For various reasons, Sivir has not been valued by gamers in recent versions, even though she is a relatively strong champion. First, we must mention that the Cultist team was heavily “out-meta” in the recent patch 11.3. Furthermore, the widespread use of hyper-roll means that 3-cost carry champions like Sivir do not have enough damage mid-game to carry the team to victory. However, as the hyper-roll meta gradually cools down, the masters have started to discover Sivir as an extremely strong and easy-to-use carry.
The greatest strength of Sivir in Teamfight Tactics is her ability to provide a huge attack speed boost to nearby allies. In fact, this champion also buffs herself significantly with AD. Therefore, as long as you can effectively use her abilities, Sivir can ensure that your team will have an enormous damage output. You can utilize Sivir in many different compositions, and she will still maximize her power.
Another thing to note is that in patch 11.4, the Cultist composition has returned to the meta as hyper-roll is no longer prevalent, and Galio has been significantly buffed. This allows a champion like Sivir, who does not rely heavily on a specific trait, to shine brightly. While Sivir’s damage cannot compare to Jhin’s from before, she does enhance the overall strength of the team quite a bit.
At a reasonable cost of 3 gold, you can easily obtain a 2-star Sivir by level 6. You won’t have to wait until you reach level 8 for your carry to gain enough strength like when playing around Kayle or Olaf. Therefore, in case of unfortunate circumstances, you can roll all your gold starting at level 6 to search for a 2-star Sivir with the aim of preserving as much health as possible.
Regarding item builds for Sivir, this champion can effectively fulfill the role of a support champion with items like Zeke’s Herald and Jeweled Gauntlet. At that point, the carry will receive enormous buff stats from Sivir and easily crush the enemy team. If you can activate the Sniper effect, the speed of securing victory will be even faster.
If you intend to build Sivir as a carry, experts recommend combining 2 defensive items for this champion. The reason is that Sivir’s abilities already provide a lot of damage and attack speed for her. Therefore, ensuring Sivir’s safety should be a top priority when players decide to elevate this champion to carry status. Items like Guardian Angel, Quicksilver, and Rapid Firecannon are excellent choices for Sivir mid-game.
In conclusion, with her high versatility, Sivir is becoming an extremely hot champion whether in a support or carry role. In “season 4.75” or the upcoming patch 11.4, the meta of Teamfight Tactics will undergo a significant change. You should choose to play around Sivir, a champion that has not been nerfed, to quickly adapt and climb ranks in the new meta.
