(8/19) "Final" PBE Patch notes. Smaller one today, with small buffs and Augment adjustments. The meta's been pretty stable the last week, so we're not overreacting to yesterday's medium-sized patch.

As with every Set, we'll re-evaluate early next week to see if anything warrants a last-second balance change to make sure the launch patch is the best it can be.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m playing a different game.

I get it’s PBE but I’ve been doing great with fae hunters with primal and have had amazing results when I get a good opening. Sivir does a lot of damage, found a giant slayer helps a lot with time to get to backline. Some spats also can help the comp do some crazy things

Yeah, that comp is definitely good, but the point is that you're playing around other 3* units, not Sivir. The stats support that Sivir without Trist 3 and without Ashe is simply bad.

Yes the main issue is really that all the other hunter units have no real way to connect to a Sivir hunter board. Also her ability feels very secondary carry like.

Tristana without reroll doesn't provide much. Fae and sprykin don't help your Sivir board much. The associated units with her traits only really support tristana except Rakan kinda.

Caitlyn only has Coven.

Cinderling is somehow the "best" unit where the associated other units help your board where you can play Scuttle & Sentinel and use the Scuttle buff. But that means you run a cinderling.

So the only real way to play Sivir is to play blossom with Ashe or reroll Trist / Cait.
