New Sivir Build (ft. HLE Viper) 🧵
- Let's start by saying this build is weird
- It's an updated version of lethality Q spam Sivir
- The build comes from an OTP with the name of 구여름 but we are starting to see a few pros try it now 🤯
The build:
Shiv>Black Cleaver>Duskblade>GA or Hourglass
- Shiv gives waveclear without needing to press Q which allows you to push and poke with q on repeat
- Cleaver is a great statstick that gives a ton of AH which you want to spam Q (Actually think Shojin could work here too)
With Q and W it's easy to get 6 stacks of cleaver on enemies which makes you very supportive in fights
- Duskblade is the best lethality item right now and provides a ton of poke damage
- He always goes stopwatch into GA or Hourglass, I guess he wants to be safe
Runes from OTP:
- Aery poke spam style ( he never runs manaflow???????)
Viper did run manaflow in his game and I think you would need it
The build is the quintessential autofill ADC build. You can't lose tower, very safe, easy poke, utility items. This is not a good carry build imo and having spoken to 1 pro who tried it, he said that you are just a passenger.
Viper's attempt didn't go so well but considering he's trying it amongst others it's definitely causing a buzz in the KR scene right now.
Conclusion:
- Weird build and good if you are autofilled because you will not carry or AA
- Supporting your team with a very easy to play build
- Awful if you need to carry, could be good vs champs susceptible to poke like xayah or aphelios though / want to cheat win lane w/aery
@RiotPhroxzon I am a huge fan of unbalance but an even bigger hater of reverts. Storm has 1 good patch, nerfed. Galeforce x2 nerf and reverted to old bonus AD scalings. Ardent has 2 patches of relevance for the first time in 5 years.
Champion changes are fine this patch (except ksante
@RiotPhroxzon I think ksante needs larger shifts, to buff soloq and nerf pro (another topic)
But the item changes feel so random the last 2 patches. Anything played is just hit and everyone predicted enchanters to be OP in the 13.10 preview but we had to wait till 13.12 to nerf milio/zeri
@RiotPhroxzon and their cheap items. I understand making "new" or "changed" things cool at first and bringing them down. But pro play being almost the exact same champs after a "HUGE" mid season change sucks.
Serpent's Fang FIRST, yes FIRST (RNG LP)
- My favourite LPL ADC's been cooking again
- Rushes Serpent's Fang in Lucian Nami lanes vs Lulu/Milio/Yuumi
Every serpents game here it was 1st item except the 1 game 5 days ago he got it last, I suspect he then noticed the potential
Let's read the item
55AD, 12 Lethality and 35% Shield shred/venom on a 2600g item is not bad.
I believe the theory is to complete this before enemy ad 1st item and just snowball the game into oblivion.
Full build has gale 2nd and rfc 3rd in most situations
Statikk Shiv Kennen ft.Mbappe (PSG Azhi)
- Rushes it with onhit and AP builds
- 13.11 buffs were pretty huge and lots of champs are testing it first item Kaisa/Jhin etc...
- Instant wave clear for Kennen helps a lot and Shiv synergises with your all in combo anyways
Just a few of his games from the last few days
I think this is a very viable build whether you go on hit or AP items and just shiv for 11cspm + extra dmg in flash R combo and early WR numbers are still too low to take but Shiv 1st is looking pretty good on a few champs like Quinn,Trist and Xayah
