Right after the rework Sivir was in a good place, but she became FoTM and they nerfed her (a little bit too much in my opinion) and now she's one of the lower tier AD carries. I feel that her problem right now is not having a very strong steroid since her ult is her only steroid and it's about as good as most other carries except it's on a 100-80 second cd, her only form of escape being the ult once again and she has the lowest range of all AD carries with little to compensate for it other than a spell shield, which does little when you have bruisers jumping on to your face (sure it micght block their CC but then what?).

She's still pretty strong in lane since she can harass and burst pretty well while also being able to avoid enemy harass but in teamfights low range makes it hard to do much, especially in the current meta where there is at least one if not two bruisers who will jump on your face and hit it repeatedly. I also feel that graves does almost everything she does but better as he is also strong in lane and has strong burst but has a better steroid/escape and has resistances to compensate for his low range.

Also the argument that a pro plays a champion isn't really good enough for a champion to be considerd viable, I could say that Vayne is still great simply because Doublelift still played her a while back but honestly he was the last pro to play Vayne and while she is still great late game she literally does not have an early or mid game unless she has the perfect circumstances (which is pretty much having Alistar or Blitz in lane and getting fed and farmed).
