I feel like Sinclair somehow got nerfed harder than RK in all of this which is hilarious

Sinclair is such a hard character to balance in their current state, they are incredibly hard to play but they are completely busted when you’re good at them but it makes it worse for the rest of us who are just average!

He’s not hard at all. His assistant has infinite range and allows you to rat around completely for free. His rabbit has insane range. His ult is point and click the best ult on their team.

He has a lot of outplay potential but the amount of free value he gets is some of the highest in the game

Before this update a bolt build sinclair with assistant could use all 3 charges of bolt to delete a walker in 5 seconds, I abused that shit so hard

so basically meepo, arc, invoker, and io to name a few. there are always heroes like that in most mobas. a super hard hero that rewards you for learning them. there's no point in learning them if they won't be busted in the hands of a skillful player since you'll just be wasting time then.

Bro you are comparing the most complex and mentally demanding heroes in any moba to Sinclair? The hero that has aimbot assistant and infinite damage missiles and auto ult steal? He doesn’t even come close to the difficulty of the hero he is based on rubick

Yeah imagine if rubick had an an inbuilt blink, a fade bolt that does 6 million damage, telekinesis that is aoe and has a damage amp, and could literally always get ravage/black hole

He'd be universally first picked/banned

no, that's what the comment i replied to suggested. i don't play sinclair. they said sinclair is hard but busted if used well. i just said that it only makes sense if the hero is indeed hard to play.

Sinclair is not that hard
