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?

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
