According to champion.gg, Bard has a 47% win rate, and there's a good reason for it. As I've said before almost every aspect of his kit has counterplay. He has so much counterplay it's stupid. His enemies can see his chimes, they can destroy his shrines, you can dodge his q and his ult, and they can chase him through his portal. I stand corrected. Bard's ENTIRE KIT has counterplay. So why the need for this massive nerf?
Silly Neeko4 votesI think you ONLY read what was reworked........ and did not read that:
AT EVERY 5 CHIMES HE GETS +15 DAMAGE TO HIS MEEPS! they do not say and show it in every single one, because it is just implied now.

Only after 105 meeps. And this totally makes up for everything he lost, right?
Lyndris1 votesNo it is every 5 chimes he gets the damage. He chimes up much faster now. I don't believe he really lost anything

AAANNDDDD you are still missing it. Here, let me pull up the patch notes....
Oh look! it says, and i quote.....
NEW! Grow Your Meeps : Meeps now gain an additional 15 damage for every 5 chimes in addition to other chime bonuses.
YA-HA-HA! : Chime Tier Bonuses RESTRUCTURED! All damage tiers have been removed, and every tier grants improved utility.
That is literally the first two lines when it shows the Passive - Travelers Call.

He used to have an 80% slow with enough chimes. Now it's only 75%. That's a nerf.

He gets 9 meeps to toss for a total amount of.... If i remember right.... 9 seconds of slow time as opposed to 3? Ill take that over that extra 5% slow you are now piping up about after you facepalmed obviously as hard as you did.
spaceman spiƒƒ1 voteshe was ridiculously buffed. it's not about slow %, its all about the number of meeps bard has.
they greatly increased the amount of meeps he can get, how early in the game he can get them, and how quickly they respawn. overall, insane buff, especially coupled with the recent chime speed buff.
bard is in a spot where if you are practiced enough on him (and can survive his weak early game) he can solo lane, and solo carry

Homeboy got some buffs.
Big Lincoln2 votesit was a buff.

Nick Da Chip1 votesApril fool's! ...Wait.
spaceman spiƒƒ1 votesLOL I came to the boards to see if they would REVERT his recent buff, and all I'm seeing is people asking why he was nerfed..
He's so incredibly strong right now. I mean, if youre on top of your chimes, you can get 4 meeps at 25 minutes!!! that used to be his LATE LATE game. And at the next tier he gets a 5 second meep respawn!?!? thats just bananas.
I do love me some bard, but holy hell riot, once people figure out that you guys DIDNT nerf him....
