first impression of bard

i like him, his playstyle

but it seems to me that he gets too little exp from chimes for the amount of time he has to sacrifice walking to them or he has to walk to far away for the exp he gets from it

his passive is realy gameplay defining but at the same time i didnt find it to be worth, he needs to walk to get mana, so in the end he will be forced to walk, usualy long distances and usualy this will set him back

also the infinite meep stacks mean that you will realy spend a lot of time chasing them, and you will need them while its realy fun to be a roaming support, it feels like bard is forced to roam around the map and not help his team
