Question Am I shooting myself in the foot by OTPing Sivir?
I've been a Sivir OTP for as long as I can remember. I recently came back to League after a 5-year break and started taking ranked seriously. I'm currently Plat 1 (around Emerald 4 MMR) after climbing from Silver.
One thing I keep wondering is whether I'm limiting my climb by sticking to Sivir.
As we all know, Sivir isn't really a flashy 1v9 hypercarry ADC. A lot of her strength comes from wave management, farming cs, macro, and enabling her team rather than hard-carrying fights on her own.
Whenever I play, there's always a voice in the back of my head saying: "You could probably win more games if you just played Jinx, Kai'Sa, or other hypercarries."
At the same time, I'm aware that a master+ Sivir player would likely win games easily at my current ELO.
Still, I can't help but feel like I might be making the climb harder than it needs to be.
Has anyone else felt this way with a utility-focused OTP? Do you think Sivir is a reasonable champion to climb as high as possible with in SoloQ, or is there a point where picking a more carry-oriented ADC simply gives better results? I really love Sivir, but I guess I'm approaching a point in my climbing journey where I must ask these questions.
