OMG I DON'T CARE

That's the response my jinx gave me. Who later in the game told me Bard is a terrible support.

It's 100% official. After having the games I've had with Bard i'm certain that it's not Bard that's bad at all. It's the Adc's that are way too use to being baby'd to the point they don't have to do anything but right click a minion/champion.

They don't want to be the ones who have to do something to heal. They want you to put the heal on them. If there's a skillshot coming they don't want to dodge it. They want you to take the hit. If you're at blue buff picking up a chime and they die at the enemies tower (bypassing all the health shrines you set for them) you are responsible for their death and not them.

We can now rest easy knowing Bard isn't an issue in this game. Whiney ADC mains that aren't breast fed everything is the issue.

I remember that the meta, at one point, had the adc solo mid and the apc with the support go bot lane.

Like, I get it. It's hard to 1v2. But supports are supposed to roam mid and late-game, not spend 100% of their time in bot lane babysitting. This was before Bard, and now Bard is highlighting this issue.

And if my support is Bard, I'm not going to pick Jinx for crying out loud! I'd pick Caitlyn, or (if I had them) Ezreal or Corki.

I had one bard that couldn't land any stuns, never engaged properly with his ult, didn't use the passage way once, didn't ward, and barely contributed to the team as a whole. The guy was clearly not a support main, but top and jg did well enough that it was an easy win. The guy then starts boasting about how great of a support he is. Obviously I called him out on that (hello, we're getting carried m8, you barely did anything), and you know what he says?

Referencing the one time I got 1v2'd bot lane (that I had not even mentioned): "You have to stand on the health circles moron. It's not my fault you're an idiot."

Like, really? That had nothing to do with how shit you are. Bard is actually a really good support, but like Thresh you need to utilize him properly. You don't just sit in the god damn bush when you play Thresh, and you don't just spend a third of the laning phase roaming when you play Bard.

You say that like you actually do anything.even in the champion spotlight that was the biggest picture on the home fucking page he says never leave your ADC without a good reason and bard is a garbage support he is the king of the troll champions he can hand an escaping ally to the enemy by giving them a portal to them he can freeze allies in bad places to get them killed,he has the worst excuse in the game to leave you 2v1 that EVERYONE is using. If you could support worth anything you wouldn't choose bard and use a champion that does something
