In my experience the insta down on Wesker's power doesn't really come into play a whole lot. If Wesker decides to tunnel, insta down usually doesn't matter at all because the survivor won't have time to heal before they're in chase again. When Wesker doesn't tunnel the survivor usually goes off to heal and get a spray (not necessarily in that order) while Wesker is occupied with someone else. You also rarely get to chase fully infected survivors; They almost always go for the spray asap when they aren't in chase. The only times it comes into play are when you infect someone, but can't down them before they reach full infection (which is indicative of Wesker playing badly), or when a survivor chooses not to spray (which is blatant bad play from the survivor). The insta down and hinderance of the infection act more as a deterrence than an outright threat; They cause survivors to pass on gens and do something else because if they don't they'll be at a critical disadvantage if they get found again.
As for your idea; I think thematically having Wesker break stuff when he slams people is really cool, but a bit impractical since tossing/slamming people into something breakable isn't really feasible in practice.

Slamming two survivors into each other isn’t usually feasible either but it’s still a mechanic that exists and it’s still incredibly fun when it happens. This buff is less about viability and more about feel-good gameplay. It’s a small change that lends itself to rare but special moments where you just get a fat dopamine hit because heehee pallet go boom.

instant down is not enough of penalty. see plague for example. she infects everyone into broken status effect and everyone just ignores her fountains, rushes generators and only cleanses in the end game. Avoiding slowdown requires punishment.
Its also to prevent purposely taking virulent bound hits and forcing wesker to throw surviviors into nothingness where they continue looping as if nothing happened. I still abuse that as survivor though because by the time he fully infect you, he likely lost the game, chase-wise. Just bloodlust 2.0 mechanic.
Weakening his slowdown such that you can ignore infection mechanic means he should be buffed in his 1vs1. perhaps buff his chase such that vaulting a pallet allows him 2nd bound after vaulting a pallet instead of putting him on cooldown.

The difference between survivors being broken against Plague and being fully infected against Wesker is that Plague is an M1 killer who has to hit you with a basic attack, whereas Wesker gets to use his power—a power that is very strong in a chase—to get the instadown. That is a HUGE difference which are you are just completely ignoring.

But again, nerfing the hindered isn’t the point I’m trying to make with this post, so if you continue to argue this point, I’m just going to ignore you.

being hindered if you get fully infected is literally all it practically does. And why there's first aid sprays. if a game's gone on long enough that there's no more cleansing available, uh, oh well?

Firstly, completely irrelevant to what I’m trying to propose.

Secondly, if you think a chase power as effective and versatile as Wesker’s being able to INSTADOWN YOU isn’t strong, I truly do not know what to tell you lmao. It is the scariest part of his kit, bar none.

Legion may be edgy but we've yet to see a true emo aesthetic skin for him.

Jeff could get a glam metal cosmetic with a glorious blonde mane and fancy leather jackets and skinny jeans.

Trickster's entire existence is a goofy cosmetic.

I want Twins to get a cosmetic that's just one of those chef's hats.

Never, ######### is way easier than a flaslight save, don't need a buffer.

I think its biggest issue is less the strength and more the delivery. 25 seconds of incap is EXTREMELY annoying especially in solo queue for when there's little to no tell when a survivor is ever going to go down and cause Eruption to pop. I agree with the take that the regression should be increased but the incap duration should be decreased, greatly so.

I don't disagree with the accessibility, but let's not pretend that FOV is the biggest issue, and whether you like it or not it changes how killers receive information. Wider field of view = more information. Killers already have tools for dealing with flashlights.

You continue to overestimate the impact increasing FoV has on the hide-and-seek aspect of DBD. It really, truly will do next to nothing. In the years I've spent addicted to Shadowborn, in the hundreds of matches I've used it, I can count on one hand the number of times I saw a survivor thanks to the increased FoV. And it wasn't even because of the wider range of vision; it was because the wider FoV was simply less disorienting to look at.

"Killers already have tools for dealing with flashlights."

Okay? That doesn't change the fact that an increased FoV objectively makes getting flashlight blinds easier. Survivors have a tool for killers having eyes; it's called "hiding," yet here you are adamant in the belief that an FoV slider is some kind of doomsday device for stealth.

great, now we reached whataboutism. The statistics you showed are 1= all mmrs and 2 = top 5%.
for balancing matters you balance around all mmrs. Or to show off how balancing stuff actually changed stats (which BHVR did by releasing those) youd also wanna take the "all mmrs". The top 5% are an addition to know whats going on in the masters den so to say. Nothing of importance for casual players.
the other one said the 63% killrate is an aggregation of ALL killers, which is not, its the aggregation of pinhead, onryo and wesker. So they made up their fake statistic by saying ALL killers have an aggregated killrate of 36%, which makes my statement about them making things up true.
AND.. You argue over do not ignore the 5%, of which i asked why, then you counter with "well why shouldnt we ignore the 10, 25 bottom %. Which was never talked about and about those were not released any numbers. (again "all" mmrs, first image).
both of you have no case. if you wanna bring statistics in at least do it right, i guess im done here since you couldnt answer my question in the first place, you keep changing the subject like the other one.
im not the one trying to push a narrative here 😁

Firstly, let's just get it out of the way, balancing around all MMRs is a terrible idea. It just is. I almost want to stop arguing with you because I cannot take someone who believes in that idea seriously at all.

Secondly, my point is, the stats for the top 5% of MMR are significant because it's supposed to show (I say "supposed to" because MMR is dogwater) what's good and bad at the level of players who actually know what they are doing, and thusly accurately showcase what is good and what is bad. If you want to argue that these stats should be ignored for whatever reason, then why are we bothering looking at the stats that include the massive range of bottom MMR players which completely skew any numbers worth taking seriously on account of matches in that range being a complete and utter circus?

I'm not even taking the other guy's side on this. I couldn't care one way or another. But if you're gonna accuse someone of making up numbers and then ignore the numbers presented to fit your narrative, that's just comically hypocritical.
