometimes it will create terrible situations where you die no matter what you do.

Cybil looks better in that regard she has some ressemblance, Heather need full rework she looks nothing like SH3 and Maria looks a bit off but mostly fine ig

I also recall all the leakers at the time (before they were all hunted down) were quite convinced there were going to be legendaries of mrx and ashley, then we were hit with a delay on the 2v8 event lol. Yea i was quite dissapointed with the stuff we got there finally as i prestiged rebecca as my first 100 and then waited ages for new cosmetics. Then suddenly ada and wesker get new stuff and im like 🙂 but what about REBECCA!? lol years later she gets one and its the same outfit, from the same game. Just the alternate version. I like it still but it was almost as big of a sucker punch as shanoa being a cosplay lol.
As for bhvrs descision making definitely strange choices all the time. Like nancy's new face for example, or richter belmonts face, or rick n daryl's screams/grunts. How they thought the players wouldnt mind is weird lol

It was confirmed that those leaks were true (about Mr x and Ashley) Ada and Wesker were still getting their RE4R outfits and Rebecca was supposed to get her basketball uniform. They said "2v8 was approved by capcom then two weeks later it was canned. They came back and approved it again later."

When og nemisis, re6 leon came into dbd during that 2v8 i havent taken those outfits off since the event as nemisis didnt feel like nemisis and Leon didnt feel like Leon till then. But i was so preocupied with Rebecca just getting her directors cut recolour after 2.5 years of 0 cosmetics, that i didn't even think of how weird that re6 Leon skin was. Like just prior to that event they had the original voice actor for Leon doing the voice of DnD Vecna, and when they added the re6 leon skin they not only had it bugged with Carlos' voice, but refused to call him Leon. So they had the perfect opportunity to put original re6 leon with his likeness and even voice actor, yet completely avoided using the face likeness, or voice and later changed his voice back to regular remake Leon. Ontop of that they added yet another og Jill skin for new jill. So somethings fishy there its like capcom allowed og nemisis and almost had a deal for a fully original Leon legendary but kinda refused at the last minute to bring any of the older likeness back and are trying to permanently phase them out, Which i hope isnt the case.

I bought OG Nemesis and Rebecca outfit, need more Rebecca outfits as it's one of my mains.
With Leon I was hyped when I first saw render leaks from far away, I thought we get something cool but then looking closely it was huge disappointment, instead of likeness we got some weird mix of aged RE2R Leon with baby voice when Matt Mercer is right there. And I think it isn't capcoms fault it's bhvr's weird decision making cuz remember how Jill and Claire looked on first RE chapter release and capcom allowed it… And if it wans't for community backlash I doubt they'd rework them. I had some topic about RE6 Leon rework I'd pay even 2k cells if it was done properly.

Facts, we need more classic versions of RE character, if they would make them legendaries and release system so legendaries can receive cosmetics it would be even better. Considering the fact that all the versions of the characters belongs to Capcom I hope it's will be possible, the only thing they gonna need is likeness.

Its not as bad as the two.
Its just really bad if you want to cheese with him by holding power and using aura perks to get garantied hits. (Unfortunately distortion sadly does not help whatsoever, since its been gutted)
Its also feels like hes in power and gets power 24/7 even when you "play the counterplay"
Alot of maps also just benefit him more than it harms, preschool is open, the game is open and can hit you from any elevation.
He also just doesnt get effected by tiles as much as anyone else.
Even if you use perks against him, like scene partner and eyes of belmoth, he can still hit you because he just got lucky, held power for 30s or the map is just abysmally bad to play against (rpd, coldwind, dnd map/borgos)
The only reason why he is not this hated, is because ghoul and blight is 10x worse and cheesy than the first ever could be.
I have seen people try to abuse plaything hex perks with thrill, penti and hivemind, but its honestly just like every killer who could run it.
I just wish his power wasnt so spamable and he actually gets punished for missing or holding his power for way too long. He does feel very bullshit when you have to dodge so much and barely get to waste time.

That's why distortion need to comeback either to prev version or buff current one keeping it chase oriented, main complain was people hiding doing nothing but with new crows system it's no longer the case.
The first literally doesn't care about single pallet, Blight does and Ghoul was problematic only on release and shortly after, rn he's countarable.
That's the main point, he needs longer cd, if he uses auras he can see you in chase let's say for 5s and can hit you with Vine attack like 3 times fully see you.

If you're getting stunned on an unsafe loop, you just got outplayed tbh, and thats the punishment. When you get stunned on a longer loop, you need BL to catch up afterwards. If a stun lasts 2 seconds, you're getting at least 8 meters if distance from the pallet, assuming they don't waste time breaking it and just go around. If you're not making anything, either thats just bad rng, ir a skill issue

True, but there's no really a "punishment" or reward for surv if he gets this stun on unsafe loop. You won't do any rotation unless there's another pallet in like 8m away (which is not the case with current Rng's), so if killer bith BL 2/3 get stun on unsafe pallet it doesn't really do antything.
