The Battle Mistress

Introduction

Hello people on MOBAFire, my name's Simplifyx (Now name changed to InvertedPrødigy), for those who have not read my Vayne guide, this will pretty much be the same introduction with some changes here and there. I have been playing this game for a while now and I have decided to make a guide, since I am fairly decent with this champion ever since I started playing her again, Sivir, The Battle Mistress. This is my second guide on MOBAFire, and hope you can give me feedback on what I can improve or add to this guide. Thank You(As the Reader) and also thanks to jhoijhoi for the line dividers, as well as MissMaw for the format for some of the sections! Please finish reading this guide or testing it before voting. Constructive criticism is also welcomed! If you have any questions, or if you want to support me by making banners/signatures for me, please PM me on MOBAfire! (Or add me on AIM if you'd like : SimplifyxLoL@gmail.com , Follow me on Twitter! @SimplifyxLoL)

Don't mind me, too poor to afford skinz.

Okay, I know my ranked stats aren't great, and doesn't show that I'm any good with her, but I will update this picture the more ranked games I play with Sivir.

Sivir, The Battle Mistress

Lore:
The beautiful and deadly champion known as Sivir has been a favorite of League summoners for close to a decade. A soldier-for-hire outside of the Fields of Justice, she is the embodiment of a highly successful mercenary on modern day Runeterra. Sivir has little interest in the ''cribbage sheets'' - as she calls them - of League influence bartering. Instead, she is motivated by material wealth and riches, and she is paid handsomely for her services. Sivir is one of the wealthiest individuals found anywhere on Valoran. Sivir owns multiple residences in a number of different city-states, as well as ownership stakes in a number of businesses all across Valoran. Her detractors, either envious of her success or acrimonious of her flexible morality, have begun to use Sivir as a symbol of what is wrong with the mercenary nature of the League. Sivir dismisses her critics, saying that while her personal code of ethics is less ruthless than her competitors, ''Everyone has a price.''

Sivir has earned many titles and accolades throughout her illustrious career, but the one she held until recently was ''Battle Mistress of Noxus''. Now she is simply known as ''The Battle Mistress'' after breaking her contract with the Noxian High Command. Sivir dared to object to the Noxian war against the peaceful island state of Ionia, though less about the morality of the issue than the planning behind it; her predictions of a bloody stalemate came true when the Ionians held off the relentless assaults of the Noxians. Claiming that the Noxian High Command had lost its direction, she left Noxus and made her services available to the Institute of War. The Noxian High Command has sent a number of contracted assassins to deal with its rogue mercenary, but none have delivered her or survived.

''Time and time again, Sivir proves that she has earned the right to call herself 'The Battle Mistress'.''

Pros / Cons

Pros:

Cons:

Abilities

Fleet of Foot
Sivir gains a short burst of Movement Speed when she attacks an enemy champion.
This passive, extremely useful early game, helps you catch up to your enemies and maybe even land another , which may result in a/another kill. This passive also helps in team fights, like when you feel you should back off, this skill will give you movement speed (hopefully enough) to evade the opposite team. Stack this with red buff and they might just have to use their escape spell to get away.

Boomerang Blade
Sivir hurls her crossblade like a boomerang, dealing damage each way.

Early game, this skill does cost a lot of mana, so it is a skill that you should not be spamming every time it is off cooldown. Use this well. (Aiming for champions:Avoid hitting minions for reduced damage, Aiming for Minions:Hit as many as possible for farm) Early game, this is your primary damage, and if you get into a fight with the other team during laning phase, try to hit as many champions as you can. Preferably focus the enemy that is closest to you in lane, but in team fights, try to stay alive while using this skill as much as possible (though most of your damage should come from your auto attacks).

Ricochet
Sivir's next basic attack will bounce between targets, dealing reduced damage with each successive hit.
During team fights, this ability is also part of your primary damage. By using this ability at the right time, you can reset your auto attack (from what I believe). This ability does not delay any extra damage that you can do in a team fight, but rather helps you do even more damage. This ability is on a relatively short cooldown with low mana cost, so spam it whenever you can in team fights.

Spell Shield
Creates a magical barrier that blocks a single enemy ability cast on Sivir. She receives Mana back if a spell is blocked.
This ability is pretty straight-forward, as long as you block an ability within 3 second of using it, you get back mana (think it was 125 mana per block). However, this ability will waste your mana if you do not block any abilities, and it is also on a fairly long cooldown.

On The Hunt
Sivir leads her allies into battle granting them increased Movement and Attack Speeds for a period of time.
This ability synchronizes with your passive so much. By giving you extra attack speed and movement speed, you will be able to stick onto your enemies for pretty much a whole fight. It is a team buff, increasing everyone's movement speed near you by 20% and their attack speeds by 30/45/60% depending on what level your ulti is. Use this skill to initiate or run away.

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Phase Rush

Marks - Attack Damage Marks helps you with last hitting, gives you bonus damage throughout the game, and can scales into your Boomerang Blade as well as your Ricochet. Your Boomerang Blade also has a high AD scaling

Seals - You should be in bottom lane, and you should be laning against an AD carry, in which Armor will help you survive longer in lane, and will lower the chances of you dying by lowering the amount of damage you take from physical attacks.

Glyphs - Magic Resist Glyphs can help you against their AP mid, or if they have an AP support. This will also help you survive a little longer in team fights, but since these are getting a little nerf, it is optional to use these or not. An example of an AP support -

Quints - Same reason as Marks, to last hit, and to raise damage on your Boomerang Blade/Ricochet.

Here are a list of Alternative runes and reasons listed below.

Marks - Greater Mark of Desolation - Get this if you think the enemy team is likely to build armor against you, then these choices will be better than . Both Armor Pen and Flat Attack Damage Marks are awesome on AD carries, and most AD carries use either one or the other.

Seals - No better alternative - The enemy team is extremely likely to have an AD carry, and even if they don't, having Armor is still very nice to have. Some AP casters/AD carries are one-time bursts, so if you stay back a little bit, you won't get killed instantly.

Glyphs - OR - Get Attack Speed Glyphs if you think the enemy team does not compose of much AP champions. Get Scaling Magic Resist if their AP composition is only for late game, and their early game is not as good. You will have more Magic resist and you will survive for longer durations of time, maybe even lifesteal your way back to full health.

Quints - No better alternative - For some other champions, they may be able to run lifesteal quints or maybe even movement speed, but for Sivir, she already has a good passive and if you get first, you won't need the 6% lifesteal.

Masteries

OFFENSE

Tier 1: 3 points in for extra attack damage, and 1 point in for the extra attack damage/ability power when is down. Replace with if you are using another spell like or .

Tier 2: 4 points in to be able to add points into the next tier, more attack speed, and is better than anything on it level or below for Sivir.

Tier 3: 4 points in for the increased attack damage per level and to add a point into the next tier. for the additional armor penetration which is useful even if you're running either attack damage or armor penetration runes.

Tier 4: 1 point in because Sivir is an AD carry and most (if not all) have some kind of crit damage, which results in more damage output. 3 points in for the extra lifesteal for sustain in lane, may save you sometimes, when you are dying from an ignite maybe?

Tier 5: 3 points in because like I said before, armor penetration is useful and is also the most useful place to put the points in this tier.

Tier 6: 1 point in to deal more damage to targets below 40% health. Though 6% may not seem like a lot, or maybe it does who knows, but it actually contributes to a lot of your damage especially in team fights.

UTILITY

Tier 1: 1 point in to get the 15 seconds off . 3 points in for the extra mana due to mana problems and to move on to the next tier with 1 more point in if you want to.

Tier 2: 3 points in because again, of mana problems early game. Take 1 point in if you didn't take in Tier 1.

Tier 3: 1 point in for the extra buff duration because you should be getting red buffs, maybe blue buffs and baron buffs later on into the game. This will help you keep that buff longer for a slight advantage.

Summoner Spells/Alternate Spells

The reason I get these two spells is because Ignite is a good finish off for an assassin. This spell also scales pretty well into late game, considering it IS true damage. If someone would take , I suggest it be your support, but you can take any of the following spells instead of Heal. Completely optional.

Flash is necessary for almost all AD carries, since you should be the one getting focused by the enemy team most of the time. You will be able to make a quick escape and continue killing. This is one of the best spells and is a good spell for both offense and defense.

Alternative Summoner Spells

If you feel you do not need heal or you can get your support to get heal instead. People rarely use this, and although I prefer , this is a viable choice.

[img=

]

If you think movement speed is better on Sivir to go with the passive and ultimate than a split second flash, go for it. This works really well to get in range of her passive to work, and can also give you even more movement speed while your passive is up, allowing you to chase for long distances. You will be a great chaser, but sometimes will give you a better escape route.

[img=

]

Never used, don't think I will need map control/getting back in lane faster/ganking other lanes because they usually do well. Can be used for escape purposes, but there are lots of better spells for assassins such as .

[img=

]

Get this if you think their team composition is composed of a lot of CC's that can really hurt you. You can also get this if you are afraid of their summoner spells. For example, they can for finishing you off, but you can just out of it and continue back to base or something.

Can save you in lane lots of times, as long as you use it before you get hit with an , then you won't heal that much.

REMEMBER TO CHANGE YOUR MASTERIES ACCORDING TO THE SUMMONER SPELLS YOU CHOOSE

Items

Item Sequence

: // If you don't have a sustain support, or if you like the extra movement speed. I usually take this even if I have sustain supports, as I find last hitting fairly easy without Doran's Blade, don't need the extra health, and the 3% lifesteal is just a little bonus for starting with a Doran's Blade
: // This item is nice if you need the extra health in lane, if you have a support that can health you back to full health, and if you need help last hitting. Starting with this item will lower your movement speed, but can sometimes be worth it if you have good jungle.
: // This is the standard type of boots for most AD carries, and rarely should this be replaced with other boots. And by rarely, I mean almost never. The attack speed is needed for Vayne especially since it can help proc Silver Bolt
: // This item is a core item, as well as Bloodthirster, but it depends on what you get first. If you are dominating your lane and don't need sustain, but would rather have more damage when you crit, take this item. Take it ONLY if you are winning your lane. If you are losing, your best bet would to go Bloodthirster

Get Last Whisper before Guardian Angel if they are stacking armor, and Guardian Angel before Last Whisper if they are focusing you.

Example Builds

Pure Offense/Glass Cannon
Offensive and Defensive
The rest of the builds are up to you. These are pretty much the standard builds for most AD carries. Play around with it a bit and find the one that you think you can play best with.

Farming

LAST HITTING AT TURRET - EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

(Around Level 6 or so, because you gain attack damage after every level)

When the opponent minions reach your turret(at full health)
Front Minions - Let them take 2 turret shots, then you attack the same minion once.
Back Minions - Let them take 1 turret shot, then attack the same minion once.

Ashe

Ashe's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Easy

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Ashe
Stay behind your minions, because all/almost all Ashe's max first. It will not hit you if you stay behind your minions, especially if there is a group of them. Engage only if your support is aggressive (hit Boomerang Blades, maybe some extra harass), have health advantage, and you're sure their jungler is nowhere near.

Her is strong end game, but sort of weak early game. However, if their jungler is near, they might be able to kill you because of that slow(or at least they might burn a summoner or two).

Care if you know she has , because you might be winning at first, then an unexpected arrow might cause you a death. If you know her ultimate is on cooldown, you have an advantage if yours is up. If you have good reactions, you can also her .

Tips

-Consider engaging team fights if is on cooldown
-Be wary of her and combo at level 1. It can leave you at half health.
-It's almost impossible to run away from her end game, so you probably have a better chance at killing her than running away.

Caitlyn

Caitlyn's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Easy

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Caitlyn
Have an aggressive support if you want to kill her, or have a sustain support if you want it to be a farm lane. Personally, I think Caitlyn's are easy to win lane against and I usually ask for an aggressive support. Land and if she spams lots of skills, you should be able to kill her without dying or burning spells (possibly).

If you are low on mana and see a , you can use . Who doesn't want free mana?! But if you do this, make sure it isn't a bait, because their jungler may be near and you just used your shield.

If you see her use and you are sure you are about to die, try to if you can. If you can't, behind someone and try not to kill them.

Tips

-Aggressive support=Go for the kill, Sustain support=Play passively
- the if no one is near and you are sure it isn't a bait
-Match her by landing your . Try not to hit minions.

Corki

Corki's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Medium / Hard

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Corki
Stay back, farm well, if he moves up past his minions, back up a little so he won't hit you with his . If he jumps in with , then he will have to use his summoners to get away probably, since he will have no escape spells. When he uses his , try to stay out of range so he can't lower your armor. The more armor reduction you receive from his , the more damage you take.

When he gets level 6 and his , he can poke incredibly well. Try and stay a little behind your minions so he cannot hit you even if he aims at you. As above said, if he engages with , dodge his (Retaliate with and if you know you won't get killed doing so), and then proceed to finishing him off or leave him be.

Tips

-Think about engaging into fight if is down, but make sure their jungler is not near.
-Stay behind minions so he can't hit his skills, because all of it are somewhat like skillshots.
-Good and with his and down might get you a kill.

Draven

Draven's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Medium

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Draven
You don't really counter him if he is good, but it will be an even lane in my opinion. If he can aim and pick it up, , throw again, he MIGHT win lane, however, both teams should have junglers, so it depends on them as well. His 's base damage is pretty high, so don't fight with him early game without a jungler gank. You should be able to take him down easily if you get to late game, with at least 2 core items. His utility skill, , apparently snares you for about .5 seconds, so try not to get hit by that. Who knows, you might get insta-killed in that .5 seconds.

is a global ultimate, and has an okay base damage, but the scaling is at 110% Attack Damage. If he has a lot of attack damage, they will do a lot of damage if it hits you once, not to mention on the way back as well. Avoid getting hit by this if you can, and if you will die on its return, over to avoid it. He can slightly alter the path of it, so pay attention to his movements.

Tips
-Do not trade with him early without a jungler gank, unless he misses his and you know you can deal more damage to him than he does to you. Try to get a sustain support.
-If you do not have a sustain support, try your best to stay away from him so he cannot harass you too much. If he deals too much damage to you, you have a better chance of matching him end game if you go back than if you stay and maybe give him a kill. Missing some creeps is better than losing 300~500 of your health.
-Watch and alert your team if you see using it across the map. Call "Draven Ult" if you can and ping direction as well as fall back.

Ezreal

Ezreal's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Easy / Medium

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Ezreal
Same as a lot of AD Ranged, stay behind your minions so Ezreal's and will not hit you. His hurts if it hits you early game, so try and avoid it, though after the patch, it does a lot less.

If you catch him with his and maybe down, attempt to land your and try to get off a as well, and if it works, proceed from there. If you cannot, just focus on farming and play aggressive or try to get a kill off the support if you get a jungle gank.

Make sure you know when he will fire his , because if he hits it when you are low, you will probably die. Use your if it is up.

Tips

-His lowers the cooldowns of his other skills everytime he hits a target, so try not to get hit by it in a 1v1.
- his if you see it coming or if your is down and you will die if you don't.
-Stay behind minions and focus on farming if you have a sustain support.

Graves

Graves's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Medium / Hard

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Graves
If you see him to you, back up a little, as he will probably follow up with a . If he uses to block your escape route, try to go around it, because it will slow you inside, and narrow your vision.

If they have a stun support, try to not get stunned, because Graves can follow up easily with his , , and combo. It deals a lot of damage, maybe even kill you.

Tips

-If you are to fight , try to estimate when his is down at least, but if you can as well.
-This can be a farming lane if you have a sustain support that can play well. If you have a bad sustain support, might have and your support will die if they are the aggressive AD carry/Support composition.
-Avoid his , because it can set up ganks for his jungler if he aims it well. his or if you see it coming.

Jayce

Jayce's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Medium / Hard

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Jayce
If the you are playing is good (changes forms, lands skill shots, etc), then you will most likely need lots of jungler presence or else you will likely die. His changes give him additional movement speed from Hetech Capacitor, which can help him catch up to you and whack you with his combo. Depending on which skill he maxes first, you will have to play differently.

If you notice that is maxing out his , then you would stay behind minions and hopefully he will miss most of his shots. For more veterans playing , you COULD fight if you wanted to, but you would have to dodge his skill shots, or whatever skill he is maxing first.

If you notice that is maxing out his , you can probably assume that he will stay in his Mercury Hammer form a lot, or use the change for either movement speed or to last hit without getting harassed by you. If he changed forms and chases after you, try to run away, and hopefully he won't be able to catch you. If he does manage to catch up to you, try to whatever you think will deal the most damage to you. Avoid playing aggressive until your is up again.

Tips

- to reduce Jayce's damage, since his does lots of damage.
-Stay behind minions or if you see a coming.
-Try not to fight unless you know his cooldowns are low, you have a jungler with you, if you have more health/damage, or all of the above.

Kennen

Kennen's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Easy / Medium

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Kennen
Dodge his , and if you see his Electical Surge's passive up, back up a little until he uses his next auto attack. Try not to get stunned by him, because if he stuns you, then their jungler can gank a lot easier.

Once you see him use his , out immediately unless you think you can kill him for sure without dying.

Tips

-Makes extremely easier to kill when his is down, since Kennen needs his stun to be effective.
-Avoid his passive attack, as it does 80% of his attack damage at level 5.
-Stay behind your minions and dodge his attacks, any of his skills if you can.

Kog'Maw

Kog'Maw's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Medium

How to Counter Kog'Maw
Try to get a stun support so it makes landing your a lot easier. is squishy, so landing one will do enormous amounts of damage. his as it is one of the only skills you can block other than his and , but it also slows you.

Once he gets , when you try to 1v1 him without , don't stay in place for him to land his because it does more damage for each consecutive one.

Tips

-Don't stay in place for him to land .
-Get early ganks from jungle as he doesn't have any real escape spells.
-Landing and will give you a big advantage on him.

Miss Fortune

Miss Fortune's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Easy / Medium

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Miss Fortune
Don't trade with her if you rely on your support to heal you, or if you have , because her reduce your healing, so it won't be as effective. Try not to stand behind your support as she shoots her , because it does more damage to the person behind him/her. gives sight of a brush, and slows you, so out of it.

When she shoots her , stay out of the range, even though it is used to clear minions mobs as well, it can do a lot of damage to squishy champions. I'm not sure if you can the , but if you can't, then just the preferably because it is the attacking ability that does the most damage.

Tips

-Easier to trade hits with her(if you want) if you have an aggressive support that can do some damage, and doesn't rely too much on heal. Examples of these are , , and .
- whenever you can without a chance of dying.
-When running away from her, attack her once, because if you don't, her passive lets her catch up to you easily, probably getting her the kill. You will also get movement speed for this. Two birds with one stone right? :D

Tristana

Tristana's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Medium

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items:

How to Counter Tristana
Be careful when trading with , especially if she has a stun support. Her will give her a huge lead in health if she lands it, and will also slow you significantly afterwards. This skill also makes her a great turret diver, since it refreshes on assist or kill. Be careful if you are extremely low. Her is like her godmode when she is in the back of a team fight. has tons of range, but this should be nothing to since she can close gaps with the team by using . Close in on her and take her down first end game, but do not jump into the enemy team first.

Her can be used in many ways. She can over someone and them into her team, or it can be used to finish someone off, since it has a decent amount of base damage.

Tips

-If they have a stun support, try and stay out of their range. If it is an , play safe, because he is a support that can stun, heal for a little amount, but is also tanky.
-Kill before she has the full 7 seconds of because those 7 seconds might have saved/killed your team.
- her or , whichever you think will deal more damage and possibly kill you.

Varus

Varus's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Medium

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Varus
If you trade with , try to do it behind minions. If he uses his , it will do less damage for each unit it passes through, therefore resulting in taking less damage. is a passive, and gives him some bonus damage somewhat like Vayne's , you can't dodge this, and if maxes this first, he might deal some burst because of the % health damage associated with it. reduces healing, so if you have a sustain support that is going to heal you, try not to stay in it.

's will spread to others during team fights, so try to stay away from your team a little bit, but not so far away that you're going to be useless. As long as you don't get snared by it, you might be able to survive and even ace their team. If you do get snared, like all the time, I recommend getting a in order to escape it. YOU DON'T DO DAMAGE WHEN YOU'RE DEAD! GET A QUICKSILVER SASH.

Tips

-Stay behind minions so his will do less damage to you, especially if he maxes this skill first. It's base damage is fairly high if he charges it up long enough. if you see it coming, assuming it's off cooldown.
- will snare your entire team in team fights if he's good and if you're all grouped together, rendering you unable to chase or run. Therefore, he is the top priority for you, and should kill him first, even if he is negative and not doing so well. Do not go for him if it means something like you vs 3+ people.
-His passive gives tremendous attack speed on killing targets, even if he has no attack speed, it will give him equal attack speed to yours if you have a . I'm pretty sure it stacks as well, so try to finish him first.

Vayne

Vayne's Skill Set

Difficulty Pre-6: Medium / Hard

Skill Sequence: > > >

Usual Starting Items: & x3

How to Counter Vayne
Try not to trade with unless you harassed well with and , while having leftover mana. Make sure you have enough mana to , because if it is a Vayne, you won't be able to block anything without mana, even if you have good reactions.

's will give her stealth for every during a team fight. Try to get your team to buy an Oracle's Elixer and focus her down before she melts down your whole team in a team fight.

Tips

-Play passively early unless you have a good aggressive support while landing your skills with leftover mana.
-Try to catch alone without her team. That way, it will make team fights a lot easier to win since it is a 4v5. Be careful of her damage early game if she is maxing that first, as it gives lots of additional damage with a short cooldown.
-Her passive helps her catch up to you, and it will be even easier if she uses . The only ability you can is her , so you better have good reactions or you won't be getting any mana back from her.

Gameplay - Early Game

Starting Items

There are two ways to start off for most AD carries, including . You can either start with if you have a sustain support such as , , , etc. OR you can start out with and if you don't have a sustain support such as , , , etc.

will help you last hit easier, give you a little health bonus, and small amounts of lifesteal.
will help you sustain in lane longer, and you might farm up more gold than if you started with . I usually start this path, unless I feel like I'm going to play really aggressive, then I take for the extra damage. It also works better than some other AD carries. Since you have a movement speed passive like , catching up to people should be easier if you started .

Last Hitting
Only attack the minions when they are about to die, therefore, you will not push the lane as far as you would if you were auto attacking. Not pushing your lane can lead to many opportunities. For example, you can get a gank from your jungler much easier, easier farm with low fear of getting ganked, and you can also get a lot more gold as you should be getting 90% of the last hits. Last hitting gives you the gold from killing minions, thus causing you to get your items faster. This is very important as an AD carry, and all of them should learn this. If you don't learn this, you are not playing an AD carry to the best of their ability.

For those who haven't noticed it yet, I am using some reference from my Vayne guide because I am too lazy to take new pictures when I can just use one of my older ones. Maybe I'll change it next time.

Gameplay - Mid/Late Game

These sections are basically doing the same thing. This is when team fights start to happen, and people are fighting over Dragon/Baron control. Tell your supports to get Vision Wards or you can get it as well if you have extra gold with an extra slot.

Do not wander off alone, and stick with the team. Wander off alone, and you will die or maybe cause your team. If you see a wave pushing at bottom but it didn't reach your turret yet, do not leave your team in a team fight or else you might make that team fight a 4v5.

Everyone should have nearly full builds now, assuming they didn't disconnect, or feeding extremely hard. Planting a Sight Ward or at certain places might actually catch the enemy team off guard, thus causing a slight, or even game-changing advantage.

Team Fights

Before team fights, try to buy at least one elixir, preferably or , they will help you deal more damage in team fights.

During team fights, it is better if you stay a little behind your team, as the enemy team will try to close in on you. Be careful if they try to come from behind, because in doing so, you will have easily become their first target.

The targets you should aim for in order are:
AD carry > AP carry > Solo top/Support > Tank

The solo top/support/tank will obviously try to keep you off their carries, but that's also what your team is for. Your team should be trying to catch their AD/AP carry with a snare/stun/suppress or something just long enough for you to burst them down.

Remember to use before you start a team fight, as it gives you and your team bonus attack speed and movement speed. This will give you a slight advantage because they will be trying to catch you with your ultimate on, unless they have no focus and start attacking the person closest to them.

Of course, if you see an AD carry all the way in the back, do NOT jump into 4 other people just to get to them. You will (probably) die instantly making it another 4v5. Aim whoever is closest to you that is not the tank. Unless the tank is extremely squishy, do not focus them in a team fight.
