What needs to be done with Sivir?

Sivir is an extremely old champion in League of Legends. Sivir used to be a key piece to many team comps in Season 3.4. and 5. Now it seems as if Sivir is only pickable in extremely selective compositions. If the enemy picks Twitch, Draven, Vayne, Xayah,and Lucian it seems to be more than just a "rough matchup." Against the majority of adcs, Sivir can't really spell shield anything significant. Perhaps an Ashe arrow, or Draven E, but she simply doesn't win the trades. Many adcs have their power spike at around 2 or 3 items, Sivir's doesn't seem to really appear until she has 4 or 5. And even when she spikes the majority of adcs still out-damage her. Unless their entire team is tanky, why pick Sivir? And wouldn't you just go Vayne instead? You can win your lane, you can give it your all, but it has become clear that Sivir is outclassed not in player ability, simply in game mechanics. You can respond and tell me I'm wrong, but go ahead and tell me what you think. I think Sivir has a strong kit for past seasons, but with the additions of new champions, and changes Sivir doesn't seem to be involved. People love playing Sivir. They spend hours practicing their champion. This game that's all about champion balance, seems to make certain champions unplayable. Why is this? Please do respond, I'm curious about people's opinions on this matter. Thanks, LeBlanc Prince

I still think Sivir is good and can be relevant. She's seen a few pro games to.

The real question is, can Sivir be top tier with her current kit? Now if that were the question, I would honestly say no. Sivir is still viable but until she gets a rework she most likely won't ever be regarded as a top tier ADC.

IMO she's pretty good right now, better then she was through season 6.

Her issue is exactly as you described, match up. Sivir is good vs. ADCs that cast spells and supports like blitz and thresh. Unforunately however, this is an enchanters meta and most of the meta ADCs don't have much you can spell shield. She's good but she's niche because of the overwhelming popularity in enchanters and ADCs that outdamage her early and scaled even hard then her late (like twitch, draven, and trist).

Honestly, I wish her spell shield worked more like morgannas.
