Sivir Counters, Build and Runes — Bot Lane Matchups · Patch 26.20

the Battle Mistress

Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (2,422 games).

Sivir, the Battle Mistress, blocks one enemy spell with Spell Shield and speeds up her whole team with On The Hunt. Lethal Tempo ran on all but a handful of counted Master+ Sivirs, and Yun Tal Wildarrows, Navori Flickerblade, Infinity Edge was the build bought most. Aphelios and Yunara beat her most often among bot laners. She did better against Ezreal and Kalista. Jhin, Jinx and Tristana were about even.

Counter plan — how to beat Sivir

  • Close the gap early — it wins at range and at three items — neither before ten minutes

  • Punish the cooldown — Sivir is exposed while its rotation is down

  • Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one

  • Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 4/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

  • Trade on your terms — take the fight where its damage lands on nobody

Sivir balance history

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Sivir in 4 patches. The latest is patch 26.2, published 2026-01-21.

  1. Patch 26.22026-01-21

    Base Stats

    • Attack Speed Growth2%to1.6%
    • Armor Growth4.45to4.0
    Why, in Riot's words

    Sivir has become an extremely dominant ADC pick, regardless of whether or not she buys Essence Reaver, so it’s time to bring her down a notch. Since she has very strong wave control and great damage scaling, we’re looking to bring down her top end a little.

  2. Patch 26.12026-01-07

    QBoomerang Blade

    • Damage60/85/110/135/160 (+ 85% bonus AD)to60/85/110/135/160 (+ 70% bonus AD)
    • Crit ScalingUp to 1.5xto40%: 1.4/1.52x
    Why, in Riot's words

    As Sivir's going to gain a lot of power from stronger Ricochet crits, we're reducing her Q's scaling.

  3. Patch 25.192025-09-23

    QBoomerang Blade

    • Initial Damage60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160 (+ 100% bonus AD)to60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160 (+ 85% bonus AD)
    Why, in Riot's words

    Sivir is a little OP in regular play and somewhat dominates the pro play sphere. While we’re happy to have a healthy share of hyper-carries, we’d like if Sivir had more competition in that archetype.

  4. Patch 25.112025-05-27

    WRicochet

    • Bounce Damage30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50% ADto40 / 42.5 / 45 / 47.5 / 50% AD
    Why, in Riot's words

    Sivir scales appropriately well, but is struggling a little too hard early on. Giving her a bit more oomph on earlygame W bounces.

Riot's tips for Sivir

Playing Sivir

  • Sivir's Boomerang Blade returns to her after reaching the max range, so you can shift position to hit enemies who would otherwise have evaded it.
  • Ricochet resets Sivir's basic attack timer on activation, so activating this immediately after landing a normal basic attack will maximize damage output.
  • Try saving Spell Shield for enemy abilities that can disable you such as stuns and roots.

Playing against Sivir

  • Boomerang Blade costs a lot of mana to cast, so dodging it sets Sivir back. If it hits you on the way out, avoid its path on the way back.
  • Sivir is a powerful pushing champion, so leaving her unattended in a lane for too long will often result in your turrets being destroyed.
  • When laning against Sivir, it is possible to throw off the timing of her Spell Shield by faking an advance, then backing off.

Methodology

Data window
Preview sample — a one-time snapshot of 65,406 ranked games (Master+, EUW/KR/NA, patch 26.18), counted by GamGem while our Riot production key is under review. Figures will update daily once it is approved. Counted 26–27 Sept 2026; patches 26.18 (35,477) · 26.19 (18,580) · 26.17 (11,048) · 26.16 (293) · 26.15 (8); by server EUW 22,382 · KR 21,922 · NA 21,065 · EUNE 20 · TR 17. 642 games without a result — remakes ended by vote in their first minutes, and games recorded with no winner — were not counted.
Rank aggregation
Master, Grandmaster and Challenger, pooled — the three ladders the count read its players from. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
Role assignment
A champion is filed under every lane that holds at least a tenth of its counted games — the position the match itself reports, not the champion’s class. Its headline win rate is across all of them; each lane’s own win rate and games are counted too, and a lane’s tier list ranks by them.
Counters
The two champions in the same position on opposite teams, over that pairing’s own counted games — ranked on the edge pulled toward zero by its sample size, printed raw.
Minimum sample
None — no figure is hidden for being thin. Every rate prints its games, and the confidence band is its 95% margin: Very High within ±1.5 points, High ±2.5, Moderate ±3.1 (1,000 games), Low wider.
Why a build is not a cause
An item is counted when the match ENDS with it, so late items show long games and an item bought when already ahead shows games that were being won. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying the item caused the win.
Where the numbers come from
Names, classes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates, builds, keystones, spells and matchups are counted by GamGem from Riot's ranked match records. An estimate, not a count: this panel is not in the preview sample, and is labelled so.
