He needs a full kit rework I see no potential anywheres for this support/ Mage he has 1 damage/ somewhat viable crowd control ability. His ult is horrible can place teammates in a really bad position if placed wrong, and the fact anyone can go through his portal makes the portal completely useless.. Plz fix
L33K Senpai1 votesI understand Bard isn't necessarily in the best place but his kit is actually pretty unique and interesting in itself. If they want to buff him they can simply restrict the amount of enemies who can travel through his "E" - giving enemies the "caution" instead of "chase bard because everyone can go through there". But with that respect I think Bard just needs a few improvements with his skills - like I said; he isn't in the best place but he isn't necessarily horrible.
S H A Y C 03 votesif anything it should give enemies a movement speed debuff upon exiting the tunnel. or a short burst of movement speed that rapidly decays upon friendly exit.
Aeron Em1 votesI like this idea. +1 to you sir.
S H A Y C 01 votesthanks man :)
Aeron Em1 votesHonestly OP, I thought the same thing when I tried him during free week.
Then I saw Aphromoo play him and it's clear that in the hands of a great player (most of us aren't half as good as we think we are, myself included) he can work.
As far as his portal goes it is stupid to follow him cause you know that the other side exits at a wall. You come out and he's going to insta stun you with his q.
--Edit-- His ult is useless you say? Let me just nullify this turret for a few seconds as we dive and kill their adc and support. Yeah it works on turrets!
S H A Y C 01 votesits really hard to just hit the turret though, but you are correct. It has massive utility that can reward practice and skilled gameplay.
S H A Y C 01 votesoh my...you have no idea how to play bard.
portal: god bless this thing!!! the portal bates and out play potential here is rediculous. you are doing it wrong, i guarantee it.
one damage spell...yeah but its a good one.
health pods OP nuff said
ult..again, youre doing it wrong.
i only played a couple games when he was free and loved it. in two games my average was 4-7-29 as a support 58% kill participation and i had a blast. hes fine, your problem is pilot error.
qetzel1 votesYou really can't see the potential? Alright then. Let's see. He has great scaling on his Auto attacks (they do some damage late game!) and they also slow! BArd is great at chasing fleeing enemies and also fairly good at peeling against the current tanks. Did I mention how good his AA animation is. It makes trading in lane beautiful. He has a fairly low cooldown stun. The ability to stun two people ever few seconds is amazing. His W is probably better for the in combat speed boost... But what an in combat speed boost. Alright... so this one isn't great, but it still has potential. It can give your jungler an extra camp, which can be important early game and save an ally from a gank (50% MS!). How does it do as a ward? I can't remember for some reason. His portal is awesome - ROTATIONS. Brilliant for chasing (you can cut off an exit path) and you can do fairly good baits. It is also a near guaranteed stun on a chasing enemy when you get good with him. And his ultimate. Yes, you can fuck up big time, but you can also set up amazing plays. You can put it in a fleeing enemies path to cut off their escape at the end of a fight, you can lock half the enemy team in place, giving you two small, easy teamfights rather than one big one. You can lock both Nexus towers or an inhibitor tower for diving, You can buy time for your team to reach Dragon or Baron so that you can contest it.
Bard is a mass of potential - I just don't think many people have mastered him yet.
No-one ever will at my ELO, I think...
