I strongly disagree that off meta is weak or supports lack influance.

If we are going to be throwing Anecdotal evidence around all the time then I can contribute. Here is mine.

Fun facts.

ZZrot gives vision and wont count vs your wards. If you have to compensate for teamamtes who don't know visions a good thing. Its also terrain so you can stun people off it with Q. Always entertaining to see some one get surprised by that and rage in all.

Botrk is one of the most cost effective AD items, the AS is almost enough to enable bard to overlap slows. Plus the active is nice for a maxed item cdr build. You never see a trigger of passive with out a accompanying auto and I don't understand why people are confused on this. + lifesteal is not all that much waste, a little extra sustains is never bad in tanky builds imo.

Free to snag anything you want after that. Need to be support? Plenty of good options. I favor Wanna cheese teamfights? just make shure your running to get that CDR for Q. Adds a deceptive amount of cd to W or Q. Plus more damage. Just don't wiff your R, you will regret that and your teammates will hate you for it.

Just a heads up. Honestly I do not recommend this build for most players. Like if your not a bard main you should probably avoid it because even if you do well your gonna get quite a few reports, if your learning bard stick to something more normal so you don't get a ban before your mechanics are in place to attempt this cheesy good time.

I am not even close to being a great bard player >< like I make 9+ stupid mistakes a game.
