What Happened to SivHD?

SivHD was one of the biggest League of Legends content creators in the game's early seasons. From his iconic sense of humor to entertaining gameplay, SivHD won the hearts of many in the LoL community. However, after slowly shifting away from the game and focusing on strange Vtube content, one can only wonder What Happened to SivHD?

He really was ahead of the curve when it came to comedic editing. Definitely inspired people like MagikarpUsedFly, Dark Manne, etc

[@N1Moses]

Ye I fell out of love with league after playing 12-14 hours a day just for money boosting. I find myself coming back to videos from the good old days from Siv/The Peace Pigeon and Dunky whenever I'm alone wanting a nostalgia trip.

[@schnader]

It's a shame to see his downward spiral. Back in the day I was absolutely obsessed with him and his content. League creators like him, Sp4zie, Instalok, VGD, Peacepigeon, etc. really made the game feels like a community supported by the developers. It was honestly just a good time to be a League player, because the content scene was full of quality and positivity (for the most part). It's a real shame most of them don't even touch League anymore, but I suppose nothing good can last forever.

[@Klipukai]

You forgot brofresco

[@schnader]

@@Klipukai Can't really call him one of those creators since he just oploaded previews and gameplay, didn't he?

[@user-tu5yi4pe2z]

Is it tho? apart from being a not so great boyfriend I don't really see a downwards Spiral. In the End he should do what he likes. If he doesn't like to play League anymore that's fine, he has no obligations to upload League videos. We can be happy he made good ones but demanding that he keeps on making them is just stupid as it would just be bad for him. I myself am happy for his 14 videos I watvhed instantly as soon as they got uploaded but I'm perfectly fine with him not uploading anymore

[@EmvielleOST]

@@Klipukai forgot Keyori

[@thekiller989]

@@EmvielleOST Keyori was carried by his league friend group. His girlfriend, Dunder, and Complex were the funny ones while he just screams and dies on screen. Also didn't help that all of them would queue up in the same game, and take clips from that same game and post the highlights on their respective channels. So a lot of the times you'd get the same game but from 3-5 different POVs and everytime Keyori's fell short.

I was there when the first Brushi brushi arive. I was there when 6 Rod of ages were a thing. Its was fun when it lasted.

[@Zelmazam1]

You can continue the legend. Buy the rods

[@Traktorwagen]

You forgot to include the assassin rewok in preseason 7 which completely changed 2 of his 3 mains - Kata and LB. He didnt like both and stopped playing them altogether. There was also the Ezreal W rework a few years after that which might seem like a small change, but mostly killed AP Ez too. When the comfort champions you play get "deleted" its hard to keep enjoying the same game. To me this was the point which separates the "good old" vids and the "worse", forgettable new ones.

[@alienalibi2382]

Yesss, I hated that w change

[@alienalibi2382]

Also felt the same way when they reworked vladimir

[@TiborSzarvas]

or karma...man i miss original karma. also nidalee, the infinite scaling on the spears so you could even flash away to deal more dmg haha@@alienalibi2382

[@ZairUmbras]

AP Ez killed..? What..? Season 8, even after Ez's change, was still nothing but Hybrid and AP versions of champs and that continued for quite a bit due to Kai'Sa and the popularity of Hybrid Varus. AP Ez was weak on the first day, but a couple patches later when his ult gained full damage regardless of how many it hit and his W got buffed to 90% ratio and 300 base damage, AP Ez was picked very often. Not as often as AD Ez due to Essence Reaver being buffed for AD Ez to not be a crit item, but CDR, Mana, and tons of raw AD, but AP and Hybrid Ez was a thing that existed fairly often due to Manamune+Gunblade combo being so strong.

[@aaakitsune]

Is Katarina a popular played champion since her rework? She is my favorite champion, but after her rework, ive been unable to play her as she is too high skill cap on now. And ive not seen her in pro plays, wich makes me wonder if there is a hope for another rework in the future.

He was a big part of why I was excited to play the game 10 years ago. I could let go of the grind and sweaty gameplay and actually ENJOY league of legends. Siv was a titan during my favorite era of the game, lots of nostalgia. Sad he couldn’t pivot and maintain relevancy. I’ll miss that time. And that thing with KayPea was pretty awful, hopefully he’s grown up some since.

[@Dyna1One]

As someone who knew him personally, Robert kind of vanished and our friend group collapsed when he started his streaming group, haven't spoken to him since. The situation with Kay seems a little off to me as he never really seemed like that kind of guy and is new to me, he never used his friends for his own benefits. Anyway, I miss him and I hope he's doing well.

[@powder1453]

OK Rebecca

[@Jitterzz]

Was just thinking about SivHD just the other day, so this video was timely for me. I loved his videos, always really funny, but I know that it’s tough to keep up that level of creativity over long periods of time. Definitely do hope he’s doing well these days!

[@markogagic4091]

my all time favourite league content creator and arguably content creator in general. His videos got me into league as a really exciting and fun game and his videos were something i couldnt wait to watch every day after i would be back from school. But yeah league changed a lot and became more competitive over the years and all that fun from old days was completely lost and as many other creators and regular player Siv also stopped playing the game. I was really happy when he go back few years ago but it wasnt the same since league wasnt the same anymore. But im always rewatching his old videos when i get bored and nostalgia really hits hard. Hopefully riot does something to make this game as fun as in the old days and Siv comes back again, enjoying the game!

[@happyraintf]

[@Perrcell]

@@josesantos2084 yeah sure bud. He's WoW streams where comfy and chill as hell.

[@RobVice]

As a content creator myself, I totally get Siv. He probably just got tired/bored of the content grind, stopped posting actively for a while which KZbin algorithms immediately punished by making his channel lower priority and then when he tried to post again, he just wasn’t getting the same numbers like before due to unforgiving nature of YT algorithms, which I guess further diminished his appetite for content grind. Remember watching his stuff back in the days with my friends and it was good times.

[@Dualities]

youtube is 50-70% bots. u either manipulate people or u have no chance to make it

[@AsdPwn3d]

Early league era is some of my favourite time in gaming even tho im mainly a CS player since 2006, LoL S1-4 was such a blast.

[@moonblastx1996]

Siv was incredibly charismatic and funny. His opinion on the game is very relatable. League used to be an approachable game. I played for a decade, and quit a little over 2 years ago. Recently have been playing it a bit again and it's so frustratingly convoluted to get into. Not only are most new Champions super overloaded, the items are ridiculously broken and damage in the game is sky high. You will die faster than you can realize that you're even taking that much damage. Feels like they just kept working on the game for the hardcore community, and forgot that that community was the minority. As a result, they allienated most of their playerbase. It's not the passing of the years that drained League's playerbase to an all time low, it's the game design itself for the most part. It's just too much work to play. As adults with responsibilities, there is little incentive, time or appeal in the game nowadays.

[@lightworker2956]

Indeed. I kind of feel that in game design terms, giving a new champion absurd damage / kits is like drugs: it's fun in the moment, and sure players enjoy it in the moment, but in the long term it just corrodes the game.

[@ickaruus4909]

I mean he just does what he wants, nothing wrong with that. Sometimes he has fun playing league and making videos, sometimes not. I personally loved the short comeback to league with some funny new strats which I didn't think was still possible to do with league of legends. Or the good old playing two champs with two mice was great!

[@kennybell2461]

when i say i loved this guy is saying less, hope he is doing ok and being happy, he made me so happy seeing his lb montages

[@theplayer1035]

I'm new to this channel and I have to admit - I love the content, but I also have a question. Will you guys make a video about ArKaDaTa? He kinda... Disappeared

[@AutarchTFT]

The quality of his content never dipped. However, nature of KZbin is long breaks = drop in views, b/c KZbin is transient.

[@brentcopeland5042]

Siv and KP are still my fav league content. Im glad she still uploads.

[@MrBananabuster]

Was such a nice time back then, told my friends I got a new move with lb the brushy brushy and they all lost there shit when i pulled it of in game. I was playing the game just for fun and didnt bother about ranked. That was the time i enjoyed the most. When I got passionat about the game and grind ranked it became like a love/hate relationship. Siv had such a nice vibe in his videos which I loved growing up with :)

[@ginkotanyuu6924]

Siv inspired me to play lebanc back in the early days of league. Still love his content till today

[@FirelordTwinkyz]

It is sad to think eventfully we will lose most of our favorite content creators

[@discolizard712]

i'm really happy we finally can build full rod of ages again

[@heflar]

i was one of the mods for Siv during his peak, he just disappeared and when he came back he had forgotten all of the people he used to interact with, it was sad.

[@suntzu4607]

I share the same sentiments as the old league youtubers. I am also one of those old players who played in the early 2010s. League is just not the same anymore. It got worse when they catered to the pro scene years ago instead of focusing on making the game fun for the playerbase. That was the time when league youtubers started to feel off and slowly lose passion about the game. I think that was around 2016-2018. I quit at 2016, I got burned out of league.

[@itsicearmour]

The thing I really liked about Siv's content was the fact that he sometimes played builds that weren't particularly meta, or that showcased him just straight up getting destroyed, and still having a great time. When I first got into League I was a toxic little fuck who would constantly rage, but after seeing Siv's content I started reforming in the sense that I just stopped giving a shit about playing good and just having a great time (somewhat contradictory considering it's League we're talking about here) regardless of what my score said.

[@lukastrecha6424]

I completely agree. I believe that he taught his audience the most important thing about the game - that it is meant to be fun. I stuck with league since season 3 and I can only thank SivHD for that. I hate a lot of the new changes, overloaded champs and complete disregard for the community, but I still find happiness in the little things in game and that keeps me going. I think the best thing anyone can do to pay respect to Siv is to try to make their games a little less toxic. Like wishing people "gl hf" at the beginning of the match and saying "gg wp" at the end, no matter who won. Siv may be gone, but his legacy may yet life on.

[@ReisSns]

Siv together with Dunkey were the 2 that got me into the league hype train back in the day.

[@zezula1990]

After all this time, i see that Siv's thumbnail once again. I was that Ashe, and my soul still hurts to this day...

[@vaultboy6911]

He made me love lol ngl with his funny and genuine videos. I love his personality and aspire to be like him

[@delimelone]

It's sad that he like many others didnt manage to keep up with the high demands you have to stay popular on youtube, but his old videos will forever be one of the best and most remembered league videos ever created and that is an even greater achievement I think.

[@levi-buck]

I was attending the same uni as SivHD where he followed the film classes. Funny enough, the uni was called "The Eindhoven school". Or in Dutch: "De Eindhovense School."

[@NatiiixLP]

I will never forget the good old days of "The Stack Brotherhood(tm)", but pretty much everyone from the OG LoL scene has moved on to something bigger or better. Other than NB3, and to a lesser extent T1, I can't think of many LoL content creators who have been continuously active for that long.

[@randomstranger9900]

[@ImoowhenIPoo]

I agree so much on Sivs take about the game changing. I struggled to put it in words but he did it really well. I wish the more slow and methodic chess league will that I fell in love with will return someday, though I don't think it will ever happen.

[@DexTag]

I can't really blame him for his breaks and I don't think they were his downfall. I remember watching every videos of his when League was at it's peak regarding growth. Nowadays it's rather rare that you talk to a random person IRL and they say "Oh I also play League", back then you could take half a classroom and 30-50% of the people played it. And you had such a massive amount of content creators most people watched at the same time. Spazie, Siv, Keyori come to my head right away, but there were probably a lot more of the dominant ones. These then usually started playing with a group and instead of 3, you now followed 10-15. But there was only so much repeat you could watch until it became exhausting to see the same things, I still loved their videos for their personality, but I found myself clicking off the videos rather early or skipping many things, especially gameplay.

[@-lunte.]

[@DjVanillaGuerilla]

His Egirl dating train phase was when I stopped caring about this dude. He used/dated other female League streamers like KayPea and Sovitia. He then had a successful charity stream, which I think broke him because he knew he could never reach that amount of attention again, and lost himself chasing that dragon. Dude used to be a cool guy. But like most people once you get a certain amount of "validation" by others you just lose yourself and become the thing we all hate to see. That why people who make it and stay humble are so respected.

[@pigcowhybrid]

I think one big problem for Siv was the shift in demand for League content. Whereas fun content creators like SivHD and Dunkey prospered in the past, people nowadays would rather watch someone good at the game rather than someone actually entertaining.

[@beleva09]

As someone who religiously watched every single SivHD upload, no matter the game or era, I think his absolute best content came from League when the original rune system of marks, glyphs, seals and quintessences was still a thing. It was a slow decline from there, the biggest hit being assassin reworks. I really miss Siv, he really breathed actual fun into this toxic game and I think I fully stopped playing once I realized he'd fully stopped streaming. Stack brotherhood forever ❤️

[@LordofHogwarts]

What KP said and what everyone else said is up to debate. I trust Siv more than I trust all of these rumours. He's real, honest, amazing and he's made better content than the rest of the League community combined. No one to this day is that hard working in their edits and that entertaining. We love you Siv! ❤

[@ebby2g]

The classic Core build of 5 ROAs on LeBlanc was the best shit ever

[@CloudWalkBeta]

Part of me wonders if this is the problem with youtube, as it sort of encouraged people to post as often as possible… but it seemed like it made everyones content quality dropped in order to up the quantity of videos. The content creators often look burnt out and bored, and it just doesn’t seem to be worth putting in the effort required to make a high quality video anymore. Going from funny music videos to these casual ‘daily high lights’, it just spits on all the sparks of art and creativity he once had.

Siv was the youtuber that teach people how to have fun with league, like any league content of that time are either pro strat meta strat or videogamedunky suffering in the game and showing how toxic league is, Siv is the few that actually treated league as a game you play for fun and that's also reasonable why his content blow up so much, so sad he isn't here now and also not much predacessor to take his place

[@KawaiiKatarina]

I'm glad you spoke about the KayPea situation. Not a lot of people know about it since KP's video was privated and the whole story was buried, many people still believing she used Siv when it was the other way around. I'm an old school league player, I'm less compatitive and just wanna have fun with the game, thus why I related a lot more to the old school streamers like Spazie, Dunkey and Siv. I love Siv's content and he's always been one of the most entertaining people I know. But the KayPea situation really disappointed me. I still enjoy his content and think he's a decent guy, but what he did to KayPea after she sold everything she owned to join him and then agreed to date him if it doesn't affect their business relationship, which she got lied to about and it definitely did affect it, it was just a really shitty move.

[@WorldsMostWantedNPC]

Siv is the only one I know who played LoL like that. He has to know, he has to come back.

[@sinpack]

Siv was synonymous with fun. Back when League of Legends was a fun game. The fact that he didn't have to justify for what he did was the main reason we were all mesmerized by his "don't give a fuck" attitude. He was just there just to have fun and spread positivity in a nowadays full of toxic community. I don't care if he was perfect or not (newsflash, noone is) he made his choices. I just hope he is well in health and is doing good.
