Bard's E should deal 1 damage to every enemy champion who passes through it

Zac x Me·Sep 6, 2015·299 votes·7,793 views

Just like Trundles pillar does, because it's not fair luring 2 - 4 of them into certain death but getting 0 assists out of it.

Relevant non-game breaking buff, thanks Rito.

Or riot could just properly code non-damaging-cc (slows, displacements or otherwise) to net assists like they should

they already do

the only reason why trundle's pillar does that to put people in combat to stop things like mobility boots or garen's passive

It is actually because it is a very powerful turret dive tool. It deals damage to draw turret aggro.

WarlockLawSep 7, 20151 votes

I count bard e as a form of cc yet it does not give an assist

Actually it was so that turret would agro him when he used it to stop backing under turrets. The more you know

It slows and getting slowed puts you in combat so that's kind of invalid.

Nice one.

it should also do 1 dmg to teammates so you get assists when they die too

it fits bards theme of being troll as shit

Didn't there used to be a bug where Heimer could kill teammates with his turrets?

Bard should be able to use E on a enemy champion, ripping a hole through them, dealing true damage equal to 100% of their maximum health, while shredding 90% their resistances.

Fiora Would be even better since she'd reflect the resistance shred too.

Riot should have you work for their balance team.

Nop. Sad Bard is sad.

Because it technically could not help your team at all.

Edit: came back and people didn't realize i was joking.

Jesus he's not asking for assists for them to just use it.

Displacement that deals no damage and terrain modifiers don't.

Janna's ult won't give you any assists if only the displacement and not the heal were used (say no ally was in range for the heal and you used to to push the enemy back line into your front line, or to push an enemy into your turret so he dies).

Bard should be able to cancel his E at any time, trapping anyone inside in solid rock for the rest of the game.

Yber NandoSep 6, 20154 votes

Wasn't this so champs that change the terrain could've been aggroed by turrets?

SenpandaSep 6, 20153 votes

FistOfSharkieshaSep 7, 20153 votes

Honestly, I hate Bards. At low elo they interrupt channeled ultimates and let enemies catch up to you or escape half the time.

However, I would love this non-toxic part of his kit to receive a buff, I honestly believe he deserves it. It's more of a QoL thing that should already exist anyways. Kalista's sentinel looking at you gives an assist yet Bard forming an elaborate trap doesn't?

Enemy Yi 1v5's your team, /dance's and then escapes at 1 hp but uses the magical journey to escape in style...

i was playing varus the other day and even though i got a clean ult off, i got no assists... i was pretty disappointed xD

Zac x MeSep 25, 20152 votes

I still want this, there are enough situations where you can't Q backwards or use a basic attack on them. Everyone who really plays Bard knows this.

kJsSep 7, 20151 votes

I think his E should simply deal damage; magic damage scaling with like 10% AP so that it give bard some extra damage.

AbrahamBaconhamSep 7, 20155 votes

You say that like his Passive and Q harass isn't already beastly in lane.

Those Meeps are vicious, yo.

Considering how it can max hit 2 people, I heavily doubt he "stunned them all" no matter what he did.
