he got buffed cuz during late game he was essentially ignorable unless you were standing right next to him like an idiot

because herp derp must buff the fuck out of the new champion so he eventually gets played by the pros and we can say hurray successful champion!

evidence A: Bard

Bard was REALLY weak on release, they had to buff him.

Bard was buffed every patch after his release until he finally got picked up competitively, rather than just wait and let people learn him first (like what was done to Nami). It's pretty much what they did after they reworked Karma, they buffed the living hell out of her until she finally got picked up by the pros.

When you release a new champion, especially one with particular mechanics, you shouldn't buff them right off the bat. Remember Yasuo's abysmal win ratio on release? He was broken as hell when people finally figured him out.

I think you have it backwards. Those champs weren't played by the pros UNTIL they had been buffed enough to be viable. Bard is VERY balanced right now, one of the best in the game.

I have no problem with his damage buff, this makes him viable top. They really need to nerf his devour ability CD though. The CD needs to be doubled when he uses it on an ally. It's pretty much impossible to win lane bot when TK is the support, the ADC never dies unless they make a major mistake.

no not really since he lacks a lot of range besides his q poke champions will eat him alive people like vayne will destroy him and sivir makes her team much more mobile so they can out run him

LuggJul 26, 20151 votes

That is the same for ANY melee champion. Ranged champs eat them alive if they can't get in range.

CasterGilgameshJul 26, 20151 votes

that is correct and since he is a support i dont see the problem also if he was played top he would still lose to champions like darius irelia and maybe mao

nice thing is that you can add 32% of his maxhealth to that, as he will get atleast 4 procs of his ult-passive for that(3hits for the passive stacks+W)
