A Thank you Letter from a Bard Experimenter

Dear Riot (Rito),

I would love to personally thank you for making one of the coolest supports (in my opinion) Viable inside the current meta. Back in the days of the semi-late season 5, I would be reported for trying my "inventions" for bard such as full Attack speed top/jg or the "jungle support" (following the jg and placing shrines, starting camps, helping with ganks, etc.) With the many buffs that have been laid and the new items I can "play with," I am proud to say now that the most awesome support is completely "in-meta," Thank you riot for the best support ever made (and his new skin is ADORABLE, kudos to the skin department).

Much appreciation and <3, DEG

P.s. Possibly my favorite ability on his kit is his Shrines, really helpful when you roam around for the other laners to gain the health they might need in a life or death situation, without the need of having to stand next to them while the ADC gets harassed.

I find it funny when I put a shrine in top and middle lane, only to get random assists and be like, " Wat. Assists? Where did these come fr- Ooooh. "

:l

That and I love ulting Rek'sai's mid tunnel.

xD

He was viable before they over buffed him and thunderlords made his autos do outrageous damage

Back in the days of cinderhulk I loved Smite bard support

  • Give awesome leashes
  • Steel objectives / camps from the enemy -- Use the smite buffs (wolf vision, raptors for ward detection etc..)
  • Surprising burst

Would Build

SS Talisman Mobility + Alacrity Red smite Wits End Cinderhulk

Final item (usually something else with hp, but not always) Frozen mallet was funny, health wee bit of damage and perma slow

Q Stun + Red Smite + AAs would take people out, you would be able to absorb a bit of damage and would be perma slowing. If nothing else it was funny. (Also had a couple instances of "who cares about bard lets just get the drag what's he gunna do about it? Shit..."

Some old match histories of it http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1805370132/201274944?tab=stats http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1841517380/201274944?tab=stats

i love magical journey. ALthough I've never played bard, it's hilarious seeing him put one up and "forcing" champions through it. I once saw a bard put it up in poro king almost acros the entire map and the enemy ezreal came into it was hilarious

I'm sad that he's kind of FOTM now. I liked being really good at him and having people be like OMG WAT BARD DOES THINGS
