PSA: Clarification on Bard

Pie Cubed··6 votes·733 views

I find this a little weird. Many people in my games never see how Bard's health shrines work. Please read this; I get so many clueless ADCs who screw me over when I play Bard.

  1. My health packs look like a circle in the ground. It charges over time. When you see the shrine stop charging, you will get more healing out of it. Unless you're in immediate danger, let them charge up please. It's more mana efficient.

  2. My health packs restore HEALTH. If you walk over it you heal a bit and get a speed boost.

  3. Can you please not be AFK or watching other parts of the map when walking back to lane? Many times have I had my ADC walk into lane while looking at other things, not knowing they just ran over and wasted 2-3 of my health packs. They cost a lot of mana in laning phase.

  4. Don't take health packs you don't need. Like, if you're at full health and you take one auto, don't go gobbling up all the health packs, please. Save it for when you need the fast healing.

Keep these in mind if you ever have a Bard support as an ADC, please, it's rather annoying when people are so clueless.

I have a policy that prevents me from playing Bard in ranked. Whenever anyone steps on a health shrine that isn't finished (I use snow day bard) I yell "<insert champ here> wait for your god damned cocoa to finish!"

I do this regardless of my current position in relation to the enemy team. Surprisingly it hasn't killed me yet, even when teamfights started as I was typing.

My team learns very quickly that if they need a heal/speedboost before before a cocoa is finished I will put one under them.

Yeah I use the snow day skin, too. The visuals and sound are a lot better, since I can just tell them to wait for the sugar cube to hit the hot cocoa.

You also get the uncanny ability to slaughter people with penguins.

honestly if my adc wants to pick up all those health packs by accident or when they aren't fully charged that's their fucking problem. if they die because they didn't have 40-50 extra health or something like that then that's their problem. I'll just go get my chimes and roam somewhere else if they are causing a commotion about it.
