Let Bard hit wards without losing his chime bonus movespeed (Like the mobi boots changes on PBE)

Apostle of Light··119 votes·2,606 views

It's a bit frustrating when you're roaming around collecting chimes with 3+ bonus movespeed stacks but then you see a blue ward and have to choose to either leave it there or lose a huge amount of movespeed simply to aa a ward as you pass by.

And cloud drake, too, if it doesn't work that way already. And MF, because consistency.

MF's passive already only expires when damaged, not when attacking.

What really annoys me is that it disables Taliyah's passive.

Oh yeah, add her to the list. And the "move speed when out of combat" mastery. In fact, go through every effect in the game that cares whether you're in combat or not and decide whether being "in combat" with a ward should REALLY count as combat.

let Jhins 4th hit act as 2 hits on wards too

Apostle of Light15 votes

I kinda doubt they would do that since they changed pink wards to only 4 hits but that would be nice

Or just have it so 4th hit doesn't proc on wards, and doesn't waste %health damage and disarm you for another 2 seconds.

Another way to solve this across the board would be to make it so that attacking wards doesn't count as being "in combat"

Yes they really need to do this! As a Bard main id love to see them do this because it is frustrating. Good job pointing this out.

Bard, and anything else that would function like that.

Same for Taliyah's passive too, please. "Only works out of combat" and yet triggers the cooldown even when just using an ability without hitting anything.

make it so Blitz gets to place 10 wards at a time then.

Stop spamming.

I've posted it twice because I'm seeing which time of day and which day of week would generate more traction. I got my answer. Sunday=very little traction

I've been trying to figure this out as well. Certain hours you jump to front page, some hours downvote trolls are abundance and bury your post. And some hours you get no upvote but 68 view.

Yeah it's really confusing. I think early evening is the best time to post from what I've tried.

Isn't that literally the choice you have to make? Because it's a strategic decision? That you have to choose what's best at the moment...? Like 'more chimes vs enemy vision' ?

I mean, I get it, but it also just really sounds like you'd rather not have the problem of making a small decision. just saying.

My reasoning is that if they're basically doing the same thing for Mobi boots, why not do it for Bard because it's basically the same function? I don't think the point is so you have to make an inconvenient decision. It just happens because attacking a ward counts as being in combat, which it seems like they want to change.

it's a false decision though. 100% of the time you need to clear that ward, and it feels bad to lose your MS for it. It's really a trap - you don't ever want to leave wards up (especially blue wards), but you HAVE to lose your bonus MS to hit them.

If they can feel okay making it so Sona's powerchord isn't consumed or mobi boots don't count as in combat, I don't think it's too farfetched to ask for Bard's bonus MS to function the same way.

how about we just make it so wards die on their own so no character in the game actually has to do anything to win

how about that

how about we just flip a coin and see who wins to determine who wins matches

.....okay?

I can't tell if you're stupid or trolling.

Derfel1 votes

Maybe it's cause you're stupid. I mean you post on this board so it's pretty clear.

Astôlfo2 votes

The irony of something like you trying to tell me that... meh whatever.

Apostle of Light1 votes

Something tells me you've been on tilt lately

Battlecast Sona2 votes

how is this post even remotely related to what he's asking for? he doesn't want to be counted as in combat when he hits wards. He's fine with hitting them he just doesn't want to lose bonus ms. wtf?

Upvoted, yeah you are right. Not in the point you made for for Bard: That champion has already a lto of budget in his kit,he should do more meaningfull choices between that free mobi passive and killing a ward.
