Hot chocolate has lots of sugar and will make my Ashe fat.

What better place to hide a trap than a shrine which heals you?

Just like the Relics on ARAM, people will run to them and trigger the trap.

But not me. Oh no, I'm onto them.

hehe

That's because it wasn't as good as the previous games.

Exactly! Remember what happened to the place your head used to be when you picked-up that cupcake you found in the woods? Now I'm supposed to believe magical fairies left this delicious, steaming mug of cocoa (with just enough room to add some Bailey's to it) sitting here on the ground for me to enjoy? In a warzone?! FTS!

I pick Teemo whenever Bard is picked and plant mushrooms on his chimes.

The LovelessJan 20, 20161 votes

That's fucking genius. Wow.

HoodwinkJan 20, 20165 votes

Kinda like how I always pick Janna when Lee Sin is picked so I can cancel all his dashes.

Kinda like how I always pick Galio when Yorick is picked

For those that didn't get it, that's never.

MetalGearTeemuJan 20, 20168 votes

That feeling when you have 3 shrines down, jungler ganks, adc flashes right NEXT to the shrines, runs right past them, not getting heals... not getting speed.

He then dies and complains.

BastionKrossJan 20, 20168 votes

League has conditioned us to avoid anything another player puts on the ground.

And I don't like the look of this Bard character. Something about him just toots my horn.

Carpe VictoriaJan 20, 20168 votes

Funny, i usually see people run across them for no reason like moths to a flame.

Meanwhile... "WTF IS THAT THING ON THE GROUND?". "That's a bard chime. You can't even interact with it."

Milodic MellodiJan 21, 20161 votes

Actually, you can. It breaks if an opponent steps on it. Like Poppy's passive Shield, except it'd be more like Poppy's passive Shield is like Bard's shrine.

disdunJan 21, 20164 votes

You can break the shrines, but you can't do anything with chimes.

Milodic MellodiJan 21, 20161 votes

Oh, I totally mistook "chimes" for "shrines". I'm so used to calling them Pokemon that I didn't even see it.

Unless there is a Teemo playing in the same lane at Level 6+. Then yes, it is a trap, because there is a Mushroom hidden under it.

IcyPepperJan 20, 20165 votes

Ezreal Agreed.

KING OF MASKSJan 20, 20164 votes

I came here to make an Ezreal trap joke, and found that you beat me to it.

But, some fool downvoted you.

I have rectified this.

its funny cause its true

LlaniteJan 21, 20162 votes

Dont know about you but I always drop a Teemo into every shrine I see.

Remind me how much I love Dominion before the bot invasion.

Champion SkinJan 20, 20161 votes

But it need to charge... and I am sure it needs some more time to charge... and maybe just a little more time

(and have you seen how skilled people are at avoiding lux shield... everyone avoids it be it allies or enemies)

Picking Bard is the real trap

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo*[slayer-jinx-unamused]*

The LovelessJan 20, 20161 votes

Lol it's true. Didn't you see Yellowstar ult his own tower and left doublelift helpless to a gank? It was d1 of NA LCS. I wouldn't bandwagon against Bard if there weren't so many cases where he sabotages his team.

I notice you guys cheer when he's picked in LCS because he's the little underdog or whatever, but the disfavor he gets is reserved for the MOST part. Honestly.

ChatillonJan 20, 20163 votes

People get mad at Bard b/c he ults something wrong every once in a while

Then no one says anything about those jinx or ashe ults that whiff and they just say "nyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-YOWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" as they whiz past

I think ppl get more upset than they need to be

and i think you don't realize how strong bard really is

The LovelessJan 21, 20161 votes

The difference being, Ashe and Jinx don't put their mates in as hilariously compromising positions as Bard. I played Bard the other day and he's got some funny damage, and yeah I played him good enough where I wasn't sabotaging my team, but face it, most Bard players make goofy mistakes that you can't help but laugh your ass off at or cringe.

Getting dived? Here comes Bard to overshoot his ult and accidentally disable your tower. Running away? No worries, Bard will ult you to save your life for a few seconds while the rest of the enemy team walks up and gets their assist money. Just used a game changing ult like Fizz and caught most/all of the enemy team? Heeeeeeeres Bard to put them in stasis so your damage doesn't go through (this one actually happened in aram Tuesday night).

I have no problem with experienced Bards who know what they're doing. I'm not even that experienced with him and I didn't play like a jackass. I played him for maybe the 2nd or 3rd time in my life the other day and did great. That still doesn't mean the most common Bard "highlights" we see are when Bard screws his team over.

iHerringJan 21, 20162 votes

My classic Bard moment happened recently. I'm the last one standing in a 2v2 in mid, start heading back to inner turret. Suddenly Bard ult perfectly hits me... just in time for the Ashe and Ezreal ults to zoom right through me.

It was so uncanny, all 3 ults were aimed to perfectly hit me... and thanks to Bard I continued back to base with the 10% HP that I started with.

I probably should have thought to ask what the Bard was hoping to achieve, but everyone who saw it was too busy laughing in all chat.
