[Gameplay] So i really love Bard but his passive...
Bard
is a really great champion and i love playing him as both a support and fighter/tank top (ikr?). What I have found are two possible bugs (that are fairly similar) that affect his meeps that are activated by basic attacking an enemy.
**1) **Now i have noticed that if the enemy (mostly minions) where to die before your basic attack where to even hit the minion (you have already attacked and the projectile is on its way) then the meep charge would still be consumed. This is easily tested. All that poke is gone and you only have one or two charges.
**2) **There is also a similar problem for when the basic attack already hits the minion and is killed by it but the meep (being slightly delayed) would have nothing to hit and still be used. Now with this problem I have noticed that when you gain the strike-through ability they are activated even if the target is dead by the time the projectile reaches it, which is alright but with no affect at all it is just wasting a charge (which is extremely detrimental to your laning). This problem is slightly harder to test but as long as there are minions and you have charges you could do it.
I love Bard and playing him top lane, but i understand if this possible bug is not an issue because he normally isn't supposed to be top anyways, but i would be delighted to see this fixed.
Please leave your personal feedback and experiences with Bard as well. Thank you for reading.
TLDR: Passive charge is lost and you lose lane potential.
