Yes, 1 good match won't change the fact that bard overall win 45% of his games. In a 5 player team having 5% negative impact from the start is really aweful.
And no... before you argue that he just need more skill and practice take a look at his lolking stats : http://www.lolking.net/champions/bard#statistics . Bard players already manage 3% more win rate the randoms with the character. They are already a good way into reaching the skill cap. Look at how the win rate obviously drop when you make him free...
Bard have no relevant way to waveclear before the 65th chime. You might manage to fool another bronze player. But any mid who know him could just shove the wave in your tower and deny you half your cs and even force you in lane instead of collecting chimes.
You got a good game with bard doe. GJ ! :D
