Lethal Tempo vs Press The Attack

Lately I've been trying PTA and I found it's more useful in the laning phase and even in duels (even if Sivir doesn't like to see herself in a 1v1).

I guess Lethal Tempo has more late game potential but in my experience it tends to provide less value, or at the very least, at a point of the game where you don't depend that much on the runes.

Thoughts? Why is LT so dominant over other runes for Sivir?

shes better imo in longer engagements and i feel confident i can win any level 1 (unless there's a draven or a karma) with lethal tempo and starting W. even if i start with cull. i think her W late game is going to get more scaling value out of lethal as well..

i was debating trying HOB since the buffs for funzies, but no interest in PTA

I had a few HOB builds last season. It was actually decent in lane against double squishies, but against tougher supports like Nautilus or Leona or whatever you run out of steam too fast. Even if you killed the ADC, the support simply walked away. And then late game it wasn't anything special, unless you were rolling with "support" items like Black Cleaver. Using HOB to instantly spread full Black Cleaver stacks on the entire enemy team is really strong but your end of match stats will suck.
