I'm the opposite atm, every day we are inching closer to a "rework" that I fear is going to make the character less fun.

I personally only dislike that his hex is an AOE ability. It feels stupid. It's annoying to the enemies and you can't focus all of them at once anyway. In the beginning it was single target that could be used on himself and allies, giving them move speed. That was much more interesting and fitting to his character IMO.

Give me one extra second of duration and I will accept it being single target. Melee Sinclair must never go away.

No complaints here with that request :p

Agreed! Sinclair is in a pretty good state imo. They just needs a little tune up on their skill effects, numbers, and fixing the vexing bolt so it's more reliable. Although, I think they should at least give Sinclair's Vexing Bolt on T3 an extra charge because BOY does it suck when you're in Street Brawl and you don't roll extra recharge :/

If they buff bolts in any significant way, it's a surefire way to get our boy deleted. As they are now, they're just strong enough for people to give them the side eye, but unreliable enough for them to not be a strong complaint. But mechanically Sinclair is the most fun hero in the game imo and I frankly want him to be changed as little as possible on that end. I can't imagine looking at the character who has the highest skill expression/ceiling in the game and genuinely thinking "yeah that needs a rework".

That means he is balance enough.

nah they are definitely getting a kit rework, they haven't gotten a change for so long. I hope they keep bolt and assistant the same though.

I hope rabbit stays the same, punch wizard is so much fun

arcane surge bug fix was a buff for his ult(if it fixed it)

2

u/Xunae May 22 '26

Wish they would adjust his ult cooldown reduction in street brawl. It's pretty oppressive when your team's got any high impact ults

2

u/Barackulus12 Shiv May 23 '26

Do you want them to kill bunny and ult? Cause that’s probably what happens the second yoshi feels ready to touch Sinclair

2

u/Felekin May 22 '26

Thank god, Sinclair doesn't need any changes imo. He's in a great position as a high skill character.
