as it gets. 
body else agree?
TheSkyrimaster3 votessigh, name-puns again 
Zatazam Shaztara6 voteshow many healing shrine things can he place?
SignError10 votesAccording to what is on the PBE, Bard can only have 3 shrines up at one time. Here's a link to his Wikia page which contains some early stats:
http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Bard
I wish this number were increased so that he can have multiple shrines in each lane or throughout the jungle. But I can see the potential problem with this. Placing 5+ shrines under the bot lane turret would be enough to completely fill the adc's health even it is when very low. Maybe there should only be a limit to the number of shrines within a certain range of each other. Or a decrease in consecutive heals within a certain time (similar to summoner spell heal 
).
DabYeet LitFam6 votesI agree that your idea of the decrease on consecutive heals is a nice idea. Hope this gets real!
Fapinator2 votesThey could allow infinite but they must be a certain distance from each other.
Kilam8583 votesOn the PBE right now you can have infinite shrines up. The only way they go away is if an enemy steps on them or an ally takes it.
SignError2 votesThat's great. It at least means the Bard developers are looking into not having a limit and other ways to prevent taking advantage of having multiple shines in one area. Or they are just allowing that to be a valid strategy. I would still prefer the equal distribution of shrines among the lanes, though.
E GIRL SCRIPTER2 votesI'm pretty sure they made him have 3 shrines because his symbol has 3 stars :^)
Firestar3476 votesWhen is URF coming back?
Cat Secretary2 votesWhy do people always ask riot this whenever there's a q/a? Give riot time, they have a whole new champ on their hands. What I can say to bring your hopes up is that a URF related icon was added to he PBE :)
Funzy3 votesPLEASE MAKE AN URF SKIN FOR TOP LANE AND SUPPORT CHAMPS I wanna see Corki, Warwick, Fizz and two others all repping Urf in their skins
mike L 8526 votesNvm...I can't stop imaging him as a bowling ball. The face is just so fuuny
hartar5 votesWas Bard inspired by the Movie Princess Mononoke?
Thorusoma3 votesYeah it reminds me of it I wonder this too. Also reminds me of spirited away.
Thorusoma5 votesWould bard be both jungle and supp roles or just one?
Witty Phantom5 votesHis clear is terrible, so Bard jungle doesn't have a chance at being a thing. In fact, I believe they made him to be a roaming support who wouldn't be able to make any weird transitions to jungle like Alistar did.
RhysThePeaceful2 votesRiver Shen. 
Dusty the Man2 votesI tired it in the pbe... ITS SO HARD TO JUNGLE
HungerGames54 votesNOOB CHAMP IS NOOB. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY RITO BRINGS NEW CHAMP WEN THEY CANT BRING BACK URF. LIEK OMG
BlongTreyLo7 votes
Chill with these URF mode comments already They're bringing it back in about 1-2 months so don't be so impatient . Just like any other Game Mode, it takes a year before they bring back those modes again to play.... Every champ has their own Potential plays, don't judge a champ by it's ability :3
TheSkyrimaster2 votesthen we find out it was an april fools joke... Q.Q
HungerGames55 votesY'all know I'm kidding, right? I'm beyond excited!
Kroatoan4 votesWhere will the link be? I always miss these!!!
reinbo1354 votesWould Bard's ultimate work if he uses it on Mordekaiser's ult clone, Shaco's ult clone, Yorick's clone or anything else like that? If he uses it on Anivia's egg, would the time counter for when the egg is supposed to revive still count time, or would the counter just stop temporarily in stasis?
TLD Greed4 votesso where did the inspiration for this champion come from?
Ltank1293 votesWith Bard's theme being a great protector, does this conflict with the same theme for Ao Shin?
Was there ever any synergy planned for his q and his e (if you q a person to a tunnel you could force them through it, or something similar)?
I have seen a lot of people try bard in the jungle, either as a primary or a support for the jungler. What are your opinions of this? Do you think he is viable as a jungler in current meta?
Considering only three of his abilities scale (His Passive, Q and W scale off AP while his other abilities are entirely utility) do you think he is going to be difficult to balance after release? Especially considering those abilities that don't scale are relatively neutral on their targeting?
What were some other ideas you had for his kit?
TheEmptyOne13 votesIs Bard able to freeze the Nexus with his ult?
Dusty the Man1 votesYea, I tried on PBE and it does freeze the Nexus
SubZero V2 votesIf only 
worked on Nexus
Blind Saitama3 votesSo... The release date is 3/6?
MungoGeri3 votesI've played about a dozen games with Bard on the PBE, and I love the wandering mechanics with the chimes and E tunneling. However, Bard seems to have a real weakness with his ability to support a team. Is he supposed to be a cc/protection/disengage support that protects his carry? Janna, Nami, and Lulu easily beat him in that role. Is he supposed to be a fierce damage dealer, becoming a monster late in the game once he builds up his chime collection? Zyra and Morgana dominate him in that regard in both cc and burst damage. (And I'm saying this is true even after I've collected 100+ chimes with Bard and have fully maxed out his items). Is he supposed to be some kind of bruiser-like character who can both take a hit and dish out some damage? He doesn't have the natural tankiness to fulfill this role, and Blitzcrank and Thresh easily dominates him in this area.
Are there any plans for reworking some of Bard's abilities in order to more clearly define his support role? Right now, in an all-in situation or in a moment where an assassin jumps one's adc, Bard only has one and a half abilities. Q, which might or might not stun, and W, which works at half strength if not given the time to charge up.
Csanityy3 votesQ&A Q:will you be allowed to have skarner pull someone through the wall? with bards E? A:?
Diran8252 votesSo question when is he coming out???
LeftButtCh33k2 votesWhen is he coming out really? I want to know, I need to know
tjsharkey2 votesDoes anyone know the release date for bard?
BarbeqdBrwniez2 votesAll I want is a very in depth description of how the chimes spawn. Rate, max on map at a time, are they limited in distance from Bard, is there any way to influence their spawn, can you get screwed by bad RNG and have them all be in the enemy jungle? Things like that.
Xynk2 votesWhat was the idea behind the bard ulti? Just an appeal to his star-struck protective nature deal?
Andromania2 votesIs Bard considered neutral in his alliances? I remember from the video that he seemed primarily interested in keeping the artifact away from the militant force and kind of ignored the death and destruction around him. It would be a nice change of pace to see another champion not oriented so heavily grounded on the good vs. evil spectrum
