Bard Change.

Bard is at a pretty reasonable state at this point it time. As someone who mains bard and plays him nearly every game I have a request on a change that I wish we could see. The problem is that bards ult does damage. Now I'm sure most people that don't play bard think I'm crazy because it doesn't have any damage numbers. However, Riot has programmed this ability to deal 1 damage to insure that hitting someone with it will give you an assist.

The problem with that is that this puts you in combat. Which means you lose all movement speed that you get while out of combat. The problem with this is then you have to sluggishly try to get into a position to line up your stun which becomes very difficult. Normally you end up having to flash to get into position to hit your stun and I think that's a problem.

TLDR; I don't care about the assists remove the one damage from bard ult. I'd rather win games than have a nicer score at the end.

Affecting an enemy, even from 1/3 of the map away, counts as entering combat with them. Even if you don't do any (meaningful) damage, if you do something to them, you're no longer "out of combat". I'm sorry, but that really is "working as intended".

This is the only change I want for him:

Other than that, even prior all the unneeded buffs he received, he's just in a perfect state imo. (disregarding the fact that Mana Potions "nerfed" a lot of support including Bard atm)
