My own tactic: I go flash+teleport.

I love the most mid. I take ricochet. At the start, I prefer last hitting from behind my own creeps. My next skill is Spell Shield. At this moment, I can move aside from my wave of creeps to become a potential ability target (and use Spell Shield for the mana-regen). I hit with ricochet the ranged minions to hit the ranged champion hiding behind. Melee minions should be last hit. I get then only 1 rank in BB. It cost too much at this level compared to the damage done but I just throw it if the opponent close the distance, just to try to scare him off. I start philosopher for the gold+mana regen. The spell shield is one big mana regen source. If the spell shield is on cool down, I retreat behind my wave of creeps (especially important against an ashe and her volley). lvl 4 and 5 are for ricochets again (unless I'm harassed. If that's the case I go BB for the long range). That's usually enough cause hitting the ranged minions will eventually hit the champion behind. I take the ultimate then. Here, I plan to take over that tower. (before I don't want to push too hard. I might not have backed yet -or once to take the philosopher+TP back- and hence couldn't ward not to be ganked). I harass hard with ricochet. Nice thing is that it can hit a champ while you're out of tower range. I now can even land some BB. People usually underestimate Sivir's capability to push. So they think that they got enough time to back. But once you have your ulti, that's a false assumption. At an opponent back, push for real. BB at the creep wave, ricochet, ulti, attack tower. Later in game you can split push. Don't over-do it. My goal is to keep my minions in their own zone. I leave lane, kill a wave or too when come back at the team. Just to force them to split. So while 1 opponent goes defending a tower, we pressure sometime 5 vs 4. When I managed to get the 2 lanes under some pressure (let's say in their own zone), I over-do a lane's pushing up to the tower. I hope they try a gank. If they try, I Teleport to the opposite lane and try to destroy their tower. My goal is to get them separated. And once they really do, it's time to force a big team fight to get them blown. I like sivir. But, on the other hand, I need a beefy team to play her. If we're 3 squishies, I just fail.
