2/24 PBE Update #2: BARD

Just wanted to say that. I love it, so hyped for Bard

EDIT: His VO is also really relaxing, lol

That skin is amazing. I wish he could speak actual words instead of just instruments as his VO. He also makes me think of the Candlemaker from The Book of Life

I think the VO captures that mystical nature about him better, though it is a bit awkward being a 'Bard' (read: storyteller) and not speaking the common language

On the theme of his release skin, which seems rather... odd... but on the theme of "nature", I would've gone with Runeborn Bard. http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111011211740/leagueoflegends/images/8/82/Xerath_RunebornSkin.jpg Like this, but better realized.

I don't know that I'm seeing what you're seeing with that...how does Xerath's skin/theme translate to Bard?

Ironclad Dragon2 votes

I just mistakened Bard itself for a minor creature that would follow him. But no, that's him. "How does Xerath's skin/theme translate to Bard?" An ancient construct built from stones, long since overgrown with life and verdant moss. Flowing green energy crackles around its joints, flowing out of the runes it creates. His default face is a rune.

I wouldn't personally expect him to be glowing/energy-looking though

I wouldn't expect him to be primarily that. He'd just glow out of his "eyes" and stuff. Just enough to get the impression.

Yea, I think there's a lot of potential to explore cool skins with Bard in the future
