Sivir's range is the lowest of all ADCs in the game. She has higher mana costs and her spell shield is not the easiest to time against some attacks. ''Do you allow yourself to get bandaged by Amumu to spell shield his ult, or do you spell shield the bandage toss itself, but risk amu doing a flash ult on you? Do you avoid Grave's buckshot combo with spell shield, or do you take the hit to save if for the karthus ult should you live? When do I time it against a taric who's trying to stun me for WW's ult, when WW is running with ghost+smite or flash+smite? ''It's easy to mess up with her spell shield.

Despite these facts, Sivir has some of the best damage as well. Of all the ADCs, sivir benifits the most from having a blue buff on her. Ricochet, her W, does a total of 368% of it's stated damage spread out among 5 enemies. On a 3 second CD. with blue buff, that 3 seconds is now 2.4, and it's an auto attack reset. This lets sivir put down some serious damage in team fights without people really realizing it.

Sivir also has by far the best chase potential of all ADCs with her passive and ult, and her ult is one of the few ults in the game that works as a team buff. It's essentially a free Reverie and Zeke's Herald in 1 little package because the allies do not need to be near sivir once she uses it. She pops it during a team fight with any champs that benifit off AS (like Irelia, Warwick, Master Yi, Jax, all of whom have AS boosters or use skills that apply on hit effects), and things can easily turn the other way.

However her laning phase is probably the biggest reason she's not played. A good sivir is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
