So, in class after I finished my work I started thinking about Lol and jungling. I decided I wanted to try sivir jungle cause ricochet would help massively against raptors(that's the only reason)
this is my build thoughts.
the build is in no particular order.
I have not tested it yet but I will soon.
any thoughts?
EDIT:
may replace the phantom dancer!
2nd Edit:after reading your comments I decided that this is more optimal
what are new thoughts
Commenting so I can stay in the loop on this one. I just want to see the consensus because I've thought about it before (primarily for the ult initiation.
You're probably better off replacing the Runaan's with an essence reaver as your second item: as is, the build has a ton of AS but lacks any AD until you build Bloodthirster, and Hurricane is a meh item on Sivir because it doesn't help her waveclear and her W is basically a better version of it.
the reason sivir isn't played jungle is because of how squishy she is and how easy it is to kill her in her jungle, Yes she has a spell sheild like Nocturne and yes junglers are squishy early but most junglers usually get more tanky lategame and have some type of buff to help them in the jungle Ex. Nocturne gets attackspeed with his w, Amumu gets tanky putting points into his e, Rengar gets a extra empowered auto, Vi and Kha are really good at clearing camps with singular camps. You also would want to think about ganking potential. Sivir doesn't seem to have any ganking potential unless the lane is pushed out to the enemy or your lane you are trying to gank has a good cc. Sivir might have gank potential with frozen mallet + Ulti. A suggestion i would make is to maybe switch beserker's greaves with boots of swiftness/mobility to help you get into lane and get the kill. Also I would consider switching shiv or phantom dancer with Frozen mallet which would make yourself tankier for the lategame rather than you basically having two adc's maybe replace your crit items with tanker items and take bloodrazor as your jungle item and botrk than get tanky items Frozen Mallet another tank item Boots + Guinsoos for the double of the Percent Max health dmg on hit. This build might have potential if played right but it would be hard to pull off. I may be bronze but i have started climbing out of it this season when i started playing jg/top. and i have enjoyed playing off meta picks in blind pick ex ap bard jg, ap brand jg, kata jg, kass jg. My suggestion would be to try doing a solo clear is a custom/practice mode first than move to blind pick and see how you can do against usually normal junglers (sometimes they may be picking nonmeta jglers too) an example of something i noticed i counter is khazix as ziggs jg because ziggs can clear slightly fast with q spam w+e also his ult is really good for a unexpected gank
She won't clear as well as you expect, is extremely weak to invades or counter ganks, and her own ganking potential is really low. She also needs a lot of income to become strong which is hard from the jungle, I would not personally recommend it but i mean you could probably make it work below plat
