Is Bard Still Underpowered?
Haven't seen any complaints on the boards ever since the buffs they gave him. I've even seen a few bards win games lately. Is he solo queue viable now or is he still lacking compared to other supports?

bard is the worst champion that riot created. It's not fun to play, at all.
99% of gold+ players could have created a better and funnier kit.
He still sucks people just forgot about him.
His kit just sucks.
Stun is stupid hard to land, any other stun works better.
Heal is nothing after like 3 min.
Tunnel doesnt really help anyone except premade teams, on occasion.
Ult is meh at best.
His roaming for chimes sucks completely till way late game, just hurts him and lane all game.
What people are saying, I just lost interest in him and he will be that champ that should never of came out.
I'm 9W 4L with him right now. He is the most fun champ to play in a very long time, in my opinion. I have been able to pull out some amazing wins, despite my team preforming sub par.
His heals are amazing, if the ADC knows how to use them correctly. His Q's are quite nice if placed correctly. The W is prolly the most situational spell in his Kit, but I have been able to create some amazing plays with it, and have only had a few situations where it worked out bad for my team. The range on his Ult can set up some amazing ganks, escapes, or chase downs.
No, hes still pretty crap, his win rate of 46% is just ahead of Tristana's 45%, one of the worst ADCs in the game, and most people just gave up trying to play him. There were some buffs on the PBE, but they got reverted.
If you do put in say, ~100 games of practice in, you can maybe hit a 50% win rate, while if you play Sona, your first five games, you have a 53% change of winning.
Another Yorick joined League :D
Too many double edged tools and too much reliance on WHOLE team capitalizing your plays to be an effective character.
The proof that LoL can't have pure support characters.
Bard is so crap that I lost 5 games out of the last 13 that I played with him.
Seriously. 3 games out of 12! Can you believe it?? It's like 60% or something. This champion is so crap I can't adc with him AND I PLAY with 239 ping on solo queue with a toaster. (It's not really a toaster, I use it to heat pizzas.)
If only there was a champion that could heal 1/3 of your life after you place his packs and wait 10s. If only we had a champion that could reliably heal the jungler to full health before the 3 min mark without moving out of lane. I'm telling you, Riot is trolling us. I mean, how dare they give us a champion that is hard to play? If only we had a support that could recover 24% of his mana just by collecting 2 chimes.
Riot should have buffed him and let him earn 30g with frostfang and meeps when he hits the enemy champion. It's not as if Bard can stun 2 people every 7s right? And team fights. Don't get me started on teamfights. Bard does nothing in teamfights. With 50 chimes his AA does only 175 dmg and slows the whole enemy team for 45% for THREE TIMES!!! Wait, wait, i mean... 3 TIMES ONLY!?!?! How am i supposed to get kills with this? At least Lux has a 36% slow with her maxed E. Why did you do this Riot? It's as if a bunch of very talented players are banking on the fact that everyone underestimates Bard to lose only 40% of their games. I mean, I have never seen these guys but they look really handsome.
Seriously Riot. Why did you nerf the range on his Q?
