Womp.
But in all seriousness, even though Bard himself is an enigma, I just can't help but be attracted to him. From the day he was released (even though he's in a better state now), he was an extreme underdog that was rarely played, shunned when he was played, and for many, ended up killing his own team instead of saving them. He never had strong damage or great heals, and was known to always leave his lane partner to die.
So, I started playing him. (Mind you, I started playing him like 2 days after he was released, but the hatred for him was clear even then...) And, after a while of practice, I got really good at him, actually. Instead of like most Bards around that time (and even now), I started his heal instead of his Q. Before minions spawned, I would always go to top, mid, and the jungler, and leave a health pack for each of them. (Usually after my ADC yells at me asking where I'm going). I always built him tank instead of AP because he's rather short range in his playstyle, and relic shield works wonderfully as a supplementary heal for him.
Most of all, though, Bard has taught me, and even forces me, to remain calm. No matter how much I'm frustrated with my team making bad decisions or raging at each other, I almost always make sure in my Bard games to never talk except for "womp." Womp is not praise. Womp is not an insult. Womp is womp. And that is always how Bard replies to anything. Forcing myself to remain silent (or near silent with only Womp) keeps my stress levels far down by avoiding arguments and letting me think clearly, even making me have more fun in game by simply acting in Bard's character, rather than my own. Not to mention that it's often unexpected when Bard pulls off something impressive to catch someone or save your teammate.
I do hope you are able to get your crush, eventually. We root for Rumble and we root for you too!
