Bard has some issues

Bard Since his release I have played about twenty-something games as him. He is beyond fun and his kit has potential. One major problem is with the fact that he is a lot worse then most of the supports throughout the entire game. His heal is pretty shitty, his stun is decent but next to no damage, and his e and ult are useless in lane and in most situations

Now I know he is a situational pick but I think I have a solution to the early game power drop

I think that his passive should spawn 2 chimes every 30 seconds (it is currently 2 chimes per 50 seconds with every few waves spawning 1 chime.)

It takes about 50 minutes to even reach a point where his charms are usefull for something besides poking. This would REALLY help out

Another massive issue is ap scaling considering he has 1 active damage ability, I would rather use Morgana with a huge dmg q then bard's chance at a stun. And also leaving lane to get chimes makes you lose a ton of XP so you should increase the amount gained by chimes

EDIT: alright so 33% win rate on him. But yeah with 2 chimes every 30 seconds, if he collected every single chime he would have about 80 at 20 minutes and 160 at 40. This is perfect in my oppinion allowing for max potential

It takes a 60 minute game with a 100% collection rate to max bards passive.

Bard needs to immediately add a chime to his chime count every time they spawn so that he isn't forced to wander around in the enemy jungle just to become relevant in teamfights.

And 2 every 30 seconds sounds reasonable to me, with each spawning wave increasing the radius around Bard that they can spawn so that early game he doesn't have to wander too far.

He needs

A range buff on his Q Increased base stats on his Q & W at later ranks.

His chimes aren't MEANT to be maxed. 1900 damage over 4 autos on a support isn't a thing.
