Bard is my main support, so often in ranked I choose him and everyone says "no, bard sux" or "bard sup? afk".
Why is Bard hated so much? He has a decent skill set and good sustain. Is it just low elo or is he hated in every tier?
i use him in plat and no one cares lmao xD
Because he relies heavily on his teammates to act on his moves, which requires communication. There isn't a lot of communication in Solo Que, so since he's not performing optimally, people think he's flat-out bad.
People don't understand Bard. That's pretty much the only reason. You'll find people like that at every tier, however they do thin out a bit as you go up.
From what I can tell it's the same group of people who don't like supporting for Kallista, or having a Tahm on their team. They would rather have full control over their champion at all times instead of sharing a piece of it in favor of having a bit more utility in certain situations.
his skills are not bad but he wanders around leaving the adc solo in lane a lot. also his ults seem just as likely to hurt your team as help you. i have seen a bard ult land on 4 enemies just in time to save them from a ziggs bomb and a jinx rocket.
Because, at least at my elo, people don't know when to roam and leave the ADC dicked lol.
Because He's troll fuel.
