Bard, the wandering caretaker is a fantastic champion. I love his design, character, and gameplay. But there are a few issues with Bard. I'm fine with Bard's next to nothing AP scaling on his ONLY DAMAGING ABILITY, "clears throat" sorry. I'm fine with how long it takes for Bard to use his ultimate long distances, that's reasonable. BUT, I believe that the best way to make Bard a more worth champion is give him a little bit more utility. I talking about his Q and W. Cosmic Binding and Caretakers Shrine. I believe that if you changed Bard's Cosmic binding to have extra range upon hitting his first target WITH greater projectile speed. He can have his original projectile speed for the beginning bind, but after that it needs speed. It almost feels like a Morgana Binding with how horribly slow it is. Bard's Caretakers shrine needs some changes. Here's how i think it should be changed. Bard can have up to Three Shrines in a certain area, but a much larger amount of shrines overall like 8. This means Bard can have three shrines bot lane for his ADC, Two for his Mid and Top laner, and one for his jg. But he wont be allowed to put them all in one spot, for balancing reasons. Doing this will allow Bard to safely watch his entire team, hence the name "The Wandering Caretaker". It would greatly increase Bard if in the correct hands. I believe the Minimum distance for three shrines is the distance from Mid tower to the opposing Mid tower.

Thank you for reading my post. If you have any more changes to bard that wouldn't cancerous and/or Over Powered. Please do so in the comments. Have a good day [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

He doesn't need damage. He's a utility support in the first place. Also his Meeps proc + TLD proc + auto + Spellthief's gold is incredibly good in early.

As a Bard main, he's always struck me as extremely balanced, actually. His Q's lack of speed and range is frustrating, of course, but it's incredibly strong when it hits properly, so I'm pretty okay with it overall.

If anything, I'd love to see his Shrines have their base healing buffed a bit. We don't build much AP typically, so the shrines make for very low-level sustain at best.

The only thing I think he needs is an increased heal amount. The shrines are really helpful early, but fall off HARD.
