BARD!!! please do something!!
Sorry, but I'm not Thresh. I can't magically pull my opponents too us and give us a kill. I am also sorry I am not Leona, I can't jump on someone, stun them, and have limitless amounts of HP.
I think the main problem with Bard is that ADC's have been babied by cookie cutter supports for so long that they forget that there are other strategic ways to win lane. Yes Bard takes co-ordination, and I know this is hard when every ADC is hard wired with tunnel vision to simply last hit, and AA. Its hard when an ADC simply see's Bard for one ability, his Q. It's his only stun outside of his ult, so most players feel it's his only abilities. They don't notice the mass amounts of heals I have given them. They don't notice the tunnel I made to rush up and help jung or mid for a quick second; and they sure as hell don't notice my AA's harassing the enemy as it does little damage, but it is still very annoying to the opposition.
ADC's are use to the flash grab and pulls that make their jobs brain dead. As a Bard player I hope Riot incorporates more thought provoking champions like Bard to help push the meta into a more strategic way of play.
