Sivir player here. AP Sivirs are either ridiculously OP or ridiculously fail, and I've seen a lot of fail AP Sivirs. I play an AD Sivir, pumping Ricochet and Spell Shield. The thing with Spell Shield is you have to know when to use it and when to dodge. Free Sivir Week means shit sivirs who don't know when to shield, and when to dodge. A Sivir needs to always stay on the move so she can dodge hits; stay still and get hit only when you know it's coming and SS is off cooldown. AD Sivir does not boomerang blade often in early game, only when you're absolutely certain you can kill your opponent. Other than that, rely on Ricochet and Spell Shield to help you push. Ricochet is an excellent harrass, it keeps enemies away from their own creeps to keep their own health up. Item build is Vamp Sceptor -> Zerk's -> BF then Bloodthirster -> Stark's -> Whatever you feel like you need according to your team and the other team's builds. As Sivir, you're not built to be a kill factory. An AD Sivir with more kills than assists is DOING IT WRONG. Instead, get others to gank your lane, harass, and remember to turn off ricochet when going in to attack towers if the enemy champ is nearby. Save your ult for team battle initiation, it has won me more team battles than I can count. Range can be a problem, but if you stick with a melee DPS, that won't even matter in team battles.
