500 range is often not enough to get in range for all 3 aas even on live, which is why she’s building lethality no? Just like how Xayah built lethality cus no range to aa and set up e, and how jinx was able to take over the meta with 725 aa range. This feels like it misses why these champs are being pushed towards lethality by forcing them into Crit with ratios and Crit scalings

Is the auto reset kept on her w? I love that e procs passive. That’s going to be sick

the changes are super sick im hella happy

more of general questions but

• what was the main motivation behind tweaking spellshield to restore health and not mana? im curious how it will play out in team fights
• is sivir still tied to essence reaver mana wise? ik a lot of ppl had gripes abt new ER on her

Was the new Sivir W code difficult or did you guys manage to reuse like old Ryze and Brand code maybe? Also curious why you guys want to reuse the Kog'Maw W power paradigm with Sivir even though the former rarely gets picked partially because of him being so reliant on his W cd.

Hi RayYongii, I’m excited to see one of my favorite champs getting modernized. In specific, I’m happy to see Sivir getting pushed back in the direction of crit builds. My question: Is Sivir’s identity as the marksman that pushes the fastest something that is trying to be maintained through this update? Personally what initially drew me to the champ was the ability to outpush the opposing laners to siege down a tower and I always saw the mana refund as an important part of that.

I'll withhold judgement till it goes live, But this seems incredibly impractical. Live Sivir might only get the 3 bounces per cast, but at 13 that CD is short. And Sivir being a short range ADC this allowed her to get into auto range, blow 3 fast autos and get back to safety if needed. No 500 range ADC is going to be able to just stand in range and auto the whole time to get those bounces. This update will be very powerful in silver and below and awful above that where teams will spread away from bounces more effectively. Mana cost and no refund on E will make her mana issues worse, not better even with the cost reduction of Q. As a Sivir main I could not be more disappointed by what I read in this update.

It seems you're trying to turn her into a scaling AOE/utility marksman, am I right in thinking that?

I can't help but feel that the current numbers will leave her on the weak side. She won't scale as well as Tristana (who even has some very good early game matchups to scale faster) or Jinx (who is quite safe while farming) for starters. Sivir now scales but has sacrificed any hope of winning any matchups in lane. A scaling champion who gets bullied is going to have a rough time. She also lacks the range of either of those champions so is far less safe throughout the entire game including when she's scaled up with items.

Sivir in general may run into issues with the identity you're pushing. On one hand her kit wants you to get into fights and kite (500 range, W bounce, E to block critical spells, R movespeed) but on the other hand she is going to be jumped on by people and get blown up. It feels like she may fall into the situation where she's rarely picked because a...

How do you feel about infinite / refreshing ults because it seems to be happening with a lot of these updates and new releases zeri/Olaf/ahri and now sivir, is there an intention to make it so that team fights definitely result in one team running down the other team after getting one or two picks? They all seem to add mobility too.

With the base damage and AD scaling decreases on Q and W, isn't her laning going to be atrocious?

What is the dark sivir tech from playtests, have kraken + lethal felt better or are there better crit builds

Originally posted by cancerBronzeV

Probably because they want to make first half of Q more reliable, but not the second half.

the spell effects part is spooky for things like Aery, comet, and scorch in lane.

Because it increases her damage too much or because it allows her to land damage too easily? W the wave and if it bounces to an enemy and deals an extra 65 damage?

Also, sorry if I missed it but if she's too strong, what would do you think you'd hit?

This makes sense in a vaccume, but you have to to take into account that a 500 range adc often finds it very hard to auto attack more than 3 times. It’s very rare to see a crit Sivir free hitting the enemy team the same way you’d see a Jinx do the same. I’ll trust you guys on this one though, and I’m looking forward to the changes!

Hi 👋🏼

Sivir is one of my favorite champs because of her satisfying AoE and I think the changes look pretty cool!

I'm worried how she'll feel early game though... I understand that she'll probably be even more of a teamfight monster with these new changes but the mana nerfs and bAD reductions on spells make me fear that she'll feel pretty awful to play until like 2 items at the earliest whereas right now she's pretty enjoyable as soon as you pick up a few components.

Not asking for buffs or anything like that, I guess I would just like to know if you guys are planning on balancing her around having a bad laning phase to offset her strong mid-late or is the goal for her not to feel much different early game and you still might shift some power around depending on how the testing goes?

What was the overall goal for this Sivir update?

It seems like her early game is going to be quite a power down for a mid-late game increase.

Can you explain why you guys think the E mana refund was a bad design? Not mad or anything just curious.

as a casual sivir enjoyer I'm a bit worried about the heavy nerfs to utility in favor of damage; I feel like her ability to quickly rotate and disengage with R was a large part of her value over other AOE hypercarries and reducing that means she's going to overlap more with Jinx and Twitch, who still have less utility but more than make up for that with the range Sivir lacks. Wont this mean she'll be more easily replaced by other picks when/if it's not a good meta for her, or if her numbers are just worse at the time?

In playtests, how does she not go OoM? Is she bound to PoM+Manaflow? Do you envision her building Tear? Tear+ER? Doran's Ring, Tear, ER?

Have you considered making the W bounces apply on-hits? Or, at least, proc spell effects? It's hilarious to me that a level two Sivir with a Jungle item just dies killing Raptors. Not that Jungle Sivir is on your radar, but it's one of only a handful of abilities that don't activate Tooth and Nail when it hits enemies.

Is the AD reduction on W from 90% to 30% not ridiculously harsh? Love the detection of the changes but genuinely concerned that this will completely kill her late game damage, especially considering her early game damage is also decreasing significantly.
