Sivir is not a champion meant to do single-target damage, but AoE damage due to ricochet. Do not try to 1vs1 with Sivir because she doesn't have any burst damage (BB is easy to dodge by smart opponents) and besides that, she completely relies on autoattacks to do the damage, and also she doesn't have any form of CC.

Nevertheless, if you buy her in the same way you build a tristana + red buff, with your ultimate you will deal approximately the same autoattack damage to a single target, without considering the ricochet bounces to nearby targets. What's the problem?

1- Range. She has a very short attack range. That's why she needs a team with CC to protect her, and positioning in teamfights is specially important on sivir. You should always stay behind tanks and focus the nearest target and let ricochets hit carries in the back. 2- Her lack of CC. I think this is ok when you are on a good team. Carries' main job should be output damage, and leave the CCing to other people. Corki for example doesn't have any CC too, however he is considered one of the best carries due to his damage output.

To sum up, low single-target damage output, insane AoE damage output with the right items (BT + LW is a cool combination for sivir and her ricochets)
