TRIGGER THE ENEMY BOT LANE || (MADE FOR SUPPORTS BUT ALL LEGENDS WELCOME TO CHECK THIS OUT!)

Hunkcules··3 votes·609 views

Hello my fellow Legends, Instinqt here. In our most recent patch (7.24) one of the lowest win rate support champions (Bard) got a slight buff. Since then, his win rate has climbed from (globally & all division average) 47% to 49%. Now, that's still under performing, but Bard is a difficult to play champion, and has a high skill cap. I have developed a guide that is a response video the riot's "Good Guy Bard" runes reforged guide, and my guide is called "Bad Guy Bard". I hope you'll check it out, inside you'll find out how I have maintained a 60% win rate this preseason on BARD.

Try these runes on your favorite poke champion, they offer infinite scaling throughout the game, you'll be able to out wit your opponent by dishing out multiple empowered auto attacks, and most of all, you'll have a blast doing it!

Be sure to like, subscribe, and share! I'll be releasing more content for our community as a whole! Have fun, and let me know how the runes worked for YOU!

I tried it... Its good.

A build similar to this is something I was considering after I had tried some other Bard builds, but I was looking at Gathering Storm instead of Celerity, but I have problems with the payoff time and 10 minute "chunks" G. Storm comes in. Celerity is a better payoff throughout the match and is useful early, and late. Gathering Storm has an impact thats pretty decent after 30 minutes, but often times things that happen at 7 minutes color what is happening at 30 minutes, so I reevaluated Celerity as a good replacement.

The other thing I was going to try was Electrocute instead of Dark Harvest, but Dark Harvest has the advantage of not having a huge cooldown time or having a lot of its power tied up in AD/AP scalings as Electrocute does.

I tried those runes, and it felt just about right. Like I said I was working toward a set of runes like this one, but I may test these out for a while and drop some of my other configuration test since these are pretty good...

Last thought, the opening to your video was probably one of the most pretentious things Iv ever seen; maybe some people are into the kind of nonsense time wasting intro you did... but ughhhh I had to force myself to sit through the opening bit. You may not care, but Im just sharing my opinion. Im really not trying to flame you, it was overall a good video (the popping sound effects were too loud also, but thats nitpicky), and you deserve a pat on the back for making a good video. Thank you for the guide, and a good Bard build.

A for effort, thanks again.

I gotta say thanks for this vid, very in depth, though it could do with better summary for the runes ideal build, and yeah agreed with the above about intro, but great stuff otherwise. I was able to get a S and earn a chest using this having only played bard twice before (and not well I might add) after only 3 games. I probably could have done in 1 if not for being up against champs that counter bard the first two games.

If you ever make any for other support champs like this I'd love to read them.
