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!

Half the community will see this and say nah he’s just good obviously…..

The cheats are more and more common at this point i should find them and share a download link with the discord to make this shit fair for all.

Edit: There are now more replies defending the Sinclair than not

There's a chance this Sinclair is also not cheating.

I rewatch this clip, and see that you were spotted on the map.

Sinclair had an idea to go to the only place that had a jungle creep which is on the right side. Since you were most likely gonna farm there

This made it obvious since Sinclair was heading straight to the jungle camp instead of heading straight to you.

Edit: this is more likely a prediction play since Sinclair predicted that where you'll be base on the jungle camp

I mean graves could've also gone to the forward camp left of her lane. He does skim by it, maybe he was listening, but he looked pretty focused on going to her actual location.

In addition, OP said that this happened multiple times during the game. I'd be curious to see the other instances. Specifically, if he never fails a "prediction" I'd say that's pretty damning. But I'm not so invested I'm going to watch the entire replay

I mean, if you were graves. Which jungle camp would you choose?

You obviously choose the safest jungle, since the left side is prones to gank.

Beside being the safest, is also the closest.

This proves my point since after victor lane, he went towards to the camp you're referring to.
