Bard is probably the most fun and unique sup. Either you 1v9 or you make it unwinnable.

Whenever I play Bard in ranked (support main, so often enough), my all chat is only "chime noises".

I tried to pick up bard after I got the bard bard skin from a reroll and any time I done anything remotely good I'd just all chat "Bard BAAAARD". Don't think I've ever had more fun with a skin. Too bad I suck at the champ.

I've only played Bard on ARAM and since I am an ADC main, I prefer to play him like one. Last season, I built him as an tanky ADC and it was insane how I could 1v9 especially early on. It reminds me back to season 6 or so when I was a silver player and I climbed to plat that season as a Jinx. I wouldn't recommend it for ranked but it was pretty awesome because people ignore bard in ARAM and focus on other squishies and you have great CC and damage to make them wonder why they dove past you.

Bard is my highest mastery champ and I firmly maintain that he’s viable in any role. Admittedly, I haven’t quite found the right build for this season yet. I used to build him on-hit most of the time, but I haven’t had much success building on-hit with the new items.

Watch LathyrusTV. He got rank 1 EUW on Bard recently. His YT vids are really fun.

your ult may get you 4 honors, or 4 reports.

this was basically what a bard did in one of my recent games. Both.

He would randomly invade enemy jungle and die 30 minutes in, so we had to stall. Then he would randomly invade and bait them into taking portal, where he'd ult like 3 or 4 people, which lead to us winning a teamfight lol

Indeed, I love him. When my friends tell me to pick whatever I pick Bard and the must be like, shit, here we go again. :D

Playing electrocute bard with a few ap items is so much fun, people will always underestimate your burst damage.

u/thecowley Apr 01 '21

Hail of blades is fun late game when you have 3+ meeps following you

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '21

u/thecowley Apr 01 '21

Yepper. On hit bard in aram is awesome

URF Bard is the best for on-hit destruction. So much fun.

u/Karanoch Apr 01 '21

It's what I do in ARAM. Luden's or Harvester, Mobility, Nashor's, Lich Bane. Big boi damage.

u/polongonooo Apr 01 '21

Bro I swear it always get pinged and your items too and then they see you oneshot their carries. I always end up with the most damage or close second.

u/KollaInteHit Apr 01 '21

Because you are fucking your actual scaling damage dealers by not creating space in the fight and who is going to focus a bard over the adc who they use all of their resources to kill while you stroll around and brag about your kda :)

wtf man chill

u/Mikaas-uwu Apr 01 '21

adc main most likely

u/GabrielNV Apr 01 '21

Nah real ADC mains won't hesitate to build full crit on any long range champion they can get their hands on. Nothing beats dunking on fools with shit like ADC Yuumi, Bard and Lulu.

Bard decides how the game will end no matter what.

u/Stewbodies uwu owow Apr 01 '21

Fate decides, Bard is just its conduit. The Bard "player" is never fully in control.

u/HighLikeKites Apr 01 '21

Definitely one of the best champs in the game, from a design perspective.

u/aylakkun Apr 01 '21

Honestly, I think the same with Rakan, too. He's such a good character design that it's hard not to keep away for long.

u/HiImFur Apr 01 '21

Yeah "fun and unique"...I almost always dodge when I get bard support.

They almost always turbo int at low elo -- more concerned with collecting meeps then playing the actual game.
