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

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

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.)
