Neat Tip for all Sivir players.

Absorbing an attack with her Spell Sheild can sometimes also save her allies! A prime example, and truthfully where I discovered this, was me and my Sivir pushed very far past bot's 1st turret. Enemy Ziggs mid sent his Ult bomb towards us, which would have killed me and otherwise left Sivir debilitated if not also dead. Sivir activated her Spell Sheild, and as the bomb landed, it just....

PEWF

No AoE splash dmg. Just. Gone. It went away completely , and saved me. I was most impressed and grateful! And thought that was a neat thing to know and be aware of and wanted to share this with everyone.

That... may be a bug. Sivir's shield isn't consistent with that pattern when resolving Aoe effects.

Faith BreakerJul 20, 20152 votes

I may be yes. But it opens up the possibility for Riot to address the issue, and consider either making it a feature and coding it better or removing it completely. I had read some interesting ideas from the replies and think I'm gonna be playing a couple extra sivir games tonight just to periment.

Here's another neat little trick I learned for Sivir.

Group.
Point your mouse in the direction of the enemy team
Press R
Enjoy your elo.

Why do you need to point your mouse towards them?

Hatless CasualJul 20, 20152 votes

Because Siver yells and your a team of Leroy Jenkins, that's why.

Not invincible, but no champ is. The game would be very boring if one was.

Wait, Lee Sin isn't invincible?

Just a Sivir comp you group and you win lmao.

That's a bug. Her spell shield isn't suppose to do that.

Sassmast3rJul 20, 20157 votes

Although that is most likely a bug with that specific ultimate, in general I can see where you are getting at. I'm actually going to have to test this on Nami's ultimate myself :p.

item 3070 Nami As if Yasuo and Braum weren't bad enough...

Ariel the CruelJul 20, 20152 votes

I haven't tested this with any recency, but it it doesn't delete the ult. Sivir just ignores it, like she's supposed to.

SilverthaneJul 20, 20157 votes

uhhhhh thats fucking cool but i dont think its supposed to work that way xD

BlunterMonkJul 20, 20157 votes

Not a bug, it's a feature, keep it.

JoquanJul 21, 20151 votes

A feature that deserves to be removed.

CasterGilgameshJul 22, 20152 votes

then remove lee sin kat and jax ward jumps those where bugs as well

ArkenStormJul 20, 20153 votes

That is a bug, unfortunately(?) Cait's ult though....

High5Jul 21, 20153 votes

Blocking big blue arrows and big ass missiles also works well too.

KapsteinJul 20, 20152 votes

I think it's a bug.

A similar event happened in the LCS this weekend.

I forget which match, but an orianna tried to ult three members of the opposing team, but the sivir's spell shield negated it.

Faith BreakerJul 21, 20151 votes

Hah what do you know? Well if something like this was in the LCS we know Riot will address it

I think you are referring to the C9 game with Incarnati0n on Ori. The Sivir spell shield wasn't actually canceling the Ori ult the enemy team just barely got out of range of each time by a smidge. Most noticeable of them was the Gnar hop basically each time. Just wanted to clear this up but I understand how it looked quite misleading at times.

Too bad it doesnt stop fiddle's crow from bouncing, which is pretty dumb if you ask me.

ColdonylumJul 20, 20151 votes

How does it interact with Bard's ult? Let's say Sivir and her support - Braum - and an enemy fed Annie are in the ult's radius. If Sivir's shield made it go PEWF wouldn't that also stop Annie being item 3157 ed?

Ariel the CruelJul 20, 20152 votes

It shields enemy bards, not allied bards.

Nope. I faced a Bard last night as Sivir, and when I spellshielded, the only person not affected by his ult was me, everyone else was affected by it and put in stasis.
