Very high skill cap charater I must say, unlike some supports he seem weaker than most at first. Don't get me wrong strong support if your good with him, when i say weak i mean his core stats. I can see why no one plays him in lane competitively. Just the idea of starting weaker than my enemy and giving them lane advantage is while someone amusing for me, not fair to my team in a competitive since. But, Leagues more casual than ever and leaning further each day, hell even master teir players like Huzzy are saying it on youtube. So yeah i played it in norms top. Fun def fun. Hard, by no means is a 1v1 with any champ easy as Bard early. The roughest 2 parts I found were tobe getting used to csing, as on top of low base damage, meeps cause the damage u deal to flux up and down. so theres no consistancy. Then theres chimes, you gotta leave lane to gettem, and by doing so leave farming and lose lane pressure. Granted I beat a quinn in lane, with bard. A feat unto its self, but honestly I blame the quinn, Idk how that could ever happen. everytime its 1 aa from me or her dying and well... Meeps won.

Playing this looking to have an easyier time out of it, I wondered about Meeps, what affects them and went to the wiki to read. Only found nothing saying it does or doesn't increase meep spawn time with cdr. I googled it, only to find 1 player asking the question and having 1 reply from a non credited sorce stating he doesn't think it does.

So can we get an offical end to this question? The actual Fact of yes or no, does 45% cdr Bard regen meeps faster than a 0 cdr bard?

what does he bring to a team that others dont do better?

the removal of the magic pen from runes and masteries combined with the keystone (i forget its name) hurt him hard as all he brought to lane was stupid damage as the rest of his kit is a gimmick.

edit go into practice and try it out

if i see bard picked support on the enemy team, at my elo, i just lock nautilus/leona and firstblood at a very high rate.

Bard is extremely squishy, yes he can land his q and do massive damage, but leona and nautilus both equal his damage with double the sustain, zero reason to pick this champion in lane other than liking him.

PLEASE MAKE BARD PLAYABLE
