His passive should not grant him exp. the movespeed and mana is enough.
His Q should really just be a snare not a stun. OR it should only proc on champions/walls. not minions.

BUFFS

His R should only proc on champions, not monsters. However if used on allies it should give them an advantage after its effects wear off (like a shield, or movespeed)
His E should silence enemy champions for a small amount of time after leaving the other side

Others are more debatable in my mind, but why do you think these two are necessary?

Especially for the first one, we have to remember that Bard's current selling fantasy is that he roams, a lot, and not only does he roam a lot, but he does so during the laning phase. We already have an entire class of champions who do this, we call them Junglers, and the ones who feel like they need to divide themselves between ganks and farming (I point out these guys specifically because their play style best represent roaming support's play style) properly usually manage to fall behind in levels, so we know for a fact that a roaming play style is inefficient on the amount of exp you get. Why do you propose that Bard's now primary means of getting exp while outside of lane, a functionality he needs if current evidence suggests a pattern, should be removed?
