I'm a Quinn main, was so from way before her rework. I can tell you it's horrible when your champ becomes FoTM

I was a Quinn main before the rework, I don't like the new kit at all though.

ModWulf HelhammerJan 7, 20163 votes

It...didn't really change much. A Quinn main can easily play her and do pretty much exactly what you did before (and I play her as an ADC, which the old blind was better at fighting then the new one, as well as the ult)

VesarixxJan 7, 20161 votes

The ult was one of the things I really liked about her kit, I played her mid and top lane a lot more than ADC, used her more as an assassin than an ADC really, losing the execute ult and her melee form for an ult that's basically just mobility boots kind of ruined the feel of the champ.

I hope Bard doesn't get noticed in the LCS, and then again does.

I hate everyone presumes I'm the worst player alive for playing him, even maining him. D:

Maybe the LCS can prove to them Bard is amazing and has amazing potential.

He has been noticed. Several pros (or for or pros) play him, notably Aphromoo and Krepo

He does. He just not your typical support. His ult, whenever possible, should be used before ganks if enemy warded. His Q stun is nice.

Thing I found with Bard: Only good in 3/4/5 Queues, to make the very most of his E, and to tell ppl when to back off so you can ult enemy, etc. He needs lots of communication to become god himself. I dunno why ppl don't realize this. His E is a portable flash (in the sense of passing through walls and chasing, not so much for escape, although you can still E through a wall into your turret) He works best with Jinx, for example: If the enemy dives you, punish them with a Ult, move in, Jinx use E, then W, then Bard Q, etc. He has lots of potential. Just never use him outside of a skyped party, or he will never be as good as he can be. Ppl think he is bad, because they try to use him like your typical support. :/

I'm gonna get 10+ downvotes for defending Bard now, aren't I?

Itadaki SeiekiJan 7, 20162 votes

I don't think so. Bard is a good topic. Not too OP, but not UP at all.

He's a great support in the right hands.

BoosterinoJan 7, 20161 votes

Yeah, still, can't deny at least some level of teamwork not often found in solo Queue is needed to play him, even decently. At very least, duo queue yourself and an adc.

Also, enemy might as well not flash at all, cause bard's got E. :P

I always like seeing those 2 minute long escapes, no matter which team he's on. I feel like singed mains must like him. >.<

He is terrible on solo Q due to the weird potential of his kit making it hard to capitalize on his utility without proper communication

Itadaki SeiekiJan 7, 20161 votes

It's a lot easier than you think. Just set up your ADC with Q stuns, get them snowballing then roam and help other lanes while the ADC is back at base.

It's doable, but requires a whole lot more communication than need be.

Isn't that exactly my point? He needs communication to work what makes him really bad don Solo Q where communication is really limited. He is a monster on teams since I have a few friends that main him and they can carry pretty effective but on Solo Q is better just to take another Poke support that can provide more reliable utility.

It depends with me honestly.

I seem to do better with Bard than I do with a ton of other supports, even in soloqueue.

I just don't like squishy supports on my team in solo queue. They tend to die more thus feeding more and being harder to carry.

It has nothing to do with the player or champion in that specific game, it's just the law of averages.

Idk mann, most of the time i see feeding its the tanky ones. I haven't even seen a Raka / Nami / Janna / Morg feed.

Bard is actually crap though - he can potentially be good but there are so many champs that are good no matter what that bard just sucks. He basically has 1 spell - and a conditional ult - this is crap.
