I am not sure what the balance team was/is thinking, the buffs did very little to solve any of the Bard's problems.

1 > CHIME MANA RESTORE - Nice, but most good supports had little trouble with mana issues on the Bard 2 > MEEP RESPAWN TIME - Again nice, but in team fights it does little and in lane his auto-attack range and MS still puts him in harms way too often 3 > Q - Cosmic Binding Dmg Upped - Again Again nice, BUT mostly this is like adding nitrous to a moped, just silly!!

Here is what the Bard needs:

  1. Instead of powering up attacks on every 5 chimes, make it power up on every 4
  2. Increase auto attack range to 525
  3. Increase movement speed up to 335
  4. Reduce mana cost on caretaker's shrine(heals) by 20, and up the heal base by 25
  5. Clean up the hit boxes on Q - Cosmic Binding, just a touch, and maybe a SMALL increase in range

Fixed!

I still tell people not to play Bard in ranked if they wish to win. Too many champions do what he does better.
His q and w are too underpowered. And his e r take skill to use, and both do no damage while having long cool downs. His q or w need to be buffed. He either needs more dmg on his q or a better heal.
