Alright, so I'm probably one of the worst Bard players. Support main and I do moderately well on other champs despite the fact I play like a retarded monkey. I just wanted some tips for Bard so that I can improve on him, as I really like the champions design and gameplay, yet I struggle to pull it off.

Umio1 votesHi:
max Q - build CDR and AP - STUN STUN STUN - and then Max your E, forget all about your W [use this as a speed burst only] - if you magical journey and are being followed [ intentionally bait ] ensure to Q them just as they land coming through your tunnel.

Any tips for landing q's on people that aren't coming out of your magical journey? I don't know why but I have an unaturally hard time landing Q's with bard.
The Last Ballad1 votesDon't listen to the w thing, if you are against a heavy poke lane, put another point or two(two if you are against a Cait/Zyra lane or the like...) into it after q is lvl4, then finish q and e. W should not be first max(or second), but there are times where the extra healing power in the laneing phase is helpful. Also, early game, PUT THE SHRINES DOWN AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. Bard's heals may be horrible throughout the game compared to Soraka or Nami, but they are much better than Sona's heal if you let them charge up, and they are up just as often.
Narvuntien1 votesIt took me awhile to learn him as well. I fed horribly for my first 5 games he takes some getting used to.
remember to auto attack the enemy for massive poke, bard has a lot of damage in his auto attacks.
