Lastly, the League of Legends developers have mentioned that the primary idea behind this rework is to make Sivir a top-tier team-fight-oriented marksman who will benefit the longer she stays in the fight. Apart from that, her crit scaling has also been boosted to enhance late-game viability even more.

This will help bring Sivir more in line with the current top-tier ADC's within League of Legends.
