Por qué
Sivir has no way to contest Caitlyn's range: her shield eats one spell, not stacked headshots, and her speed ultimate creates no kill angle against traps.
Impacto en la línea

Zone her off farm with headshots, ring the plates with traps and take every trade she accepts: none of them are good for her.

Cómo jugar
Place traps on your retreat line before every trade, keep the net for her dash (not for tempo) and Q-poke when her veil is down.
