Bard problem, Riot please read this !

Hi all,

I feel really annoyed when i was adc and Bard is my SUPPORT !

First, I could not focus on farming because Bard had to roam and collect his positive and the enemy support would poke me freely when Bard was away !

Second, his Magical Journey is useless when we were laning during the starting 15 minutes. Also It was not very helpful when we trying to escape because the enemy could walk through the portal too ! (I don't understand the logic behind this. Is Bard a support for one team or he should be a support for both two teams !? )

Third, his caretaker's shrine is predictable for all. It heals little when we fought. And if the shrine was a bit away from me then I had to walk back while the enemy was still attacking me! Most of the time I was slayed when I was trying to reach a healing shrine.

And the main problem, HIS STUPID ULT ! Every times we fought at bot line or team fight, Bard ult did not help at all. His ult like a free Zhongya for them and we had to wait the spell effect gone. This is really painful because it gives enemy more time on waiting their spells up again or waiting their teammates to come. And sometime it caused my teammates or me been stunned at the front line and could not have chance to escape. I had met many times when I almost killed the enemy adc or support, then Bard ult us all then the enemy adc and support escaped from me or they turn around and killed me.

I wish Riot could re-make Bard.

That's not really a Bard problem; that's a "this guy who played bard problem". While I believe that Bard seems too weak, your result wasn't really anything different than a Blitz who misses every hook except when he pulls the tank into your team or a Thresh who doesn't know when to use a lantern.

A good Bard would only leave when you're in a safe position to farm, had great vision, healing shrines for if you get poked down a bit. If that Bard didn't have either done then its the player not the champ

You can stun them the moment they get through it which can lead to some crazy baits. I've baited an enemy team into my portal after me once and we ended up acing them with a wombo.

Stop picking them up the moment he sets them down? I've had a number of people tell me his heal sucks when they'd step on it 2 seconds after I set it.

And the main problem, HIS STUPID ULT ! Every times we fought at bot line or team fight, Bard ult did not help at all. His ult like a free Zhongya for them and we had to wait the spell effect gone.

How is this any different from being walled/pillar'd by trundle? or a blitz hooking the tank right onto you? It seperates the good from the bad Bards
