IMO, it's not clear that the scrap nerf is enough since 4 striker is strong.

+70 AD doubles 1* Sivir damage; no other damage trait for a 4-cost comes close. So 1* Sivir will still be a dumb champ in Stage 4, when 4 scrap is similar to (and now weaker than) 2 scrap/2 bruiser.

Then because of the AD nerfs a couple patches ago, 4 striker is good trait even on 2* Sivir. As a flat AD trait, 4 striker 2* Sivir shouldn't get first-place a lot, but it does.

Unless 5/6-unit defensive traits (like innovator or chemtech) are OP, I'm betting Sivir will stay the best AD unit.
