Bard can't do much in team fights

So I have been playing Bard for awhile now and so far im doing ok during the early to mid phases. In team fight situations after Bard has used his ult all he has is his Q which if you miss leaves you just running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Yes his Q requires skill shots but half the time with all the movement and people hitting you from afar its hard to land! Also I feel like once I reach late game my heals become useless. In team fights all they really do is give a little speed boots because the healing doesn't count for much. Unlike other supports who can offer more in team fights likeNami Morgana Braum Sona bard seems to be lacking. He also needs some kind of armor or something because once someone targets you its 100% K.O. in most situations even if you try to escape. I really do like Bard and enjoy playing him but I just feel some changes need to be made. Maybe give his Q some range or change the stun, or something . I love ya Bard

He's a high skill cap support. First off, you need to have enough map control to open a magical journey to catch the enemy off guard. Second, once the teamfight begins, you need to put the ult on the second group of enemies advancing to join the fight. That gives u a 5v3. If you can't land a Q in a teamfight, practice in bots till you can or just don't play him. But practice makes perfect.

Bard's healing isn't too awesome to start off but once maxed it can heal for a good amount, especially when it can charge up. And speed boosts are very useful. I've saved several people this way. Also try building him more like a tank. I usually do and it makes him a little more sustainable. His meeps help a lot too.

Bard is made for one and only thing: dragon control. So if you have a fail jungler he becomes viable with his mass and sudden invade of pit over wall.

There is also a matter of champion experience; Lyssandra when she first came out was a feeding failure but now she is high tier.
