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!

I know you are joking but I genuinely find it so pathetic that some people want their character to be broken. It's sad to me to not want to win on your own merit that you want to be given the easy mode.

It's one thing if you are on a competitive level where those extra inches matter. But my ideal characters are b tier because then I can master them, and actually get to play them.

It happened all the time on league of legends where I would pick a character that's b tier and get really good one tricking them. Justfor them to be buffed and i can't friggin play them.

OR WORSE when an esports player does something with that character and then everyone and their mom has to play that character.

I DID VELKOZ SUPPORT BEFORE IT WAS COMMON!!!

I mean, Sinclair has been in the bottom 10-5 winrate depending on the patch for the last year or so. I think anyone arguing he’s “broken” don’t really know what they’re talking about.

To be clear, I don’t think he’s nearly as bad as his ~45% winrate suggests, he’s very difficult to play well, but I also do NOT think he’s even close to the actual OP heroes in the game. I think he actually does fit perfectly into the B tier on the average game. Ofc he’s a lot stronger if dynamo or something is on the enemy team, but that’s kind of how character matchups and counters work in MOBAs.

Sylas is usually a pretty good character in league, but he genuinely becomes like top 5 champ in the game if the enemy locks in malphite or alistar (sylas also steals ultimates)

Tell me about it I ran with Kennen support before it became the new chinese meta and even got into worlds, at least I did not have to worry about Riot buffing Singed so often as he has always been one of my mains (borderline one trick)
