How to counter SinclairHow to counter

Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight

Heroes that do best against Sinclair, the items that do best when Sinclair is on the enemy team, and the window to fight. Each number compares a hero's (or item's) result against Sinclair with its usual result, relative to how everyone does against Sinclair, so neither a strong counter-pick nor a strong Sinclair skews the list.

Their combo: Sinclair copies your best ultimate with Audience Participation, turns everyone within 6m into rabbits (they can barely act and take extra damage) with Rabbit Hex, then casts your own ult on you.

Beware: Spread out so one hex catches few of you. Diving him works (730 health), but Spectral Assistant can swap him to safety; Slowing Hex blocks that swap.
