The State of Sivir

Posted on at 11:54 AM by Moobeat

Being worked on presently.

Possibilities of a re-work... unsure. I tested a version where her W was an on-next-hit so she didn't just AoE down entire teams, but it felt bad in that implementation.

Sivir has two problems that we'd like to mitigate or solve before we really want her to be a top carry:

Her side pushing is ridic. She just runs up a lane and you have to defend her immediately or lose two turrets. Obviously side pushing exists in LoL, but champions who do it with ridiculous speed and/or safety are just frustrating (See: Twisted Fate)

Her teamfight has the potential to be old Twitch x2. Sure it doesn't crit and such, but it's always on and comes with a movespeed steroid and a lot of safety with spell shield and such.

Now, personally, I think that issue #2 is more of an "identity" and is not so problematic when she doesn't have crowd control, it doesn't crit, etc. However, one thing I will tell you guys is that it's unlikely to just see just "Sivir buffs." She will lose some power in places that don't really affect her individually, but gain power in things you do care about as a Sivir.
