Bard deserves a better skin than Bard Bard!

Bard Bard is cool and all. Decent skin concept, but I've seen so many other ideas here on the boards that would have been amazing skins. For example, the Pirate Bard skin somebody posted about with sketches and everything was fantastic. I have read other posts such as Bardtender where his health shrines would turn into various mixed drinks, bottles, canned drinks, etc; and during recall he would be behind a bar mixing drinks like he was in the movie Cocktail. I loved both of these skin ideas and the best part is they would take more effort than just a re-skin. Please give this amazingly designed champion an amazingly designed skin. loves you for it

Bard Bard is fucking amazing what u on about.

I see it as just a re-skin. it looks funny and it's well detailed. I get the whole Bard Bard joke. I just think the mentioned ideas for Bard skins were better. I've even thought of a Tennis Player/Ping-Pong player skin because of how he auto attacks swinging his "horn"? back and forth.

Bard Bard is something people asked for like when he came up. Plus it matches the theme of the other RPG style skins

A lot of champions deserve better skins than they get. Bard Bard is a nice concept and I actually like it.

Riot needs to give Cass and Zyra a decent skin and stop making skins for Jinx, Ekko, and Lulu every season.

I agree that Cassiopeia needs a new skin. I don't consider any of her skins worth buying. Zyra has a couple okay skins. I never said i didn't like Bard Bard, i just know for a fact i've seen better skins recommended/presented here on the boards. yes they would take more effort but i would imagine it's worth the creation. i'm biased because i love Bard and think he is the best champion in the game

I know. I thought we would be getting Trick or Treat Bard. Instead we got . . .. yeah.

it's 750 for the skin so yeah it's not going to offer much outside of a re-skin. they literally only changed his chimes to notes. everything else looks exactly the same and sounds exactly the same. i want a skin that changes the way he sounds and changes the way his interactions in game look. Bardtender, Pirate Bard, Pumpkin Bard, etc would all do that.

Honestly the possibility with the Meeps and chimes is endless

Titanic Bard : You are the Titanic, your horn is the big steam pillar things, and you pick up little survivors. Meeps are little lifeboats

Trick-or-Treat Bard : you a pumpkin. Broom horn. Pick up candy. Ghost Meeps

AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE

Golfer Bard:

Bard now has a polo shirt and khakis
Carries around a golf club
Ultimate spawns a hole w/ flag in in indicating where it's going to go, he hits a ball in to get a hole in one.
Picks up golf balls
Instead of Meeps following him he gets little Caddys
His taunt shows him swinging his club, then polite claps in the background

i agree, i hate the skin because Bard is supposed to be this mystical being who know one knows anything about, i liked the elderwood skin because it added the his mystic look

snow down showdown bard was great because it kept a lot of things that make bard, bard

this new skin seems more like a meme skin which i hate seeing on bard being, again, the mystical intriguing being he is, i'd much rather see another skin be put out for him that wasn't a meme
