do you want to hear my theory on Bard and his low win rate?

1. random meep collecting, i don't think i saw a Bard NOT randomly leave lane to go pick them up. this means the ADC not only gets annoyed and loses out on gold, Bard loses out on xp. you also throw any lead you had because Bard is feeling himself. next any asking or telling someone to do anything in league is seen as offensive.
2. isn't a ham melee support, leona 55% or something win rate, blitz 56% win rate, " ooh but skillshots mister" yeah but who's honestly going to punish a melee support long enough for that to matter, upon 1st back if they aren't far behind they've basically won the game.
3. his build path is a mess, i've seen people going full tank, full AP, tear, full retard. CDR and AP alongside required support items, why you aren't doing that i don't know.
4. Gnar, Azir, Yasuo all deemed bad on release with low win rates due to not knowing build, numerous bugs, being harder to play than other new releases, all get buffed all become broken then get nerfed. 4.1) when a new champion comes out it takes time for people to get good at it, so in turn to be good at stopping it will take a longer time. but that's not how riot works everyone calls for nerfs and they come.
