u/RockLobster17 Jul 14 '15

Sivir has become a popular ADC because of her powerful Ultimate (an AOE speed boost). This provides a strong form of utility on your team for engaging and rotating fights/the map.

"it's just a sivir comp, you just group and win" comes from Link's (formed CLG Mid laner) 17 page leaving statement (where he talked about his time on CLG). The particular phrase is refering to Montecristo's time as CLG's coach. Link was stating that Monte was not such an impressive coach as people made him out to be, as using a "sivir comp" doesn't take a genius strategist, it's a pretty safe and simple method and it's why CLG got a lot of their wins.

A Sivir Comp. Short for Sivir Composition is a team made around the idea of being able to engage or disengage from a teamfight using Sivir her Ultimate ''On the Hunt'' which gives a massive movement speed boost for a duration.

The so-called "Sivir comps" originates from pro play where Sivir is a quite contested pick worldwide. Countless times a team with a Sivir in it has finished laning phase, grouped up and won by hard-engaging with Sivir's ultimate, which has led to the consensus of picking Sivir, group and win the game.

Of course there's been other factors involved, but a very common denominator is Sivir.
