Sivir tweaks

Sivir has a though time in the current meta where range is king. Her role is that of a mobile pusher. Yet ever since the attackspeed buff for allies has been removed from her ultimate it has become difficult for her to do her job. While her waveclear is good, she can't siege well due to her abysmal range.

In teamfights enemies most often are too splitt for her projectlies to bounce, while her steroid is too short and too weak to match tanks. Lategame her Q looses its use as well, having a high cooldown and damage numbers which by no means make up for a Tristana or Koggy auto attack it feels anything but impactful.

Taking allbthese all these things into account I believe that ahe could use some tweaking. The question is in what direction she should pushed. The two most obvious path would be AD carry or AD caster. Supportive carry would alao be an option though, by bringing her ultimate closer to what it used to be. I will add suggestions in another post, for now I'ld like to her your opinion on her.

AD carry: Sivir is relatively reliant on her Q, sadly it falls of lategame into a horrible state. It would be helpful if it had an ASP scaling, or maybe a crit scaling similar to Garen's E which does not add the full crir bonus but a part of it.

Another idea might be adding a crit chance to her bounce while either lowering the base damage, or add only a small bonus doe crit instead of the full value like suggested above.

AD caster: I managed to perform decently playing Sivir as an AD caster, however even mit 40% CDR her Q's cooldown feels much too high to be a conatant source of damage lategame

An interesting idea could be changing her ressource to "Flow" for some reason I feel this mechanic fits her very well, considering ahe is balanced around mobility and blades dancing around.

Changing her ressource might allow lowering her cooldown without getting into the usual Blue-Buff-Danger creating an unstoppable skillahot spammer.

Regardless of the change above I'ld like to see the interaction of her skill s being improved. An example could be a lowered cooldown on Q if you manage to block a spell successfully. Another option might be lowering her Q's cooldown for hitting champions with bouncers, promoting a play style that makes her seek poorl grouped enemies instead of using her W for the attackspeed buff only.

Support carry.

The most obvious change to get her back into this role might be reintroducing the ASP buff for allied units. Another option might aimply be lowering the Cooldown to make it more flexible, currently the numbers feeltuned considering how fast the movementspeed dropa and how low it stays.

I think Sivir is still fine. I agree that I definitely miss her old ult, the new one just isn't very helpful. I think the rest of her kit is balanced as is. Her range is fine, her W is fine, her tower sieging is fine. Her Q is great. Right now, she starts as an AD Caster and transitions to AD Carry throughout game. I'm okay with that. She's my third choice ADC, even with the nerf.
