Introduction
Sivir is a fast-pushing, utility AD Carry that, while having low range, has the ability to increase her movement speed as well as the movement speed of her teammates, as well as having a spellshield to absorb an ability, restoring her mana, giving her a level of safeness, not counting the safety she can gain by simply pushing the wave away from her and ejecting herself from the situation. However, Sivir has some weaknesses and issues that put her in a bad situation at times, let's talk about those.
Abilities
Passive – Fleet of Foot
Sivir gains a short burst of Movement Speed when she attacks an enemy champion.
Q – Boomerang Blade
Sivir hurls her crossblade like a boomerang, dealing damage each way.
W – Ricochet
Sivir's next few basic attacks will bounce to nearby targets, dealing reduced damage to secondary targets.
E – Spell Shield
Creates a magical barrier that blocks a single enemy ability cast on Sivir. She receives Mana back if a spell is blocked.
R – On The Hunt
Sivir leads her allies in battle, granting them a surge Movement Speed for a period of time. Additionally passively grants Sivir bonus Attack Speed while Ricochet is active.
Our Top Counter Tips For Sivir
It's not hard to outrange Sivir, it's actually difficult to NOT outrange Sivir, picking a champion that does so will force her onto the backfoot.
Make sure that you have a "Fodder" ability for her spell shield, or don't need abilities to kill her, before you extend to for kill.
Do not underestimate Ricochet damage, it adds up quickly.
If you dodge her boomerang blade, that's your chance to trade relentlessly. It has a long cooldown, and most Sivirs will max it first.
Don't leave your turret unattended. Sivir will kill it.
Champions That Counter Sivir
Vayne
Vayne doesn't really use abilities, that effect enemy champions except for Condemn, which leaves Sivir spellshield seeming lackluster. Also, she outscales Sivir and has fifty extra range on her, meaning that in this lane, Vayne gets to scale. A positioning error from Sivir also typically means she'll eat a Silver Bolts proc.
Kog'Maw
Outscales Sivir, and is autoattack reliant for the most part, thanks to his HP shred.
Twitch
Autoattack reliant, and can just wait for her to activate the spell shield, before he activates contaminate. He can even increase his autoattack range, from 550, which is still longer than hers.
Draven
Obligatory Draven inclusion. He's autoattack reliant and does way more damage than her, and can just bully her all around the lane, and kill her if she makes a mistake.
Itemization
Frozen Heart
Sunfire Cape
Build armor, a Frozen Heart is good, since it'll somewhat negate the additional attack speed she gets from activating Ricochet, otherwise health and armor is as good as it gets.
