The Life of a Bard is Hard

I'm been maining Bard lately and have had some great games where I felt entirely useful, but in between those games there's at least 2 or 3 games where the other team has 2 or 3 carries (so top, mid, adc) who all get snowballed and I become nothing but a useless health dispenser.

I can ult their entire team but get bursted down so quickly it means nothing. Maybe this is a rant on League being too damage-focused, but it just doesn't feel balanced when the other team has so much damage that literally the only thing you can do is sit back and hope to save an ally or two.

After it reaches a certain point there is zero play-making potential left, unless the enemy team makes some really stupid mistake. It doesn't help that the supports I tend to get matched up against are either the annoying one-trick ponies like Blitz or the equally annoying poke ones who offer no ulility but are basically there to grief you and the adc while you actually try to offer ahem support.

TL;DR Trying to play utility support is like trying to play professional baseball without steroids. Maybe someone will commend you for it but most will laugh because you can't hit homeruns all day.

P.S. Yes this was in Normals because I don't play ranked and I know that playing draft would help getting a better matchup.
