Playing against Sivir
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Bait her E (spell shield) with a minor ability before throwing your main CC.
2
Sivir has short range (500): long-range ADCs outrange her easily.
3
Her R speeds up the entire team: prepare for a mass engage when she activates it.
4
She's weak in 1v1 compared to other ADCs — force duels if possible.
