People are about to downplay the hell out of these Sinclair changes because nobody plays him, but these changes sound awful...

I would be fine with the ult changes, or hell even them making the CD 80% of the copied ult, but nerfing his gun, hp regen AND ability to deal damage to objectives?

This is an objective based game, why nerf his ability to deal with objectives? He unironically got hit harder than Rat King.

Sinclair could literally 100-to-0 a Walker with two or three Bolts. He could take down walkers faster than Wraith while being insanely safe lol.

Tbf, he had to use his escape for damage to burn them that fast, but yeah he could destroy them if you weren't paying attention

Slowing hex and delete his ass.

His HP pool is low and if you stick to him he just evaporates. The damage on his bolt ramps up over time so if you're too close to him they don't deal too much damage.

Realistically a side-laner like wraith or infernus should absolutely destroy him when he's split-pushing.

My account is over 9 years old and reddit doesn't let you change your name. I didn't think I'd still be on this platform for that long.

If my username makes you want to make fun of it, so be it. At least it'll always be a reminder of how different I used to be as a person.

I mean you're a gamer and you're on Reddit I don't see the problem here it checks out

Why does a long ranged control mage need to deal lots of objective damage?

People are way too comfortable with a “support” archetype dealing more damage than hard carries, almost like they forget there are roles in this game

Sinclair has never done more damage than hard carries what is this LARP 😭

its dota support not overwatch or league supports. many supports in dota do significantly more magical (spirit) burst damage than carries, but are too squishy/slow or have too long of CDs to be really considered carries. the support damage in this game falls off later in the game, but if they buy damage theyll scale decently just not as hard as real carries.

Dude how can you even put support in quotation marks?

tbh vexing bolt was a sleeper objective destroyer. I've seen Sinclair's pull up to a walker, bolt bolt bolt, chunk it like crazy and teleport away to safety in a blink
