Bard needs a buff

Okay so with the Taric rework it basically made bard useless because bard's kit compared to every healing supp (mainly Taric) sucks first off his heal takes a crap load of mana and doesn't heal much either plus on top of that his healing shrines can be destroyed compared to taric and soraka who both can heal for a lot and in soraka's case is instant and doesn't take time and taric's first off can be destroyed and is in an aoe and can be caste on top of the target and the time it takes to reach a full charge can be reduced by casting other spells then there's bard's stun it is hard to hit much harder than taric's and it can only stun 2 to 1 person/people while taric's is easy to hit and stuns any thing it hits bards magical journey is the only move that bard has that doesn't get out ranked by any other champion then there is his ult i feel its under powered especially compared to kayle taric and tryndamere who have the ability to move around and attack and why is it just an aoe zhonya's hour glass it would be much better if bard could interact with people in his ult like being able to cast a spell like his stun in which it would affect the units hit by it after its duration or having the ability to use his meeps to do damage (but not his regular basic attacks) but i also like the idea of being able to "stun" a tower without the ohmwrecker and his ultimate is good for stealing baron and dragon

bruh i play bard a lot i know and comparing him to every other healing supp hes the worst i know some one has to be the worst but if there is a big gap in between them then there is something wrong and ranged harass is not going to make a big difference if u can ult and Gian invincibility or grant it to your entire team and his meeps take time to recharge and are useless if u don't leave lane so the ranged harass is not there either becuase your not going to be in lane and he has a lot of problems being a good supp because of this

Dude bard has already been bufffed countless times. It is just that most of his playerbase play him just for his trolling capability. Not to nemtion bard has ranged harass and taric does not.

Bard recovers manna for free, his heal also has a utility aspect in how it increases move speed. You should be keeping a few of them up in a good retreat path for your adc, and easily recover the mp off 2-4 ish chimes. Now yes bards heal is one of the least powerful heals in the game, but you do not pick bard for his heals, if your comps like OHHH DAAYUM WE NEED DEM HEALS. Bard is not the guy, thats when you go and get the heal bot Soraka.

Next up Taric stun vs bard Q. Tarics stuns a good bit easyer to land, but you get two casts of a Bard Q and has an extra 0.3 seconds duration resulting in 2.1 extra seconds of hard cc compaired to a taric in teamfights and the only requirement is that your not crap at skillshots. This makes it a better ability for peeling, more so when you combine it with rest of his kit. (low heal still gives ms, passive ends up with a good slow, R freazes folks.)

Finaly his R. You can gank, you can cut off escape paths, you can turn towers off which swaps their aggro, you can cc the back line of an enemy team with it. This ability is amazing, its utility and number of uses is fantastic. If your only looking at I CAST THIS ON TEAM SO TEHY NOT DIE then yea its not as good as the others, but if you add in the other ways its usable its vastly superior. Agian like Q requires you to use it well but if one cant thats on them, not the champ.
