[Bard Buff] Solution to Underleveled Bard Due to Roaming for Chimes

Deep Terror Nami··9 votes·754 views
  • [Fates Intertwined] - Caretaker's Shrine now also gives a 20 second buff to any ally that uses it. While the ally has the buff, Bard shares experience in the area as if he were there (if he isn't). Bard cannot gain double experience from any source this way, and experience from neutral monsters is not shared.

Basically he can get some of his lane's experience while off galavanting and picking flowers collecting Chimes, which don't give him nearly enough XP. Preventing it from taking neutral monster experience means he won't be gimping his jungler on the first clear just because he gave him a Shrine.

The buff time or experience could be cut by a certain percentage if full shared XP makes him gain more by roaming than actually staying in lane.

I get the idea, but if the problem is that the Chimes don't give Bard enough XP, isn't the obvious solution just to make the Chimes grant more XP?

That's the obvious solution; I'm trying to be creative and fun here.

Now you're thinking like a true Balance Team Rioter. Someone get this man a cookie.

Pair Bard to an ally champion like kalista.

Tie the XP share to the movement speed from Bard's chimes so that it ramps up per chime and wears off when it times out.

E.g. 1 Chime = 1:9, 2 Chimes = 2:8, etc

With 1 = 10% of XP.

So if Bard has his MS buffed up to 5 chimes then XP earned by him and his partner is evenly shared.
