If I had to use Q to start and catch up to a champ with old sivir I was doing something wrong imho. That's why I used Alcrity Boots and got an early Shiv to boost my AS bonuses.

As for her gameplay I liked her niche role that synergized really well with AA based champions like Nocturne, Jax, Jarvan, Vi, Lee Sin, Warwick, Aatrox and she's lost that niche for me. She had an ult that really gave her a lot of presence because when she had a good comp that synergized well off her ult, it was devestating to see. Now she just has a MS buff and a short AS steriod that STILL gets out sterioded by champions that have it last LONGER (Graves, Tristana, Jinx for our ADCs).

To me she's just become another caster that's kinda... meh ish. Her laning is better, there's no deying that because she's not as mana hungry now, but the ability to show off with her is gone. Her ult doesn't feel as great anymore. It's just a built in Shureyla's now.

Sivir HAD great AoE presence already. All they did was give it a slight buff. Nothing major. Her w was easily avoided in teamfights if you knew what you were doing and it still is. Her team fight presence is arguably LOWER in some cases because her AS isn't as fast, nor does she give a steady AS boost to champions that actually use it, giving her an overall weaker damage per second unless she has the CDR to cast Richochet every 3 seconds. Before this rework when I heard a Sivir ult go off from the enemy team my first thought was "Where the hell is Sivir, she needs to die now". Now it just feels... flat.

I'm not sure I liked old sivir and personally didn't think she needed a rework at all. She's a great niche champion and I don't like the fact that she no longer has that niche she worked well with.
