Bard is really going to become a semi-jg champ with the new runes
Face of the mountain/Smite is going to be the first few minutes of support until you smite dragon, then change your spell to what you need.

you do understand that requires a keystone and a little bit a cheese that gives up early game for a chance at drag isnt that good
We won't truly know how good it is until it is tried. I mean, if your adc is bad at last hits, you literally can smite it for relic shield's passive proc. A bit of cheese? Most likely you won't even be engaging that early anyways, by level 6 taking dragon is a main objective and your ult/smite has what it takes to steal dragon. If your adc can play safely or if you can aggro well, then smite might not be a bad pick. I pretty much know Bard from the inside out of his mechanics. I just can't wait to try and see how well it does. If it is bad, then I just won't try it no more lol.
The main thing is, we don't know how long it will be until the summoner's spells can be swapped out.
