BotRK on Sivir....
Wat...
I feel like BotRK is a subpar choice on her. PD or Shiv seems a lot better due to giving her crit, ms, the necessary AS and MS boost. She needs as much ad as possible early game to boost her abilities a lot and since she has a free AS boost now with her W + ulti building BotRK then another AS item is not a good thing. Either BotRK or Shiv/PD? Sure, but the latter is most likely better, imo.
You say that she needs a lot of AD in early game and suggest statikk shiv and FD while it gives her zero AD. I see it this way: since she has AS boost on 3 attacks, it doesn't mean that she don't need AS in early game. Botrk gives you AD, AS, active MS+damage nuke+heal+slow. The only way i will skip building it on her is when i get 3k gold from first fountain trip

If I have over 1550 gold on my first trip I just buy a BT sword or a Scepter, depending on how I'm doing in lane then buy the one I didn't buy before. That's what I do. Wasting gold on BilgerWatter Cutlass to then a BotRK because you didn't have more than 2.4k gold on your first trip to the base isn't good at all.
So, you end up lining with BF sword and doran blade/common blade after first trip? And this scimitar helped me to secure a lot of kills. Also, it gives you damage and lifesteal, which allows you to last hit easier and gives you more sustain, while BF sword fives you little more damage aaaand that's it. Looks like buying BF sword on first trip is more of a waste for me.
I don't get your hate on this item, it's really great thing to pick up early, because of 100 burst damage and slow, and passive lifesteal + ad

Also, I'm looking for opinions, cleaver worth it on Sivir or no?
What is optimal item for getting away from Singed/Voli/Shyvanna then? I have bought botrk on every adc with short attack range (Quinn, Urgot, Siver) and on Twitch (because ambushing enemy with cask+botrk/scimitar+ult+AA+expunge usually ends a life of some unfortunate support, adc or ap squishy on early-late game)
BC is weird item, if you do have a lot of physical aoe, then yes, other way it is not.

Like I've said, sustain isn't a problem for me. Also, scepter is only 800 gold. It's easy to farm that shit and go back and get back, it's fast.
I'm not hating on the item. I'm just showing my dislike for it as a first item on Sivir or as a item on her at all.
Seems pretty wasted. Tried it myself on a couple of games, not that many but I'd rather go the 'conventional' way for obvious reasons.
One lifesteal quint? Total of 2% lifesteal? Your base regen is better than this, because you get 2 health out of 100 damage you do. You get 3, or you don't get them at all IMO

I have one because it's enough once I start getting more ad, like a BT sword. Also, I don't mind nor is it hurtful for me to give up on an AD quint(2.25) for a life steal quint since I don't have problems with csing.
Botrk on Sivir is shit. If you are stomping lane just skip VS and go for IE, otherwise built BT. Gz, you are now on your way to free LP
Sivir scales on AD. AS is absolutely shit on her, due to her poor base and the way the scaling works.
She's an AD caster, not an auto attack turret. If you want to get away from people, you have your ult on a stupidly short CD and a spellshield.
Sivir needs one thing and one thing only at the start: AD. You have two options, BF Sword and BF Sword. Whether you turn it into an IE or a BT is debatable, but I prefer BT. It gives her absolute lane dominance and lets her shove even harder.
With 2 LS quints and a Doran's blade (maybe 2 Blades), you'll be fine for sustain with a BF Sword unless you seriously fuck up.
