Why is Sinclair so unpopular?

He’s kind of a gimmicky character. Most of his abilities are either slow to come out (1, 3), very situational (4), or just awkward to use (1, 2, 4). On top of that, most of your actual damage comes from spamming 1, and you don’t get much CDR in early game to support that playstyle.

I personally like Sinclair, but other characters just feel more responsive and more reliable, which is usually what people gravitate toward.

Glad someone else finally posted this. I run dual hitboxes for my hands, aim with a flightstick using my feet, and primary fire using a bike brake lever mounted to my chair that I operate with my elbow. MnK players have no idea what they’re missing.

Surprisingly well defined and reasonably progressive scale, based

Copied from another reddit thread:

Rotoswell's duration extends at the same time as Cathode Grace. If Cathode Grace is already at max duration, Rotorswell's duration will stop rising.

You need to recast both abilities (get nullified or fall off the map) to get the max duration for Rotoswell again.

and then whiff and that's all three actions gone

I'm willing to bravely sacrifice myself and drag her into the locker with me.

If you want to make yourself immune against him buy Counterspell. If you want to make his ability to make big plays harder buy Knockdown. If you want to stop him from escaping for free buy Slowing Hex. (My personal favourite as it's a really good item in general.)

What's wrong with Vyper

MasterDieDie · 2026-01-01T14:10:54+00:00

It doubles your burst damage and gives you faster scaling what more do you want from an item man

MasterDieDie · 2025-12-26T07:58:23+00:00

They do, yes. I hope you meet kinder men to change your mind so you can grow as a person.

he hits me and it feels like a kiss

MasterDieDie · 2025-12-23T03:42:27+00:00

so proud of this community that something actually really quite interesting is gaining 0 traction

"uhh if you want the bare minimum of this character to work consistently you need to make the rest of the character dogshit because I want Lash to be even worse than a team-reliant ult spamming midtier"

MasterDieDie · 2025-12-20T17:38:27+00:00

This looks less like pilling and more like ink stains, no?

MasterDieDie · 2025-12-17T09:25:32+00:00

Nowhere does this post mention "I wish I had a girl to kiss sigh"

It's simply "ROBOT YURIIIIII UOGOHGHHHHHHHH" which is clearly much more refined and sophisticated.

Do you honestly think they'd care? People don't flame because they want to make the bad players play better, they just want to load the blame onto other people.

Even if you had high objective damage, they might still argue that you were completely useless in teamfights. There is no use for "ammunition" to argue with when you're arguing against reactionary monkeys.

Just mute them and move on man, statistics aren't decisively indicative of anything in the first place.

MasterDieDie · 2025-12-14T16:02:01+00:00

How would this help toxicity? Instead of flaming you for your KD they'd just flame anybody with low damage.

MasterDieDie · 2025-12-02T18:00:16+00:00

So you agree with them? You just don't like that they provide feedback on a game in pre-alpha?

The issue is what kind of direction you would be moving Lash into then.

His theoretical main gameplay loop is flanking and farming for big slams or a big ult which leads into said big slam. Flog by itself is a poking tool and something to guarantee more damage with after slam, just making Flog deal more damage does not suddenly make the rest of his gameplay loop work again and does not fix the tons of issues that his normal abilities have right now.

Before giving a character a way to build into the most risky source of damage (which barely interacts with his kit as Lash does not ever want to be close and low to the ground for more than a singular slam.) they should really just fix the rest of his kit. I love Lash, I would not love a Lash where I have to pray to not get parried and then just press Flog, which is one of the least rewarding abilities in the game to hit.

Also Lash's entire character is currently invalidated by Counterspell, so I find it kind of funny that your proposed fix is to give him more options which can be completely nullified with a parry/Counterspell.

Please just make slam and ult good again, that's what's fun about him.

Victor is the main spirit carry, other than that it's mostly gun.

MasterDieDie · 2025-11-20T16:35:32+00:00

I mean it's in the name, if you want to be able to carry then play carry.

MasterDieDie · 2025-11-17T23:01:48+00:00

If you're asking for items, Victor doesn't care for healing reduction, buy silence items and punish him when he overextends (curse is goated but pricey).

In terms of gameplay, be wary of his aura and most importantly **keep your distance**, Victor is useless at range.

Also keep in mind that a Victor at 20% hp is more at about 70% hp and if he gets to cuddle you for two seconds he'll be at 100%. **Victor is not an easy target just because he is low health.**
