I have to admit: Bards Cinematic fits the Champion 100%

Raoul··94 votes·4,049 views

So, since I started to play Bard, I also stumbled over the old cinematic, and watching it gae me the same feeling everyone who has ever played in a team with or against bard support must have.

All the time its happening you have no freaking idea whats going on, in the end it somehow worked out but you have no Idea what Bard has done the whole time and if it helped or not... But you have to admit, it looked kinda cool xD

It's funny how bard walks in with slow pace while the citizens are getting slaughtered, then takes the relic, says f*ck you all and leaves. Just like he leaves his ADC for his beloved meeps.

Im gonna remember this next time I see you in game. You aren't getting any shrines.

I mean the shrine heal is absolutely pathetic, it makes Sona's W look strong by comparison. Honestly you're probably better off saving your mana and trying to get more Q's instead

Every point of health counts sometimes and I've seen a lot of people survive because of the MS boost

More Qs landed is less health for the enemy, though. Every point of health counts.

less likely to hit a skill shot than to walk over a stationary heal

You do realize that those shrines are like a fine wine. You have to let them breathe first before enjoying them.

I find them pretty weak even after they charge up, especially since Bard usually doesn't build much AP. However, its nice when a generous Bard drops 3 in his jungler's camps so they get an amazing first clear, but Bard sacrifices his lvl 1 harass by doing this.

Meeps help with the aa'ing

Although, I mean if you come across jungle mains like me, when a Bard does that the jungler IS his lvl 1 harass :3

In what universe does he not build ap?

If you're not building a ludens and a lich bane you're doing it wrong lololololol

Shrines are meant to be a pick me up, not a major heal like sona's or soraka's.

major heal like sona's

What

Beldair2 votes

It's true. Compared to Bard, Sona has a major heal.

libraryseraph 1 votes

I'll agree with you that her heal is better, but that speaks more for the low quality of the shrines than anything

Beldair1 votes

But like me and various others have said, Bard's shrines are more to top someone off or a quick save with a speed boost.

libraryseraph 1 votes

I agree I was mostly joking (as a Sona main myself) about her heal

Beldair2 votes

I've played Sona too. So i know the annoyance that is Sona.

Shrine heal is only good if you max it first and its only good for early game. It also grants movement speed so if you place them consecutively on the way to your turret it can help your adc escape and survive.

I feel like Bard would be the best champion to play with a chat restriction

It adds more flair to when he leaves the adc like "I must go, my people need me"

Bard's the personification of the "lol i'm high as fuck" players, but they're actually doing good.

I picked him up as my main as soon as he was released, and I have to say, that cinematic is amazing.

"Im just Bard doing Bard things. Don't question me. BWAHHHHHHHH"

Only Play Darius10 votes

The cinematic let me know what to expect from Bards. Oblivious to the slaughter of innocents, farming chimes somewhere else while his teammates are getting murdered.

(Joking btw I only hate Bard because he's one of those champions who's a feeder when he's on my team and a legend on the other)

That is either Lee Syndrome, the Shaco Effect, or Shrodinger's Rengar

Only Play Darius2 votes

Lee Syndrome is when someone follows up on abilities even if they put them in a bad position. Like with Yasuo and his R

Shrodinger's Rengar has to do with never facechecking a bush because Rengar is in every bush simultaneously, ready to jump out and kill you. Same with Garen

Shaco effect is what applies to certain champions (like Shaco) that are useless when they are picked on your team but ruin your day when they are on the enemy team. Applies to Vayne Nasus MasterYi Bard and many others

i hate Bard , his annoying e,his stupid q kiting, and ugh his meeps slow is utter bullshit. not to mention his q hits u at horse shit angles

Fuck Bard

BioticBrony5 votes

Also just saying, that annoying angle also works both ways since it is tricky to land sometimes. Also why are you trying to chase a bard anyways, you can't catch the gingerbard man.

A Liberal1 votes

Yeah I have to agree, if you are trying to chase a bard you're not right in the brain. I would probably say that he is the best kiter out of all of the supports, only contested by Janna, and only than just because of raw movespeed + knockup

insaiyanbacca1 votes

its like chasing singed without getting hurt very much, unless you go to deep tbh.

Can I get the link for the cinematic?

Yeah a celestial passivist makes so much sense in a game like this.

I mean bards playstyle fits him perfectly too: He is not concerned by the issues of mortals, only the greater cosmic cause
