Still no match found.....
It's like everyone suddenly enjoys playing support, it's funny because last I checked support was the most unplayed role compared to all the other roles.
Damn I want to play bard
Gorsz2 votesWhats the point of playing Bard?
Riot is just going to rework him and claim he wasn't working as intended so all effort you use to master him will go to shit.
8yVkmwxq0D1 votesPlay him as jungle
Final Remnant 1 votesI'd like to play him as what he was meant to played as, before I start doing crazy things with him. I guess I can kind of see how jungle might work for him but he seems awfully squishy and his clear times seem slow as hell, but I can see how ganking would work.
I still don't think it will be that great
8yVkmwxq0D1 votesI dunno, he seems like he'd be a good support jungler, along with a bot support that can become a big damage dealer (e.g., Fiddle, Vel'koz, Lux, etc.). Sure his jungle clear might be a little slow, but he has good healing with his W and gets movement speed when he picks up chimes. It would be much easier for him to support the rest of the lanes if he's jungling, and doesn't have to leave his ADC alone for a while.
IcyPepper1 votesi think his clearing item could be 
since he only has one damaging spell. Not sure what his rec build would be, but that could be a good start (boost his aa damage, attack speed and clearing speed).
Hell, I plan on playing him as a support jungler anyway. Take smite, help the jungler get objectives, maybe forgo flash for exhaust (risky, but strategic diversity).
8yVkmwxq0D1 votesYeah, I think items that would be good for him are:
There are probably others, but I think getting TF first will make it much easier to clear jungle. He can be a highly mobile support jungler.
IcyPepper1 votesArdent censor is alright, but I"m not sure it's right for him. Maybe 
or 
?
8yVkmwxq0D1 votesYeah either of those are good. I only said ardent censer because of his healing packs. Allies can use those and get AS bonus. It also gives him movement speed to move around the map better (zephyr would also help for that).

His main damage is his auto attack after collecting enough chimes :)
Meep Man1 votesIts the release hype. I think Bard's popularity will undoubtably fall off after 1-3 days since his gameplay style is unique only those who like it a lot will master him.
Final Remnant 1 votesYeah, I know it's the hype but my god aside from the fact that he is SUPPORT which most people don't even like playing, he also does have a unique play style which not everyone will like/be good at.
I really wasn't expecting the hype to be this big.....
Sukishoo1 votesSame thing happened when DJ Sona came out, there were supports all over and nothing else.
ElJanitorFrank1 votesI don't think anything about this is ironic. It's kind of expected, the opposite of irony, really.
