You wouldn't be saying that if

the bard knew how to play him
you and your team knew how to work with Bard
if you knew Bard's strengths

Out of 22 ranked games I had bard on my team, I've won 2 with one. So no, I do not wish to have or ever seen one on my team. That is plat to Diamond.

Sorry but Bard is probably one of the best supports if you have a team who is functioning together.

ZeeWolfZDec 26, 20151 votes

Do not be sorry! Hold your head up high to your opinion. I rather have a support who I can rely and trust on on Solo Queue climbs, than a Support who will cancel my team's ults with his unreliable ultimate.

That is why you need to time y'alls ults for right when his is over...that way you get a massive combo.

i can bet you dont use his portal or wait for the heal to charge

ZeeWolfZDec 26, 20152 votes

Don't use him at all. Why would I, when Sona can do his job better. When TARIC can do his job better and that is saying a Lot.

i'm a bard main and i can carry from mid and support.

If Bard isn't succesful is 90% his team's fault and not the player himself. If the team can't capitalize his skills they'll lose.

Congratz for exposing yourself.

Bard is not a solo Queue champion. I can see his potential in a 5 team with communication (skype, vent, curse). Otherwise, he is pretty useless vs Supports that can sustain and win lanes.

I've had my few matches as, against and with Bard. While he surely shines in a 5 men premade with all the tools you really just need to know what he does and when he can do something to help him set things up. It isn't something undoable in pugs but it requires some kind of baseline trust in your team and for you to also be of help.

dude lol, i used to think like you when he only came out, but he's an AMAZING support, if not the best one.

ZeeWolfZDec 26, 20152 votes

Far from the best. I rather have Galio support than Bard.

HongChongDongDec 26, 20151 votes

I used to think bard was a god awful champ when he first came out but after realizing his potential in the hands of a good player I can easily say bard is one of the best supports out there among squishy supports.

ZeeWolfZDec 26, 20151 votes

I still think he is god Awful watching him fail in the hands of Plats and Diamonds. There are just easier and far more reliable Sups than bard.

HongChongDongDec 26, 20151 votes

I will say from experience an experienced and VERY good bard is one of the scariest champions I've encounted in lol whether he's in the bot lane or the mid lane

BeldairDec 26, 20151 votes

I agree. A good Bard is something to fear. With those ridiculous q stuns and those amazing ult into team dying is why Bard can really turn a match into his team's favor.
