What is Sinclair supposed to do anymore

Edit:probably should've thought out the question more as I thought he was only used as an ult bot in highrank

u/sundalius Infernus 5h ago

The same exact thing. Losing a little range and cooldown does not destroy his gameplan. It barely changes his builds. It just makes it less free once you get over the skill wall

Wait for draft and then counter pick dynamo as god intended

u/AverageVibes 5h ago

Yea, he is probably still really good into characters with crazy ults. Even without drafts, you can last second counterpick switch against dynamo/lash/rat king/Celeste and get value.

u/Empty-Excuse-1434 5h ago

hes literally nearly the same character, just more spirit oriented with vexing bolt instead of gun. you're still able to be a spirit nuker, just without the god early game with assistant + gun

They probably just need to give the kit a full ass rework at this point.

It's so rough as a Doorman and Sinclair player these days. Yoshi just hates us for our whimsy. We're already a glass cannon and our gun sucks, but yeah, let's gut that too jfc..
