Hello everyone and welcome to my moment when i talk about mechanics of champions.

So first off i notice that when it comes to Sivir not only does contain one of the most lowest ban rate in league of legend but the same would go with popularity rate too. I figure with this and the new buff coming to Sivir, that it is time for me to do a experiment to make her my main. I did my research and found our that her based stats on her mobility alone is incredible. Her standing with the highest mobility in the line of ADC, beside maybe Miss Fortune (no i didn't do the calculation for her W, i just know her based mobility 325, and can go up to maybe 380? idk).

Now I know why she weak, much like vayne, she contain no real threat til late game. Unless she gains a few kills she will have a hard time since her Q W are very mana costy for her (Q being 70-110 at max rank, and her W being 60 mana at all rank). Since her mana pool is 284 at lv 1 to 1134 at 18, i cant use her mana that much til further into late game, none the less saving half of the mana for emergency is vital to not get gank from the jungler. and keeping your spell shield (E) up to remove cc is also vital too. Now with that off the side we can get down with a small experiment that i want to consist on doing.

Her damage (with high enough AD) can chunk the crap out of alot of champions like bruisers, marksman, assassins and mages. tanks on the other hand tend to scuffle at the damage and cc the crap out of you and kill you, since ya know, TANK HURT. So Here the build below and part of the idea for runes

item 3812 item 3071 item 3046 item 3031 item 1001 item 3142 (not in this order)

Runes: Marks: 9x AD (8.5 bonus AD Seals: unknown glyph: unknown quintessence: 3x % of mobility (4.5% mobility)

The reason for seals and glyph being unknown is cause me and lack of decisions for the 2 runes. Sivir still depends on some attack speed early game to farm HOWEVER if i convert that into attack speed, she wont have armor nor magic resistance, my thought is what more important farm or defense. Right now im gonna check her farming after im done posting this, to see where i need in attack speed or sustain, her early game is the weakest and using this build be effective

Questions AND Answers:

Q: Why get quints of mobility?

A: Right now she does stand with the highest mobility However she contains no CC, in able for her to either chase or flee she needs alot of mobility. Since she gains mobility from her ULT and her Passive (30 - 50 scaling in levels) With this addititional 4.5% will give her Alot of mobilitly to get away from most fights or even catch up to them. gaining a bit of mobility when needed to.

Q: why not full crit?

A: There two different logic to this, one most ADC i see now do half crits now. getting a IE and Attack speed/crit item and building the rest AD which I thought at first a bad idea (concider half of your attack being only crit if possible) But then I found out that it the passive from the IE and other attack speed items are what makes them really good. so while that part is a fact, it dont mean the same to Sivir. Now it True that her W can critical strike if the first hit crits BUT all the damage with crit isnt much since her W contains only 70% total AD, and with her Q having a 70% to 110% ad ratio at max ranked and some based damage to add with it, which makes her Q more effective early game to late game

(if any questions comes up ill gladly answer them and add them to the post if i found it useful to let others know of this)

Concerns and Curious:

Right now i still trying to figure our what keystone and what mini buffs need from the masteries set, thunder lord, death fire touch and warlords bloodlust is good but im not 100% sure if one is more important then the others, im still trying to figure this out before this patch is gone and the patch 7.15 comes in. This is where you guys come in. i want her to be really playable and I also know she hard to play. but with this build i think she will do good in this season.

My question:

From what i can see her W also hits others, does lifesteal count that too? I need proof if it true or false, dont get me wrong i trust you, but i want to make sure. I believe fact over logic. Again i thank you for your time to look at this,

Oh and I use to run Mobi quints on Sivir mid but that was prework. Right now it is really hard to cancel auto attack animations with her base attack speed and the mastery attack speed. Most adc champs need around .69 and higher to feel more fluid. Also her ricochets do not apply lifesteal, only deaths dance will heal her from ricochet targets.
