Bard Buff Idea
Bard is such a lovely champ, after playing for about three years, his release was the best thing to happen for me on LoL. But despite how much i love him, and despite the tons of plays I've made with him that gave us a victory, i still feel like he deserve a bit of love. His kit is lovely as it is, but some tweaking could be done to improve our caretaker's quality of life.
Chimes: It's a fun mini game to go around the map and collect chimes, but having them disappear after ten minutes can sometime create moments when you lose some and fall behind, since Bard needs them to scale into the game. If your team lacks control over the map it can be devastating. Maybe if they simply reappeared elsewhere. Also having chimes appearing in the enemy top jungle can be dangerous for Bard.
Meeps: They do offer a really nice amount of burst damage when you save a few, but in teamfights, after the initial poke, they reappear too slowly to have a real impact. They could use some kind of cooldown reducing effect. Meeps could reappear one second faster every time he auto-attacks an enemy champion. Or following Bard's theme, they could gather to Bard faster depending on the amount of enemy champions around him. (ex: Meeps reappear 12% faster for every visible enemy champions within 1000range, up to 60% faster).
Q: The targeting system could get some rework. When enemies are clumped together, the ability has some weird behavior and will often ignore a champion that's sitting too close to minions. Q and Bard's auto-attack range could also potentially be increased by 50, to match most adc's auto-attack range.
W: The healing is really nice early game, but they scale really poorly into the lategame. There could be a bonus hp% scaling into it, or maybe add a passive to Bard's ult that could increase the maximum build up potential of the shrines by allowing them to charge for 5/10/15 additional seconds, for additional healing proportional to the extra time it charged up. Or increasing the maximum limit of shrines.
E: Maybe allow to flash out or Zhonya while inside it?
R: As said on W, maybe add a passive that could strenghten his Shrines.
Thanks for reading, but also thanks Riot for adding this awesome champ! =D
