Dear Bard players....
Stay in your fucking lane, with your adc. You aren't a cat chasing a laser pointer and you don't need to be walking around the jungle while your adc has to 2 vs 1. Please, it's not hard.
Edit: Leave when you have a chance, and not whenever a chime pops up on the map.
Good time to leave: When they are going back, your adc is going back or they died. Bad time to leave: When the wave is in the middle of the lane, and their support isn't also gone.
