All GLOBAL SINCLAIR BUGS. You need to rework his skills! THATS WHY

Okay, I'm using translator a little bit :)
I'll be adding one example at a time, but other videos are collected at the end of the post.

Sinclair had major issues with ALL of his abilities since release.
Let's start with the first skill: Bolts

1) Bolts(1-10 videos):
His bolts ignore enemy and object hitboxes and fly through (NOT ALL ENEMIES, I THINK ONLY TALL HEROES LIKE ABRAMS, BEPOP)
View attachment boltsTopSide.mp4

His bolts are misdirected, mostly flying into shrines and other neutrals (1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 videos)
View attachment priorityonshrines.mp4

After recent updates, his bolts sometimes fly through objects, sometimes crash into them (6-8 videos)

2) Assistant
His assistant also targets the shrines through the walls (13 video)
View attachment autoaimonshrines.mp4

His assistant cannot aim his bolt at an enemy, object, or neutral (14 video)
View attachment fuckboltsandassist.mp4

His assistant since release ignores HEAD of enemy, object, or neutral (11 example, 15, 16 videos)

His assistant can aim trough object, but bolts can't do that (12 video)
View attachment aimthroughguardbutnobolts.mp4

His assistant has wrong auto aim (17 video)

I didn't say about skybox bug cause idc lol


3) Rabbit Hex
His hex doesn't work properly with walls xD (18-19 videos)
View attachment againhex.mp4

4) ULTIMATE bliat

Idc about Vindicta's ult, but HOW he can't kill shiv lol, first he hits with spirit, but when the ult is about to work, he hits with true(idk, like geist's ult) damage

OK, THAT'S ALL.
We can also talk about his balance.

Why does he need a long bolt travel time (2 seconds)? It's incredibly destructive in buildings, reducing damage by a factor of 4.

Why is his bolt's damage so high at 8k networth, but before 8k his bolt is so weak? 1 hit for 80 average damage on a 24-second cooldown. Talon has a 17-second cooldown, more damage, and a good upgrade.

Give Sinclair a proper balance, increase his min damage scale and decrease his max damage scale, decrease the damage-duration scale, give him a proper skill upgrade. He doesn't need the -25% fire rate (the slow will be better) on Tier 1 upgrade. Reduce the cooldown on his first skill, but change Tier 2. Increase his redirect speed, but not the initial one.
Overall, his bolts need a nearly complete rework; the bolts deal high damage, but they can easily be dodged by a jump. His bolts should have a small AoE (dome) height.

Why is the assist's uptime so short (6 seconds and 40 cooldown)? Increase the duration by at least 2 seconds or reduce the cooldown.
His assist only needs one thing... pressing 2+Mouse3 TPs your assist towards you. This won't break the balance, but it will make the character 100 times more enjoyable. Fights don't always happen where you placed him; an enemy can move behind a wall, and you're missing out on HUGE DAMAGE because your assist can't fire a bolt or shoot at him. You can't farm properly with him in the mid-late game anyway. If you move to another nearby camp, your assist will remain there.

The other skills are fine, but the first two skills... hopoo, why? Why do you hate your creation so much? It's not like he's Frankenstein!

I've been playing this hero since release, but every time I pick him up, I feel bad for him. His gameplay depends not on skill, but on luck: whether an enemy will jump, whether an assistant will be placed correctly, whether the rabbit will hit a wall pixel. The character is full of bugs and stupid decisions, but no one has fixed them a year later...

Hopoo, Yoshi, I hope you read this and do something about him in your Major Update.

FIXED TOMMOROW:
Bolts no longer have priority on shrines and neutrals. Now they fly 100% correctly. It's happened! But the assistant still shoots at shrines and camps
View attachment 2026-01-10 02-38-47.mp4

Bolts no longer fly through large enemies (like Abrams, Bebop)
View attachment 2026-01-10 02-33-38.mp4

Bolts no longer fly through objectives outside of combat (but this was a very nice feature because now you can't hit an enemy behind an objective) :(

OK, BOLTS ARE GOOD NOW, but not balanced :)
 
I tried to master him in December. I have a good 33% winrate right now, and I can concur. The bolts are so messy. The aimbot system is so whacky it's unplayable. He doesn't even need a buff, simply fix his abilities and he'll be goated once more.

(If someone care, I recommend playing CC support style. Max 3 and AoE and echo shard that bunny. Good stuff)

I agree, I've spent a lot of time playing him, and I like his abilities and how they should work in theory, but it's frustrating that they're broken. the fact that he's sometimes useless because for example Shiv's ultimate, which should finish off opponents, doesn't work on him or other characters. Sad
 
one more bug with MO
by Pilow64
Sinclair vs moa&krill: seems a bit wacky(Def doesn't feel this is intended)
-they both gets stacks when stealing his ult whether its from moes ulting or Sinclairs(copy of moe's).
-If I ult a moe&Krill and he dies I get a +50 health but he does as well for his own death. Seen below
View attachment 74627
-after some testing it seems if the two ult within the same time frame of the ult being used and the 3 seconds after both get the +50 health not matter who they kill.
-moe&krill don't get stacks if Sinclair takes his ult and kills someone with it if moe&krill are not ulting.
:example ---in a game I ulted paradox with his ult killed them we both got the +50 then he ulted my friend(warden) and killed him and we both got the +50 from it) Seen below match id:50701248
View attachment 74626
CAN BE HARD TO SEE LOOK AT MAX HEALTH AND +50 POP-UP
-I don't have a second person available for testing not sure if it is map wide(I know very unlikely) but could be helpful for de-bugging it.


Sinclair vs talon: Works as intended it seems(maybe I'm not the dev)
-Sinclair does gets permanent spirit stacks and it doesn't share with talon like it does with moe&krill +50.

Sinclair vs Vindicta: after stealing the first time works fine(maybe I'm not the dev)
-I know not technically a stat building ult.
-only gets one charge even if I have rapid recharge for the first steal of the game. still get the souls bonus with kills on it(which I would assume is intended).
-at the start of the game its not that big of a deal but if I run into her late game, never seeing her, and copy I don't get the full stacks if I have rapid re-charge.

These are the only stat building ults in the game. I don't include Mina because you would need her 3 ability to even be able to stack her ult.

Devs do as you wish with that information.
 
i was quicker hehe
(few more lists, old thread but can still apply)
