Champion Spotlight: Sivir, the Battle Mistress

[quote=virago]Yesterday, Phreak posted this updated spotlight for [[Sivir]] The first version was released before her remake in 2010. [quote]Welcome to the Sivir Spotlight, summoners! Sivir has boundless contributions to add to any team. First, she performs the role of “pusher” exceptionally. Between Boomerang Blade and Ricochet, Sivir demands a response from the enemy team whenever she lays siege to an enemy turret. Second, she’s a force to be feared in large-scale fights. Whether buffing her entire team through On the Hunt or flying around the battle striking multiple targets at once, Sivir commands the battlefield. If you’re looking for a ranged DPS who kills everything on at once instead of one at a time, take a look at the Sivir Champion Spotlight![/quote] [embed=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6NkXkpHnf30][/quote]

[/quote] Real -.-' I'm really sick of all those people hating on his spotlights, especially when there's like ONE thing he does wrong while the rest is good. I sincerely hope you're joking tbh[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]lol i just remembered the [[miss fortune]] spotlight. [i]okay, now that we are away from [[anivia]]'s range....[/i] *anivia hits him* [i]....we can...[/i] oh Phreak -___-[/quote]

[quote=Blowfeld]turning? XD[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]lol? No, tbh i'm not really joking. If Phreak is going to release a spotlight on anyone he should show some advanced knowledge of the champion. Sure his spotlights are okay, he explains the champion relatively well (even though he didn't even mention that the ult is an pseudo aura now). Maybe i'm taking it personally because Riot remade one of my favorite champions and I loved her the way she was. I was joking because in the start it's pretty obvious they both built a bunch of warmogs or something, and Katarina did more damage thanks to her passive W lol. He mentions Sivir has a godlike early game, but that's really only because his enemies didn't just dodge Q and let themselves get hit. Like 'once your opponent stops moving' is ever going to happen. Of course Soraka didn't heal either so w/e. And ofc later Morgana doesn't cast any spells at all except Ult, which of course is standard to cast your most important spell first against ranged dps who has a spell shield. Mind you that brings up the whole 'why is Morgana even there in the first place?' situation. Sivir has awesome escape tools, except your ult is on a high ass cooldown and you want it for teamfights, plus there is no other escape, right. Absorbing a low priority spell is always nice, then spending that mana on wraiths is useful too. Singed plays like an idiot early game, even though that's his worse time in the game :o His masteries are also quite nice, it's good to know Phreak realizes Havoc is SUCH a good mastery, and that taking full dps on Sivir is important. So I think we can conclude that's more then one mistake. It's nice of him to release a spotlight for champions like this, but maybe he should just put a guide link to Chaox's Sivir commentary or something, lol. EDIT: As Missmaw said, Phreak makes a lot of mistakes. I love him and all, but his spotlights leave a professional taste to be desired. @Omagma & Blowfield haters gonna hate? :P it's true I secretly hate everyone on Mobafire, you guys are all noobs and the reason I only play on PBE is so I don't have to decline your invites every time I get on NA or EU :o[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Only one thing I can say: [color=red]stop taking spotlights so seriously[/color]. The [i]very reason[/i] he makes them is to explain the basics and show some gameplay footage. And yes, his opponents didn't do a great job at dodging his Qs. And honestly, in that fight against [[Garen]] where he used his [[Spell Shield]] at the wrong moment, I have no idea why [[Garen]] even stays there so long in the first place and is spinning at Phreak even while dying, that makes no sense. I don't feel like enemies that play against Phreak play well at all (and heck, maybe they're even told to derp around every now and then), but that's not Phreak's fault now, is it? And you know what, normally Phreak has some skillshots that he misses, some things he should've done differently etc. In this spotlight, apart from that one [[Spell Shield]], he does what everyone would've done, taking advantage of stupid play from his enemies but still mostly [i]making the right move[/i]. Spotlights aren't meant to show pro play from 2000 ELO and above, spotlights are meant to show the basics. Criticising it and saying he should just post a link to a high ELO player's video is unnecessary, because you're [i]not supposed[/i] to look at these videos to become a great [[Sivir]] and players who do want to improve will check high ELO streams themselves anyway.[/quote]
