What could this mean?
Can you stop destroying the stars?
Sol- I do what I want bish.
-You're destroying cosmic balance!!!
Sol- so?
-YOU DON't CARE ABOUT THE UNIVERSE?!?!
Sol-No.
-YOU WANNA TAKE THIS OUTSIDE?!
Sol-We are outside.
Meeps- Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
EDIT: Riot removed Aurelion Sol as rival. Maybe it was WhyRenektonWhy who leaked it and it was terminated.
Hollow Miracles19 votesI love the idea that Bard could actually be some massively powerful god-tier entity who could take on someone like Aurelion Sol and make it a good fight. As the guy who seems to be in charge of balancing the universe, I feel like he should have some untapped reserves of energy that he whips out in case the world needs some serious correcting. Like he's that innocent character in the background that turns out to have terrifying levels of power. I haven't read up on him much though , so I doubt it's true. Awesome to imagine though xD
Pikmints9 votesIt'd be hilarious if they were both supports though. Just marginally more tension than a full tank slap fight.
Supreme Senpai694 votesOh man I'd love it if he were a support. Haven't had a new one of those in awhile.
Hollow Miracles11 votesIt'd be even more awesome if he was similar to champs like Morgana or Zilean in that he can be both a good support and a good mid-laner (or maybe some other role, idk). Having a champion so full of himself turn out to be a hardcore utility support would be quite anti-climactic.
CosmicKiwii1 votesAo Shin was supposed to be a support/mid laner
Magnum Mack1 votesI am so swole
Rito Staff8 votesYou know how powerful Bard gets after 40-50min of chime collecting right? c::
Hollow Miracles2 votesI know that if you build some decent AP he'll chunk like crazy, but his entire "burst" combo is two motions, one of of which is an auto-attack. I just wish he was less cosmic hobo and more crazy dimension-hopping peacekeeper/badass.
Old Man Teeto1 votesBard is ancient, imagine how many chimes he's collected after eons of wandering.
Hollow Miracles3 votesGood point. I guess, following that logic, he would be able to swing his little instrument and wipe out entire nations (or something of similar scale). That sounds amazing.
Hoodwink1 votesI main Bard, can confirm he is a god-tier entity with terrifying levels of power.
Hollow Miracles1 votesI know he's not BAD, but he seems to me like the perfect champ for strategic minds. Instead of dealing damage and carrying, he can make plays due to the fact that every little move of his is carefully planned.
Blue Moon Wolf1 votesLike he's that innocent character in the background that turns out to have terrifying levels of power
Like gohan in Dragon Ball Z, except more useful :p
Hollow Miracles2 votesPrecisely XD
IreliaCarrlesU4 votesFor bards rework, we wanted to give more gameplay reflecting is universe lv status, so now when u collcect 150 chimes, u get the following bonuses
Bards autos now deal percent max health true damage, scaling with .5% per lifelong auto attacks by an enemy champion on bard.
Bards q is now the longest skill shot in the game, if it hits 2 champions bard can pick any target location for them to appear and be stunned for 4 seconds.
bard can transfer all his meeps to his adc, 1 meep doubles attack speed, 2 meeps double ad, 3 meeps grants the adc any other adcs passive permanently in addition to thier own, 150 meeps, makes the adcs every auto attack be accompanied with thier ult, but weakens bar to his normal form.
bard's magical journey, can now teleport units, if used on the enemy nexus, bards team wins.
bard no longer needs shrines, he can now revive his dead team mates to full health.
we think these changes will make bards little minigame more meaningful to all players involved.
Blue Moon Wolf1 votes10/10. would spam in ranked
Okola13381 voteswould love that a lot!
Ligerzz15 votesDon't you mean...
- Eyyooooyyyyeeeoppoeyyyyyyaaaaa
Sol- Your inability to speak words displeases me oh so much.
The Last Ballad10 votesHe speaks normally, we just cannot understand him because his words might change our actions, putting the universe in danger. So we get orchestral music instead.
ZGM Dazzling2 votesSol - I find your lack of words disturbing.
force star destruction
lolipopevelynn4 votesforger implied he both creates and destroys. if he does both there is a balance, so i dont think bard would have a problem.
Virgin Ray7 votes "It's just annoying for me, he keeps creating and destroying, either way it makes so much freaking sound, I'm trying to get some sleep here."
maxaroni1181 votessame
Zarkkast2 votesBut there's no sound in space. :x
Nanuk Pihoqahiak1 votesZarkkast2 votesThose are electromagnetic waves, not sound (mechanical) waves.
What we hear in the video is a human manipulation of electromagnetic vibrations into mechanical vibrations.
Virgin Ray2 votesWait why isn't there sound in space? Does sound need like oxygen molecules or something to actually move? I'm not saying your wrong by any means, just curious.
Zarkkast2 votesMechanical waves need molecules to move through.
Space is a vacuum where molecule density in space varies from 10^-4 to 10^6.
On Earth, at sea level, the molecule density is of 10^19, at least 3 times more molecules than you'll ever find in space.
That being said, since there are molecules in space, there can potentially be sound, but no human, and probably not any other animal on Earth, would be able to hear it, since our auditory system has evolved to work on an environment that is a lot more dense.
Virgin Ray2 votesHey guys I found a 
tist on the boards!
C4H8N8O81 votesGod, i though you meant a sionist Xd .
theArtifacts1 votesBut there's no sound in space. :x
Sure there is. It's just not the same as sound on Earth.
Epic Murph4 votesSol- Please, what could an airbag like you do to me?
Sharjo3 votesIt means sod all because it was put there without any rhyme or reason other than the two could possibly have a connection. There's no lore about it that's been released so don't postulate that there's a connection just yet, no matter how obvious it may seem. Wait on official Riot sources for that.
shadowlordkiro2 votesIt's fun to discuss what comes next otherwise it's just waiting for the next bit of content and that can be dull
Gnart Even Close2 votesi can't see that bard is rivals with aurelion sol. idk if it was something temporary, but it's not showing up for me qq
A Liberal2 votesEveryone is complaining about Sol being a ultra-high power god and how it seems ridiculous in lore, but I think it fits quite nicely. We already had our cosmic protector, but who is he protecting the cosmos from?
Bultz1 voteslol why do people think Bard would be on a level to compete with someone with Aurelion Sol's level. Like Bard doesn't even seem close to him.
Virgin Ray2 votesYou have been slain Aurelion Sol- "Nom Nom Nom that tasted purple."
WolfBV1 voteslol why do people think Bard would be on a level to compete with someone with Aurelion Sol's level. Like Bard doesn't even seem close to him.
Well they're both listed as celestial beings, and I'm going to assume that the thing that has one of its jobs being to steer the universe away from destruction should be pretty powerful.
Placentas1 votesWe only get a glimpse of Bard's true power through his kit. If he was as powerful in game as he is in lore he would just insta-win every time.
HeartPalpitation1 votesif bard really is sol's rival they NEED to make a cinematic of it, i can imagine the fight in my head now.
V The Support V1 votesBard is my favorite champion, but unfortunately I would disagree.
"Some fall to their knees and worship"
If we do find out that Bard took Aurelion's egg into space in the "Mountain" cinematic then more likely than not Bard is Aurlion's caretaker ie: His Bish.
CosmicKiwii1 votesI dont get why he's called golden sun if he destroys golden suns
