Bard's chimes don't do much for his kit

For the record I am not a bard main, play him every now and again. Don't fancy him that much but still feel his chimes need more impact.

Yes bard goes out of his way to roam and leave his ADC vulnerable to go collect chimes..for what? A special auto now and again But honestly I don't think collecting chimes do much for him. Yes they help with his LIMITED auto attacks that meeps attached to them but other than that.. Chimes don't interact with any of his skills..

IDEA:

Leave Q as is

HIS W: Let the amount of chimes affect the amount he heals with his shrines, also. let the amount of chimes he gathers increase the amount of shrines hes actually allowed to lay.. a max amount of shrines allowed on map total is 3.. most of which will be by your turret for your adc..not much support left of other lanes..

HIS E: (a lot of us saw his cinematic teaser trailer thing..HE WAS FUUCKING FAST AND MOBILE.) His E gives no justice in my opinion, if not reduce the CD let bard stack at least 2 magical journeys he can use in short duration this way bard can reposition himself and his team to cut enemies off better. will also make him be the quick fast traveling support we all saw in his trailer.

Leave R as is

@Riot, let Bard be the wandering caretaker you made him out to be. with more flexible E usage and increased amount of shrines on the map he can actually go wander and collect chimes that will benefit him more and on the way he can easily lay shrines for other lanes. and support his entire team,

They also give him mana, xp, and temporary move speed to facilitate his roaming. Roaming is part of being support, not just being Bard. You have to recognize when it's safe to leave bot lane and go pick up Chimes while you're going to do something else like gank mid instead of leaving just to grab them.

They still almost do nothing for his kit, this post is about how collecting chimes should be more of a goal that will overall make bard a better support. all you get from collecting chimes is a couple of stronger autos and some xp/mana/ms which don't do much for his actual play
