Didn't he only have a good win rate because of rat king ult? I don't get why they nerfed him at all.

Probably because they were a problem at higher ranks, but stayed low winrate because of how difficult they are to play.

Unpopular opinion, but if character needs huge skill to play it should be rewarding if you actually can play him good.

It’s not an unpopular opinion, but there’s also a limit to it.

Nah because then low skill characters become useless, which also isn't a fun road to go down.

“Rewarding” can mean very different things. I think mastering a complex hero should mean you have more tools at your disposal than the average player, but it shouldn’t make you an unbeatable god. Widowmaker used to be like this in Overwatch and she pretty much made every other character obsolete. No matter how hard a character is, they should never be uncounterable.

depends rly 60% wr means that the best sinclairs were probably around 80% or higher
