Bard plays discussion

So. After playing Bard and having some Studio Ghibli feels, I have come to realize a couple of things.

  1. Bard's presence alone is not very... Meh. He's not threatening. He's one who roams around a lot and offers utility. Much like Braum, he doesn't have any waveclear unless he has items to do so. But he's not like Braum in the muscular tanky bit.
  2. He excels at allowing his own team to catch up and surround the enemy. Magical Journey helps at this immensely and so does his ult.
  3. His presence in lane with his teammate is to delay it as much as possible. His pokes are slightly underwhelming and not to mention that he has kind of a bad range. However, he may disguise himself as roaming to loop around with the jungler and gank at a very unexpected angle. Basically he's a very good teamfighter but he's kind of not much of a threat on his own.
  4. His Magical Journey is fun as hell.

My God.....I understand that Bard is a new champion but it feels that he's useless in laning phase somehow. His spell that applies slow is on a short range somehow and he has to put himself in a dangerous situation to hit an enemy. Those things that he can put on the ground are also kinda meh for the laning phase and Soraka's heal is way better. His portal indeed is fun as hell but it would be better if you can use it to create a portal for your jungler but you can't since entrance is only on the side where Bard is, the only good use of his ult an be when your team is doing Baron and enemy team tries to kill you so you can escape...As for his ultimate, it is good, but I don't think that any player below Diamond 2 AT LEAST will be able to make a right decision when and ON WHICH team he should cast that massive Zhonya's.

Apart from a big dislike towards his kit I would also mention that he's ugly as hell and the sound he makes is terribly annoying, and yes, he looks like male version of Lulu and I would rename him to LULUDIN or something...It seems that Lulu had sex with Soraka this time so Bard was born...

actually I love Bard's voice over and he isn't that ugly. I think riot did a fantastic job and did what they wanted to accomplish, his kit is outstanding he's just out of meta oh well. One day Bard could be god tier. Oh! plus he's fun and clearly from peoples opinions and the obvious...there isn't any balance issues which means this champion doesn't need to be touched except a buff, and that would be very generous. So we finally have a new champion that people can play and get used to without a huge adjustment causing us to have to get used to them again and giving them a completely different feel. Gnar like this fluffball
