Bard's Ultimate does not complete casting when he gets killed. The animation will be on the ground and the missile will have already left but it cancels immediately if he dies. This should be fixed, if you successfully cast an ability, it should complete.
Qarekeo2 votesThis would be a nice change for him so that the cooldown isn't wasted on him when he dies midcast. Bard is a really strange champion though, and may be hard to balance because he has such a strong focus on utilities instead of numbers.
That said, if you're dying while casting that spell you might want to reconsider how you use it. I make this mistake a lot too and I'm trying to figure out when and how I should use it. I think it's a great long-range lockdown spell for fleeing enemies or stalling objectives like dragons for your team. Otherwise it's up in the air.
LeeDark3 votesI still badly want to see a Bard + Panth wombo combo.
Blue Moon Wolf2 votesthrow in a Ziggs ult and a GP ult and you have the ultimate in circle ult combo's (as long you do it in the right order... looking at you bard)
BlunterMonk3 votesFinish it off with a Lissandra ult and you got a full party.
iluvalar1 votesI still badly want to see a Bard + Panth wombo combo.
I don't see any combo here. option 1 : panth go first, he deal X dmg. Bard never ult. option 2 : panth go first, he deal X dmg. bard's ult land.. they wait 3 seconds. option 2.1 : panth go first, he deal X dmg. He use his hourglass. bard's ult land.. panth gets out while everyone is frozen, option 3 : bard's ult hit first, panth land on it. He deal no dmg. option 4 : bard ult first, they stop. panth jump in right as they unfreeze he deal X dmg. option 5 : (the derp) panth land out of everyone and then get stunned near the bunch of them for 3 extra seconds by bard. He insta melt once everyone group around him
Even if technicaly option 4 have some synergy in it. Think at what it takes ! Bard need a great long range ult and then panth must channel his own right on BEFORE bard's ult even land. How would that be significantly better then panth just landing his ult correctly in the first place ?
LeeDark1 votesThere is no "landing Panth's ult correctly." With such a long channel and warning, his best hope is that he put it far enough behind the team that he can now flank them for the teamfight. However, when Panth has help, his ult can do MASSIVE damage. Here's an example of a similar wombo combo that required even more precise timing, in the EU LCS just last year.

Malphite has to land that ult at exactly the right moment, and the enemy still has a little time to react to Panth ult before Malphite can go in. With Bard, you'd be able to set up the entire combo from the fog and hide your team so there is less chance to react.
Razgriz9902 votesEm it's actually not a change, it's a legit bug. Around 75% of the time it works and goes through, but sometimes it won't. Can't tell ya how many times I've ulted to try and save myself, but die with it mid air and hit the enemies lol
Bolwinkel1 votesThis happens a lot with vel'koz on his w and e
Curling Veigar1 voteshappens with veigar e too
Cleril1 votesI think it's intentional. Xerath has some abilities that will cast and others that don't.
TaoistMaster1 voteswhere is that circle ult team???
get them on this
ComannderShepard1 votesAs a frequent bard player I agree, this would be a nice small change. Have a +1 ;D
