Sivir vs Twitch Counter Pick

Deadly Venom ignores armor. That one mechanic accounts for most of Sivir’s 46.5% win rate across 1,283 recorded games on patch 16.13.1: Twitch’s stacking poison does true damage, so the 30 armor she begins with and the 98 she has by level 18 do nothing against the portion of his damage that finishes her. Spell Shield can’t stop it either, since the poison is applied by basic attacks.

• Range. 550 versus 500. Twitch takes the standing exchange before Ambush even comes into play.
• Ambush. Camouflage and a movement speed boost, followed by attack speed on exit. Sivir has no warning and, once Fleet of Foot is on cooldown, can’t outpace him at 335 against 330.
• Contaminate. Every stored venom stack detonates in a single burst, turning a retreat that should have worked into a kill.
• Spray and Pray. Long-range piercing bolts, so staying behind her team no longer keeps Sivir safe.

Sivir answers him with wave control and coordinated movement. Ricochet and Boomerang Blade push waves faster than Twitch can farm, and On The Hunt gives a team enough speed to collapse on a champion with 630 base health and 27 armor before Venom Cask’s slow can lock them down. Durability doesn’t decide this matchup: Twitch ends at 2,296 health and Sivir at 2,368. Twitch is rated 6 for difficulty to Sivir’s 4, and both rely on mana. Full kits: Sivir, Twitch.
