No it is not. Armor pen is more effective long term but AD runes are better
EARLY for last hitting minions. They also make BB hit harder and that is affected by magic pen.
Also notice last whisper is the first item for the armor pen.

Dorans items are extremely efficient for the gold early. You don't get the blade for the lifesteal, you get it for the HP and damage. The lifesteal is gravy. Vamp as first item is ******ed as you need to auto to get benefit from it.

BB does a **** ton of damage and prove how she doesn't front load damage as good as another champ.

Her damage is good and she can outrun most champs unless they build for speed

Not really. Sivir does good damage and since you have armor and a spell shield you can negate and reduce damage

I said focus last hitting early you only push a lane when you want to push a lane. This is why you don't use BB early except when you can get a full damage shot on your lane opp. I stated this.

Effective strat when used right and if you use wards she won't die and your team can push another lane.

I said nothing of tank sivir. I said warmog atmas for melee defense but sunfire is more effective sooner. This is after getting some offensive items

Sivir is ranged dps. Garen is melee bruiser. Apples and oranges

If you want. Armor is more effective early on especially considering her passive.

Sivir totally has no way to dodge/avoid skills. It would be nice if she had a spell shield wouldn't it?

I said
BASE (early) damage not per level.
Since you don't get it I will explain it. This particular build is designed to make your early game much stronger. You farm like mad and if your opponent steps in to harass you, punish them.
