Make Bard's abilities scale with Chimes!

I would like for Bard's Skill shot and Heal to scale with chimes. I'd like to be able to feel like I'm helping my team by farming chimes, rather than just running off and leaving my teammates alone for a itsy bit of AoE or slow.

So this is my proposal.

Cosmic Binding

**New: ** Collecting Chimes increases the damage of Cosmic Binding (1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5 per chime at levels 1/2/3/4/5 of Cosmic binding) New: Every fifty chimes increases Cosmic Binding's stun duration by 0.2 seconds.

Caretaker's Shrine

New: The shrine's heal scales with the number of chimes collected. (1 HP per chime at instant and it increases at 0.1 per second on the ground to 2 HP per chime collected) New: Shrine speed boost increases by 1% per five chimes.

These buffs wouldn't have much of an effect on the early game, but it'd be very helpful for Bard players for scaling into the late game. It's a problem that collecting chimes currently doesn't give enough to the team, which causes bad behavior towards Bard players leaving to farm up on chimes.

I've been saying this since the start. Chime scaling would make so much sense and make the minigame really rewarding. It scales the passive, why not everything else too?

I know right? I was really confused as to why such a unique mechanic contributed so little.

Or at least increase his scalings so that building AP or not remains relevant.

agreed except the stun should be capped at 0,4

Yes, except for the stun duration scaling infinitely. That would be derp.

You average between 50-90 chimes per match, if you're not actively chiming. (AKA: You're sticking with the team and not running everywhere for chimes)

In a long match, possibly 120ish. So a possible 0.4 second increase by 40-50 min. Yes it scales infinitely, but it'd take ridiculous amounts of wasted time to stack up to Morg root or beyond Morg levels of lockdown.

The heal would also not increase by any gigantic amount in any normal match length. It'd be on par with several other healers' heals in the later game when fully charged.

So I love Bard and am afraid of over-buffing him but I do really like these ideas.
