PSA: Starting W With Bard

Laraso··16 votes·1,394 views

There is JUST enough time to place a health shrine for your jungler, mid, and top, collect chimes, recall for mana, and then when you head back into the jungle you'll get there just a second or two before the camps spawn so you can leash.

Don't be afraid to help your top laners!

Hmmm, personally I may simply leave 2 shrines for my jungler on his path instead of for top lane depending on the comps involved, but still a good idea overall. My only issue is that your Q is infinitely better in an invade scenario and this requires by nature an early point investement, but by no means a dealbreaker.

It's not a bad idea, you can definitely give a very helpful hand to your jungler particularily, but when it's all said and done and the laning phase begin, you're still Bard.

I kid, I kid.... Mostly...

I drop 3 Shrines at the start for my jungler, since the jungle is the only other person to but themselves drastically behind to help the team. That extra sustain for them is super nice. Top and Mid can handle themselves.

I may be biased as I Jungle and Supp as main roles.

I think it may be more beneficial in the long run to give them all to your jungler. If they are healthier coming out of the jungle, ganks will be much more effective; especially junglers who have good cc/damage but lack the sustain.

I usually toss one to them if they are around when I am roaming. I'll try keeping 1 or 2 up in the jungle to see how that helps.

I agree with this as well, in fact placing at least two where he starts an the last one at the last buff in the junglers rotation will be good as well. Keep in mind the jungler also has 2 health pots to use as well except for when Nunu is jungling.

I've tried doing this since Bards first day being live, but my top/mid laners would never use them and would die while the shrine is still there. So I said fuck it and started leaving 2 for jungler and worrying more about my adc than ignorant mid/top laners
