Wouldn't it be awesome if Riot conspired with a whole bunch of other games companies to make Bard appearances in other games? Like Easter eggs and cameos and stuff like that. I can think of SO MANY crossovers that I think my inner nerd would be delighted to see. However the most efficient entertainment is the possibility of Bard photobombs.
Like say the main plot is happening in the foreground explosions and fighting etc... and then off in the background silhouetted Bard bounces in, grabs a chime and leaves. Or some horror game where in one section you see bard portal through some walls. Other gaming communities will be all like, "OMG what was THAT?"
too, since he's a traveling demon that preys on all.
