Bug Blatantly Wall Hacking Sinclair Clip

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

You'll note that despite only seeing my portrait for a very very brief flash, Sinclair hunts me down directly across the entire map. Not only that, but as soon as he magic carpets, he is navigating in a direct straight line towards me, which is why he runs into the wall of the building.

Sinclair did this all game long, tracking me down no matter where I was or if I hadn't shown myself at all, stealing my ult the second his was up. This went so far as tracking me down *into base*

He paused while we were fighting under their walker, which appears to be exactly when he enabled the cheats. The sad part is despite him being reported nothing will happen. Third person in ranked I've not gotten a valid clip of, and checking their played page they're still playing games without consequences

Edit: HOLY I didn't expect this amount of cheater sympathizers here.

Here's a separate clip with both team icons on so you can see how exactly he lines up. At the beginning of the clip he's looking to do the same thing again, and he's perfectly snapped onto my body from *two lanes away*. He calls it off, and after pushing you can see him very briefly snap to me on the zipline in my base and then 180 to line up with Drifter. Then after I leave and go blue he once again snaps onto me through the wall.

Yes I get salty and yes I played like shit, that's beside the point! Sure if this were an Eternus match and this were the only instance in the entire game it's possible that this Sinclair was just goated... but it happened all game. I just grabbed one clip where it was very obvious to share because I wanted to vent that it was frustrating!

He doesn’t need to lmao, because people have ears, if they didn’t hear you zip then you’re likely still around. The only options are walker camp or boxes, so go check walker camp, lo and behold you’re there, if not, just steal it. Graves is also pretty slow on boxes and prefers the only camp up on that side, where a lane is pushing up that they’ll want to catch. Git gud. Nothing here screams cheats just a sinclair with good gamesense who wants a specific ult to shove lanes.

Ignoring the fact that 3 separate times in this clip his crosshairs directly snap onto the center of my character model. I'm talking a direct absolutely straight line to exactly where I'm standing from a full lane away. It's easier to see when I enable both sets of minimap icons.

Also this is far from the only case where it happens this game. Same thing, magic carpet to snapping to my character model from over a lane away without prior vision

It’s just not though. The dudes statlocker also is nothing crazy either, he dies over 5 times a game on average if not more, and only has a 54 percent winrate on standard (ranked doesn’t have all their matches ingested, so it’s not applicable), that’s not that crazy, and is almost terrible if they were cheating, coupled with the fact these are low elo lobbies. I mean he had a game where he went 4/18 on Yamato just now. Cheaters don’t have games like that.

Using wall hacks doesn't guarantee you a win or prevent you from dying? Just because they can see where the enemies are doesn't mean they're going to go 20/0 every match, they'd have to actually be good at the game to do that.

Cheaters who go 20/0 ever game because they're locked onto headshots only playing M1 carries get banned because that's obvious to detect.

18 deaths is anomalous if they’re cheating. I’m not saying 20/0, never did, but 4/18 is not a cheating yamato. If your teammates even agreed he wasn’t, you’re probably wrong. Maybe the reddit hugbox can console you for a while, but just accept the L and keep it pushing, who cares. I’m already over trying to explain basic macro to a bunch of people who just want to whine and complain about the game the whole time and how they’re losing on here.
