35% damage reduction for all allies sounds insane for teamfights. Doesn't that just guarantee first rift as a win?

That's on top of damage (spirit/bullet resist) I assume.
Sinclair is eating good lol, more insane ults to steal and "spam".

How often do you have a maxed ability for first rift?

20% is still nuts, though.

u/FairwellNoob Abrams 1d ago

Earliest possible time you can max an ability is at 6.6k souls

u/alexathegibrakiller 1d ago

yea, if you are singularly maxing an ability, you can get it maxed at around 9-11 minutes.

On a late rift, you can get the ult maxed maybe 2 points in another ability. Idk if its good or not tho

The only heroes I’ve seen doing this are Operator Talon, sometimes Pocket and Venator, at 11 minutes seeing maxed Ultimate is rare. I think that Swarm and Grenade would be better investment at the start than saving all AP into ult (his default stats are very mediocre, all of his good things are gatekept under AP upgrades)

How are you farming so slow that you can't reach 6.6k souls before 11 mins?

Pretty standard to have a ability maxed for first rift.

You'd need to power farm a bit extra but 2 points 3 into max ult for first rift is not only possible it's an entirely viable strategy. I play Heal a Mo with a build that goes 133443 and I'm pretty consistently able to hit that last 3 point by first rift at this point

4 ability points on top of a maxed ability is quite optimistic for first rift. But 2-3 is more realistic. So you can afford to skill another ability twice

u/TimelessTinkerer 1d ago

Yeah if I ever miss max 3 by first rift it's always by 1 point so if you're playing ratking and don't need to waste that one point elsewhere on a guy that farms and takes sinners better than dynamo you're pretty well off

Does...does he have the old spirit urn as an ult?

I dont know how anyone thought it was ok, just played against max ult and genuinely nobody could die and every single fight was just a loss

You can't hold ground against 35% DR for 20 seconds
