Exrow8 votesAm i the only one thinking how badly bard might get nerfed?
RyShep3 votesI think any talk of buffs/nerfs for him may have to wait for people to get used to using him and playing against him. I'd also like to tack onto that "playing with him" as my first game with him, I had a Varus laning with me that seemed to have an aversion to stepping onto my healing shrines, no matter how low his health got.
3mry8 votesAn idea for a skin but " the bardy hardy" skin. I thought of it when looking at all of the bard puns and I thought that it sounded like party. What I invision it to be like is parallel to the theme of the fiddlesticks birthday skin where it has pastel color contrasts and party do dads making up the skin. Another thought is that seeing bard, or rather hearing his character on the rift, he would really have a great sound spectrum because of the face that he doesn't have a verbal voice. Below I will put some ideas but this is just a fun idea I had for him because honestly being a marksman carry I would love to have a party animal like bard with me in the bot lane
Costume- when I see bard I imagine him with a lots of pastel pinks and greens with a trim of yellow, when it comes to the do dads I think it would look cool if he had a cone party hat and a kazoo as his horn, when he's moving at normal speed I think little glitter animations would give it some color and when he collects one of his chimes he gains the movement speed and streamers could trail behind him.
Recall- I can see him getting a cake out of his cloak and throwing up a party banner and when it gets to the back time he could do a silent countdown as if he's about to surprise someone at a surprise party.
Abilities- his passive could be that the chimes are birthday present scattered around the map, the meeps could be little ballons; the only problem I have with ballons is that they aren't definite spirits and I think that kinda takes away from the champion, again open to suggestions. The Q could be bard throwing a handful of streamers. The W could be bardy placing down a birthday cake and the when the health pack is full charge a little candle could light up on top of the cake. The E could be like the entrance to a party with maybe happy b day riot over the top and other decorations. The R ultimate I think would be hilarious if bard threw a massive cake and everyone would be trapped in frosting for the duration.
Finishing notes- I am very open to suggestions and I would love to see this idea develop through the community. My closing thought is that riot could release this skin on their anniversary so it's actually like a present that is found for their special day. Please throw in suggestions and see you all on the rift

Titanius3 votesBard is a Pirate. He has peg-legs.
I Love Smoking3 votesIs it just me or does Elderwood Bard look like something out of Teldrassil in World of Warcraft? O: Either way, I love it.
How Do You Meta3 votesI read this as "Braum is here!" in Braum's voice. 
Jabronicus2 voteshas a skin that isn't the classic for a new champ ever been this expenxive? just wondering.
Siachi3 votesOccasionally, if the release skin comes with a lot of spell effects, or it's a more complicated model for a champion.
I know Kha'zix, Vel'koz, and I think Rek'sai each had 1350 RP Release skins, though thankfully the bundle prices seem to remain the same (1462 RP) despite the cost.
Sniff this unit2 votesam i missing something?...the bundle is 1462 rp...and the skin alone is 975 rp??
Jabronicus4 votesnevermind, i'm a retard
RedTao1 votesYou sure you don't mean you're a reBard?
Akuma Rose2 votesLooking at Bard, he seem to lean heavily towards serving as tanky utility instead of burst, as well as requiring a lot of communication with his team, the ADC above all. He actually seems like he would pair up with Kalista in lane quite well due to her being so heavily based around communicating with your team and support when you ult them in or out of fights.
Chris xD2 votesSeeking in Hide and Seek'll be Bard with his Magical Journey :D
I'M SO SORRY FOR THE PUN T.T

Asian DOGE2 votesOk Riot I am very disappointed in you. I buy this champion Bard only to realize he has been removed temporarily from the game and I can't play him. If you are going to remove him from the game you need to also remove him from the store. Thanks Please fix this.
