It'd be cool if Bard's heal scaled a little bit off his total chime count.

Like maybe 1 health per chime? So 100 chimes gives 100 health? The reason is because his heal seems to just get weaker as everyone gets more health. I was playing him on ARAM and put everything on w. It was good until everyone got a little health.

Can we also talk about how its a flat 10 seconds all game for the heal to increase in power? Sure that's a mechanic to balance his early, but at 30 minutes into a game, no one is going to wait 10 seconds anywhere on the map to get a heal.

healing on aram is halved on allies but yeah it is still underwhelming late

I'd actually vote Bard get a % HP aspect on his heal. Something like it heals 1% of targets max HP per 5 chimes, but only on the fully charged shrine so that you can't snap heal a shitload of HP on tanks

I'll be honest, as a hardcore bard main, I don't feel like he's suffering in the power department. His hard engage and poke are incredible, he's got great utility, and his ulti can seriously mess up teamfights. I'm worried about any buffs for him.

I'm also very happy with the state of Bard right now. I feel like where he's supposed to be, and if Riot changes him, he's either going to become extremely weak and unplayable or insanely OP to the point where he's gonna get nerfed to oblivion within a month.

I don't play Bard all that much, but I kind of disagree? Like, he's very well balanced, is quite strong and has a lot going for him, but with almost all of that in his Q, E, and R, it doesn't really feel like he has a W as much as a strong 3 ability kit. Then again, people who play Bard would probably be sad to see his damage go down to compensate, so nothing to be done I guess.

Although I do dislike his W's late game heal, I think of it more as a momentary MS boost, good for when my duo's (Who plays lots of Rengar, Jhin and Yasuo ADC) damage/repositioning.

No. That'd make him broken. He's already extremely underappreciated.

As a hardcore Bard enthusiast with over 950k mastery points, I actually feel pretty comfortable with Bards heal...Bard

Bard is a play maker and should never be on the defensive. Literally, _**all **_the Bard players I know will seldom, if ever, have the time to get all 3 heals fully prepped. It's just a waste of Bard.... If riot really wants to buff Bard again, then they could simply drop the mana cost from 70 to 60.

Bard is fine. I know this will piss people off, but it is true. Bard's W is used mainly for the movement speed anyways and the heals aren't bad if your build is dedicated enough. But regardless, Bard is a support that only his mains excel with. And, as awful as this sounds, it needs to stay that way. I really don't want him to be over buffed and super popular because he will almost certainly end up like Kalista or feel super un-enjoyable when he gets nerfed.

Id be fine with as much as 3 hp/chime as long as he gets some damage nerfs along with it, he does WAY too much damage atm while having lackluster support/utility spells.

the ability to disable a turret or epic monster almost at will(ultimate) or disrupt a group enemy team a stun which only requires an extra target or a wall and both targets take damage the ability to bypass any wall of any distance without burning mobility and the potential for lures?

he also gets to be a support that does not play like any other in the game

don't nerf his damage...it's the most fun part about him to bring in those unexpected nuke hits

it's usually not his heal but instead that people do not know to take the heals when they need them or they take them too early

it would be a decent buff, but I think I prefer his damage increase

I mean both? I don't think I'm asking too much because he has to leave lane to go and farm up some chimes. That puts his adc in danger.

I stated this because typically, if a character gets an increase in utility, their power takes a dive soon after, so, I would rather he keep his meep Nukes

Kinda hate it that when Brad&Rakan needs buffs RITO increases their AP scaling ( damage) instead of their utility.

Exactly. Bard has enough dmg with chimes. He just needs stronger healing and that's it.
