Bard Buff Idea

Courtesy to the Bard Mains Reddit Page, which is located here for those interested.

The buff is directed towards his healing shrines, more specifically towards their late game power. The idea is that the health shrines timer will also be influenced by CDR. This means that the ten second "cook" time would be 7 seconds with 30% CDR, or 5.5 seconds with 45% CDR. Currently, the shrines do not scale well at all into the late game scenario. The idea that Riot was going for is that late game it becomes more of a speed boost, but that's more of support Karma's niche rather than Bard's. To compensate for this, the scaling would be slightly reduced at later levels to avoid just constant, quick healing. Something like 70/110/140/170/200 instead of 70/110/150/190/230. Bard already has enough damage in all honesty, and if anything, he could just use a bit of a buff to his supporting capabilities.

This idea was not made by me, but a fellow Bardian named decolored! Their post can be seen here. They probably explained their idea better than I have here, but this is just for awareness.

I was hoping to see a moar damage post I'm disappointed

As a fellow main Bard, I'm fine with the initial changes. Even though I'm against the heal reduction. And, after reading the reddit topic I do prefer the 1st idea better. Because healing won't be reduced. - And I know that I'll go for E max second always. Got too much fun "late game" with the bonus movement speed

I read this post on the reddit page and agreed with it before... All I can say here is BUMP!
