Praise to the creators of Bard (Bard)

Hey there,

I've already reached out to the support if they can forward praise to the right people, but they can't and suggested me to post it on the boards, and this one is apparently the right one. I am sure nobody is really reading this of these people who should, but whatever, I gotta say it now:

Thank you so much for Bard Bard, the most beautiful skin for my taste and it made me learn the probably most interesting, calming, funny and impressive champion. Indeed, I saw that skin in like December 2016 and then tested Bard later on.

Not only is Bard himself awesome: I got skillshot stuns, or slows, I got meeps to collect, I can heal - instantly or delayed, I can create tunnels for engages or escapes, and put the friggin Baron in stasis. I am the ultimative c*ckblocker, I had people raging at me in all chat for a heal that saved my Garen who would have died from the last ignite tick, I ultied my guys in a Karthus ulti etc and all that funky stuff. Meanwhile, he is not so annoyingly cocky as 99% of the rooster, he plays relaxing sounds and remembers me more to Windows95 booting up than a "hurr durr I haz big gunz" idiocy. Collecting chimes is like a mini game (and the speedboost saved my life so often, yesterday I was floating down the river faster than the Yasuo that went from mid to bottom on the parallel line behind the dragon pit, where the blast cone is located at) to blow him a stunning Q in his face to save my guys!) and there is this beautiful humble "Big Daddy" feel to him.

And then Bard Bard. This beautiful Venecian theme with the half-mask (I had to check my RONDO VENEZIANO CD cover to reassure myself), the beautiful Jabots, the tricorn with the feather on it, the noble, brown leather gloves and leather boots. The vibrant colored shirt and the golden horn (?). Since I am totally into that stuff, I fell in love with both the character and the skin himself.

I was awkwardly toxic in the previous accounts, took a 4 months break and still have problem here and there, but it got soo much better, receiving honours pretty often. I own this skin on 4 accounts... But this one is the real thing. Created an Excel sheet to track my stats over the winrate. The latter made me mad so often, but now I just try to enjoy the game itself and being Bard Bard.

So, finally, after all that time, I have a reminder right above my PC screen in:

I know the images are very grainy, but I had to close the window blinds and turn off the flash light, else the screen and pictures would reflect too much.

I ordered a solid composite board thingy from my photo store and put the FullHD artwork on it (the loading screen one, as well as the website and the client artwork is blurred for no reason with wrong colours (blue tint), there is a 4K artwork available with Jayce and Sejuani, where I did cut out the 1080p artwork with no blur and the right colours). It has a promiment spot and remembers me to stay the fuck calm when things don't work out - just as Bard does.

Thank you for this totally (and thankfully!) underrated and beautiful character! I feel better now after finally posting this!
