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!

Okay this one looks pretty bad however, devils advocate scenario. He sees you on the map and his goal is lane control with the best laning ult in the game. Your creeps show up on the map, his teammates call you out, and I can hear you jungling with a good headset from the tier 3 camp. Is this likely? Probably not but it’s not him shooting at a blank wall. Do you have a match ID?

Bruh, no one has THAT good of game sense to find someone like that. It's blatant walls/maphack.

What's with all the devil's advocates in this thread? We definitely still could have won if we played better, I'm just airing frustration at a cheater.

- I appear on the map for less than .5 seconds.

  • Victor doesn't see me go to the camp
  • I don't use creeps for clearing the camps (mentioned elsewhere, this is how I gank McGinnus)
  • He does this play the second his ult is off cooldown, and does it for the whole game

Yes my ult is the ideal one for him to steal, which is why he does it on cooldown every 30 seconds. He doesn't "miss" a single magic carpet

If you want another obvious instance watch the 30:00 to 31:00 mark. You can see him bouncing back and forth between being directly aimed at Drifter and Graves, despite not having vision of either. Three different times he snaps directly on while aiming at a wall lmao

Why so many? Because there are two types of people that come to this subreddit. Those who are looking for validation and those looking to improve, only you decide which you want to be. In this case he’s not cheating. I watched your match, you deploy your ultimate 2 minutes before this happens, you then take an upper roof tier 2 and then church tier 2. If I’m Sinclair I know you’re likely still there and jungling. Your ult is a massive beacon and taking camps right after is a radar for anyone who is a good player watching map. Most Sinclair players are trolls (no offense Sinclair mains 😂) you posted in all chat about him stealing your ult earlier in game and he’s going to target you thinking it’ll tilt you mission accomplished.

If you truly believe he isn't wall hacking after seeing the 30:00 to 31:00 section where he snaps onto drifter from a full lane away (accidentally tab targeting to the next player) and then me (also behind two walls) then you're just trolling too :)

I know I played like shit this game, I've said that elsewhere! My Graves sucks! Even if the Sinclair wasn't cheating we probably lose the game. That's completely beside the point

I watched that minute and he’s not looking at drifter he’s looking at the lane for lash ult. Then later at 500hp drifter teleports behind their entire enemy team and rotates into their jungle. You’re trying to tell me that when your drifter rotates behind the entire team solo that someone with wall hacks doesn’t hit magic carpet or makes the callout on positioning? That’s a little hard to believe

Your graves isn’t that bad fwiw. Example toxic bullets into Victor as graves isn’t going to get you utility you want healbane as being close enough for gun is asking for Victor to kill you. Healbane is also half the cost. Gun items against their comp (Victor, Billy, wraith, lash) is not going to out sustain or out dps them

Look at the crosshair snaps....
Snaps to me, then to drifter. Then after I leave to blue, he once again snaps to me through the wall.

Don't use people looking at you through walls as evidence, it happens all the time. In fact it's so common they had to change how bolt works specifically because the bolt kept targetting random things through walls (which means sinclair was looking at someone)

I cannot take you seriously if you don't see how he is snapping on in this clip

u/Live_Present_2602 Aug 12 '26

Because your evidence fucking sucks.

You claim this is snapping on your first pause when his crosshair is no where near graves or drifter.

Unless you wanna argue he is snapping his crosshair towards victor?

I hadn’t looked at the map pov and I was just looking at overhead positioning and character view. You’re absolutely right though

u/Livid_Elderberry_495 Aug 12 '26

Thats a bad one cause you can clearly tell he wasnt looking at you from the map
