Does Bard Need a Nerf?
I am a
**Bard **main, kind of. He is one of my favorite champions, he is strong, hard to play, full of options and rewarding when played right. He has a lot of damage, a stun, a heal, an ability that allows you to pass through walls and one of the best ultimates in the entire game that can make or break games. This current meta fits him as his utility can be used to fight Assassins. He is probably. at the moment, the second best support, even though
Janna wins at that category by a mile. The question is, does
**Bard **need a nerf?
_His passive requires you to play smart and know when to roam, but, when you stack it up, it allows you to deal bs damage.
_
_His Q is a decent spell on it's own, but, when paired up with his passive, it allows you to make some crazy plays, if you use the spell correctly. It can pass through one target, so, you can use minions, walls, turrets and other champions when using this ability. It also deals truckloads of damage if used right.
_
_His W isn't that strong, it heals you decently in the laning phase, but, later in the game, the thing that's more useful about it is movement speed, at least in my opinion, though the heal isn't bad neither.
_
_His E is one of the best spells in the game, in my opinion, and it's a key part of his kit. It can be used in so many ways, but, it's not something that allows you to escape in all situations and it can obliterate you.
_
_His R can really make or break teamfights. It can be used to catch enemies, escape, start teamfights, secure objectives, dive turrets, but you can also screw up your own team.

So, from what you've heard,
**Bard **sounds fair, hard to play and, all in all, extremely well balanced. But, there's one factor that's kind of unfair about him, and, I'd say that's his damage. I think he deserves a minor damage nerf, and, this is coming from a
**Bard **main, so you know I'm not just a butthurt kiddo that hates playing against him. One of the reasons why he deals so much damage is also an item that is kind of broken-ish right now, and that is
Frost Queen's Claim. I think he deserves a small nerf to his damage, but, other than that, I don't think he is really a problem.
Discuss!
, they have 1 damage ability and they need something high in base damage with decent scaling to stay relevant.
Passive takes too long to become relevant, there is no way to get more than another bard at 15min then the max that spawn.
The whole reason I can see him as strong right now is the fact the meep and auto count as 2 attacks, and thunderlords is still super strong...
But a smart bard should be strong.
He can't 1v1 carries or anything so there shouldn't cough
be a problem
