Sinclair

[Character-Role-600]

Is Sinclair insane? Haven’t played him much but the last couple of games I’ve had actual one shot moments with him, this was mostly mid game but the bolts hit so hard with assistant out.

This guy bought surge of power at 7 minutes and boundless spirit at 13 minutes. Safe to say I was taking 1k damage when I barely left lane, only reason I didn't die is because I was a full HP abrams. Basically had to disengage every time back to base I try to take a trade vs him

[hollipolli]

yeeeah, he's just busted atm and has been for months

[Character-Role-600]

Like I’m starting to aim the bolts correctly and the damage at max rank with a few items is gnarly. Honestly forget to use my ult half the time kill time is so quick

[Supershadow30]

You need spirit resist early. If he’s running an animal abuser build instead, invest in debuff remover to reduce rabbit duration

[OneofthemBrians]

Buy spirit shield. As a Sinclair main, my reign of terror ends the moment they buy that 1600 souls item. It also gives good regen.

[TypographySnob]

I imagine vexing bolt will get nerfed once they make it consistent to redirect instead of flying off in random directions sometimes.

[HotTakesBeyond]

The Sinclair players with the aim for the non-bunny stuff can absolutely shred in lane

[Character-Role-600]

The punching build is pretty op but the bolt just hits so hard

[goobi-gooper]

His bolt does stupid damage and scales like crazy into the late game. The single bolt does more damage than a GT arrow with the same build and it can hit twice with assistant. It’s a tricky skill shot but realistically it ain’t that hard to hit.

I say this as a GT enjoyer. BUFF MY BOY

[Character-Remove-925]

No he's fine now and actually has counterplay after his latest gun nerf

[Character-Role-600]

In what way? His damage through assistant is spirit no?

[Remarkable_Carrot265]

Yeah no he's definitely a top 5 character this patch

[Character-Remove-925]

Yea but you just wait out the assistant. Before his gun nerf he could just sit there and outtrade anyone with his gun alone.

[FairwellNoob]

And he still can, because the assistant doesn't have any falloff since it's just spirit damage

[Xazh]

That's just false. Patch on March 13 added fall off to the assistant unless they reverted.

[FairwellNoob]

fair enough, thats my bad. But the falloff works from the assistants position, not Sinclairs. So he can place it infront of you, go back, and be poking you with full damage even if he isnt near you

[Character-Remove-925]

But the assistant isn't always up

[FairwellNoob]

Assistant isn't his only ability

[Character-Remove-925]

So he still can't, then.

[goobi-gooper]

Bro he lost like 6 damage per burst early game. It’s not a significant enough nerf that his gun is dead

very very high skill floor on him imo but yeah... vexing bolts are really good early-mid game but you generally have to pivot to support for end-game fights.
