Day 2 of asking about Sinister rebalancing

Late last year we got the following information during NTW/Silver Sable's balance update:

Mister Sinister

We're aware of a bug with Mister Sinister's Regeneration Rate, and its interaction with the Science portion of his Signature Ability and the Recovery Mastery. Due to this bug being live since his rework release, his rework being tuned around his current implementation, and since Regeneration is a core piece of his Survivability and Defender threat... this is something we would like to address during his Balance Review. While we don't have any details locked in, we're interested in checking in on how his current Regeneration Rate is playing out in the Battlerealm and will look to make changes based on what we're seeing. If we conclude that his Regeneration is already performing at target levels despite the Science portion of his sig providing no benefit, then swapping in a new functional ability is a potential course of action.

We're in the process of locking in a target build in Q1 2025 for his review and changes, and hope to have more details in our next balance update!


Since then (if I'm not mistaken) there's not been any further info, and with the last major update of Q1 this year being released a few days ago, I was wondering if the team had any details they could share on how the rebalancing is going?

    This will be one of the most delicate rebalancing champs ever if not the most. Sinister is immensely popular. He's r3 on countless rosters. Any nerf to him won't be taken well, particularly in the current climate.

    If he gets nerfed we demand compensation
    We?

    I think he is perfect right now
    No need for rebalance

    His regen could be a bit higher with his sig though

    Being that person who bumps an old thread. Any update that I have somehow missed?

    Is this the best time to try and get attention for a bug that’s not even very impactful?

    As of now it’s not fixed yet

    Considering I was just asking if there was an update since we're now past Q2 (and there's a ton of info always floating around in their trello, discord, forums and website) and wasn't asking for attention for the bug, I don't see the problem. Thanks @EdisonLaw

    Just trying to be helpful, wasn’t intending snark. They can’t keep the lights on right now, much less do anything like proactive fixes or long-promised corrections.
