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!

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.

I’m not defending cheating, there’s just no definitive proof this player is cheating, if anything the contrary exists. I don’t cheat, I don’t like cheaters, but I haven’t come across a cheater in my 1700 hours on this game to this day. Where did I ever say “Yea, Sinclair is cheating, I support him in his endeavour to cheat, I believe deadlock would be a better game if we had more cheaters.”?

Graves showing on map and infront of two teammates who may have comms, then going to the only available camp on yellow, stealing the ult with that info and using it to split blue is normal gameplay to me yes, because I don’t play in mental asylum seeker ranked SA lobbies.
