After Playing Several game with Bard

I`ve notice that early game you are pretty much very useless vs strong engage support, all he does is having shrines for adc and a very slow Lux Q and if it miss it becomes a Braum Q, he does well vs poke support and adc.

His damage ratio is completely Terrible on pretty much 1 damage skill and basic attacks, some adc complain about bard roaming too much, when Bard roam and get Chimes his damage and utility scale faster than if he is at his adc sides all the time. When bard becomes super effective is when he gets enough chimes to get 3 meep following him. His ult is nice but you need good judgement from both you and your team. I use his ult early to catch them off guard or to when we want to siege a tower and kill them under it. Since the delay on it is absolutly Terrible you have to time it everytime. You need good coordination and communicate whenever you want to ulti because if you don`t do that you can lead the enemie team to Victory.

Here is my most hated skill not because of his concept but of its mechanics. E the Portal His E is terrible for me, Slow moving inside of it and not only that, YOU CAN DIE INSIDE OF IT AND CAN BE KILLED INSIDE A PORTAL BY POINT AND CLICK IGNITE, IDK how many time I died to someone igniting me inside of it.

Another Problem with Bard, his Passive Chimes, there was a match when chimes would completly Spawn the opposite of the map which you will never set foot early game. This is irritating because thats what help Bard scale well into the late game.

His teamfight potential when he has around 65 chimes is wonderful because of how useful his utility becomes, his basic attack meeps start doing some seriously good amount of damage which is what he needs.

In conclusion:

Bard is not a Terrible champion, he requires alot of judgement from both his team and himself aswell as alot of map awareness. Bard shines well with an ADC that knows how to lane early game most of the time. He does poorly against hard engage support such as because it all depends on your ADC mechanics.

Exemple of match I did:

I had a very good Graves that knew how to freeze the lane under tower and let me roam most of the time, he dodged most of the skillshot but when he gets hit he just takes my shrines. He was wonderful in teamfight and synergize very well with Bard.

I had another game with an Ashe running ghost and Flash who didn`t care if she was 5cs lower than the other adc, she knew how to land those ashe arrows and helped her get some assist from being at tower. Since ashe passive gived gold to her she was able to get IE pretty early on. She was laning vs blitz and Graves but She DODGED EVERYTHING, I was soo impressed that I friended her.

Bard Support should dertermine if your ADC can lane alone or not if they do lucky you if not well then you are not going to have a fun game.

Bard Require some tweak and some damage buff aswell as a Chimes should spawn near your location and a rework on E.
