Can we be honest for a moment? Why does Sivir get a spellshield, how does it fit thematically?

If this lady is basically a warrior princess who throws crazy damage critting boomerangs, how does a spellshield even fit in her kit? It makes literally zero sense, is too OP with no counterplay, and should be replaced.

We're going to have a mystical Dragon who comes from the Centre of the Universe, and will be killed by:

  • Graves a shotgun
  • Katarina teeny blades
  • TahmKench a tongue

Conclusion: Nobody gives a shit about "thematics" or w/e

I think you need to be given RP for this

too bad im broke

Nevertheless, a masterful way to put it

It's not really all that OP. It sounds like you are just looking for a reason to remove it honestly.

What reason do you have to not remove it? Just give her a small distance somersault or something, makes more sense, gives slight mobility, problem solved.

Her spellshield makes her unique, and it is probably more balanced than adding more mobility than her ult speedup to her.

Translation: I main Blitzcrank and I hate that I got counterpicked.

Siv has no burst without items, she's painfully slow in early game, and her build order (imo) is rough since she isn't getting LS until the 4th, maybe the 3rd item. Stop pretending every champ doesn't have counters.

first you complain about not fitting thematially and then you complain about being op ... sooo you don't care about thematically but you are compaining about the missing counterplay? ... it has a long cd and blocks 1 spell ... either bait it out or burn it with a low cd spell

it is basically a on key banshees

Her Q and E cost a tonne of mana for her in early game. It's to help her sustain alot more since her ult is utility based and only works very well while in teamfights. Can't leave her completely defenseless.

To point this out even further, Nocturne has a spell shield also, and it gives him increased attack speed momentarily, but lasts far less and has a higher cool down.

it let's her get into the thick of things and perhaps on the front line as a "warrior princess"

idk not that great haha,

but the counterplay is to get her to use it, and then use your ability. Or to break it with a less important ability so it doesnt eat your ult. Also it's pretty difficult for her to use it optimally during a cluttered fast paced teamfight. Requires some hefty micro-awareness and/or swift reaction time

By that logic: how does Leblanc's E fit into her theme ?
