Can we buff Bard more?

He has a really low winrate (43% according to lolking) still. I don't think it's ever been above 49%.

Maybe lower the mana cost on his W, make it scale off health and AP (maybe) or just other buffs

Thing is, the problem isn't the champion, it's the player.

It's a clichê line, I know, but it's true in this case. Bard has a RIDICULOUSLY HIGH skill floor. He has a lot of unique strengths that no other champion has, but in order to use them to the fullest extent, not only you need to practice a lot, but your team must be well-coordinated as well.

Bard does not need buffs. The second Bard gets overbuffed, he'll run circles around competitive and be pick or ban every game. He provides about as much utility as Thresh (if not more); his utility is just much harder to use, and thus, ineffective in uncoordinated play. Nothing will change that. As a result, at balance, Bard's solo queue winrate -will- be bad. 43% bad. And I'm fine with that in exchange for Bard being able to be a cool champion in competitive.

I would honestly buff his heal and that's it. The rest of his kit is actually really good. Good bards can exploit bad positioning so hard it's not even funny.

bard win rate is effected by people like me who play him to decrease our elo into bronze. he is insanely fun to play and troll on also if you build full ap an the adc is near a wall you will 1 shot him XD.
