Sivir Bug
I'm surprised there's not a thread of this yet. It's actually kind of a big deal. Basically Sivir's spellshield also shields all damage while it's triggered by blocking a spell. Which is obviously pretty busted as it's a mini Kayle ulti.

Why isn't this getting more attention?
I think Riot was aware of the bug during LCS - they informed players of the bug before gameplay started.
Its not getting much attention and Sivir is enabled in the LCS because the bug is actually very small.
Sivir's spell shield was always able to block multiple spells if they landed within a frame or two of each other. I personally learned about this in season 1. However, if you actually watch the video, he claims it can block auto-attacks. If you continue watching, he only uses champions with enhanced auto-attacks. Sona passive, corki passive etc.
This may seem unimportant, but I did some testing and found that the bug only occurs on enhanced auto-attacks. A friend and I used Sona and was able to replicate the bug with her Q and passive (which was expected because spell shield can block Sona's passive). However, we were never able to replicate it with a normal auto from Sona. It is important to note that we had Sona run 0 runes and 0 masteries.
Basically, he found a bug with Sivir's spell shield and some enhanced auto's. Spell shields have always been able to block multiple spells. Don't be fooled in thinking its some game breaking bug when in reality its pretty small. The bug is being able to block enhanced autos like it was blocking 2 spells, not the ability to block 2 spells itself.
