Bard's Chimes

One of my issues with Bard are his chimes (the other being his portal and how hard it is to use); half the time they spawn in other lanes or in the enemy jungle, meaning you can't really get them unless your lane is very ahead/the enemy lane is bad.

Is it possible to have the chimes spawn locally (i.e. close to you) for the first ~10 minuets or so of the game?

Now, if it wasn't for a compulsion to pick up those chimes, I wouldn't bother. Why? Because as a utility based support he does not need the extra aa damage or AoE more chimes grant and I wonder why *that *passive was added when those chimes could act like thresh's souls and give him passive gains that help with his survivability or abilities, or do something that jives better with his kit.
