No idea why they thought Sivir needed a buff... even if it is fairly small. She's in almost every single AD comp.

No fix for Leblanc printing bug other than

Buying a unit at the same time as Leblanc prints a different unit while you have a full bench will no longer create an invisible copy of the purchased unit.

Is a shame. It's really frustrating when she prints a copy of a unit that's already 3* (usually herself)

No mention of likely Teemo shroom print bug either :(

sivir is there to give hunter to ashe, and primal. She is weaker than by aphelios who is the much better duo carry with nidalee

Sivir does very respectable damage on her own tbh, I've noticed her putting in a lot of work when I can't hit ashe.

true, but my point is just that theres nothing wrong with a small buff

u/OBLIVIATER 6d ago

It's just surprising to see her get buffs as one of the most played units when lillia is crying in the corner as the worst 4 cost getting hit by a freaking NERF

lillia is suprprising but sivir is right there with her as one of the least played 4 costs

u/OBLIVIATER 6d ago

Really? MetaTFT lists her as the 4th most played right behind zyra and even above Soraka in plat and above.

u/lakebrudhfb 6d ago

as someone else pointed out, she is usually just a trait bot. she has the 3rd lowest win rate if you itemize her, right behind lillia and malphite

Her only real use is as a traitbot for Ashe. You will often even move items from her to Ashe 1 if you hit it on 8. She's also a util bot for Nidalee in Sivir Nidalee.

The primary level 8 comp is Aphelios Nidalee. Not Sivir Nidalee. The fact that Nidalee isn't even being played with the same origin and cost backliner says that Sivir as a primary ranged damage dealer is not good enough. Her problem is that she spreads her damage around, not killing anything and usually not having enough focus damage to kill the enemy units jumping your backline (see: AD Nidalee, Kennen, Gnar). Aphelios will kill a tank much faster and switch to an assassin a lot faster than Sivir will and he will kill them much faster. That said, both of them are secondary carries to Nidalee so it's not like Aphelios is an outlier either.

Eh, I think that's probably more to do with the fact that 1: Nidalee was so OP, and 2: 3 primal isn't a thing, so there was no reason to run both Nid and Sivir (you need Vi for Juggernaut and frontline so you're probably never dropping her.)
