How to make Bard Somewhat Balanced

Champion.gg - Bard Support Stats, Builds, Runes, Masteries and Counters

This guy has a 32 winrate according to op.gg, so here's an idea of how to fix it.

First change you need to make is that his base armor is stupid low for his type of champion. Increase it from 21 to 30 to match his magic resist.

~~Next, here comes the kicker. Instead of his ult making allies invulnerable, it will cleanse them of any debuffs and give them a 25% movement speed and stun enemies for 1.25 seconds.~~

What do you think?

Max:2"

EDIT #2: Me! **Ult will now have a shorter delay time and make allies invulnerable for 60% of the time enemies are made invulnerable. All previous changes listed above have been nullified. **

He's been out for a day. Give people time to learn how to play him/how to play against him.

The armor buff is good, the ult change is not.

Base stats will go a long way in helping Bard. Other than that, it's literally just a learn-to-play issue, where you find a lot of players going "omg bards so kewl look at that anime!!" who have never seriously supported before and proceed to run around the map collecting chimes without understanding how to impact the game as a low income support.

eh, his thing is about statis. Including towers, and jungle monsters. I like that he's different.

He should be a bit more tanky. Even loading him with all defensive runes, and 30 defense points, he still feels only as tanky as maybe soraka when I go 9/0/21!

He's balanced. He hasn't even been out for a fuckin' week, that's why his winrate is low.
