Your spell shield is now purely psychological, as Sivir now looses nothing if you fake her out into using it. It's become a "get out of gank" free card and really counters a couple of popular supports. Leona, Thresh and basically anything with heavy cc.

She's become quite a safe pick as you can just use the W to clear wave and harass them at the same time, without actually coming into their range. If they stand adjacent to your minions you can still farm with Q. If they engage on you, just spell shield the heaviest CC they throw out... And your ult is just an: "Aw hell no! I'm outa here!" button now.

When warding properly and coupled with something like Shen you could split push 2 lanes all day while your team easily holds down mid with 3 people... Something like Annie or Gragas to clear waves with 1 spell and a defensive jungler/support like Nautilus and Thresh...
