Riot's successful trend of light reworks has Sivir enthusiasts eagerly anticipating this announcement.
In recent times, Riot Games has introduced significant changes to outdated champions, earning high praise from gamers for their adjustments to Swain, Olaf, Taliyah, and previously, Ahri. Riot retains the signature skills and brand mechanics of these characters but implements reasonable tweaks to make them stronger and more timely.
Just a week after the release of patch 12.11, Riot Games continues to announce the next champion in line for a comprehensive overhaul. According to LMHT champion design lead - Riot August, Sivir is the upcoming character slated for a complete revamp. Responsible for this rework is Riot RayYonggi, the designer who brought Akshan into existence.
Examining Sivir's skill set, we can expect distinctive features such as a damage-dealing leap, ability to block enemy skills, and a movement speed buff for allies. It's highly likely that Riot Games will keep her W - Ricochet as it is a signature ability that allows Sivir to clear minions and farm rapidly.
Skills likely to undergo adjustments include her passive and Q - Boomerang Blade. Sivir's passive is overly simplistic, providing a slight movement speed increase when attacking enemy champions, and it doesn't even activate when dealing damage to minions. Riot may enhance Sivir's attack speed upon activation of this passive. As for the Q - Boomerang Blade, Riot should consider adding effects to it rather than just dealing plain damage.
It seems we'll have to wait a few more weeks, maybe even a whole month, to get the first details about Sivir's upcoming rework. Given the recent successful reworks, gamers are eagerly anticipating what Sivir's overhaul will bring.
