The lack of defensive runes is concerning.

A safer alternative if armor red + quints, health

seals, and MR quints. Until you defend your

runes better on this cheat sheet, i'm still obliged

to think that that rune loadout is better.

I don't see any reason why Froozen fist or RFC should

I run these runes pretty much regardless as to the Bard build. The scaling HP runes both provide +9.72 HP per

levelup (which increases lane sustain), but also provide almost 200 HP at level 18, which helps you get the passive

of Warmog's Armor earlier, while also increasing your general tankiness.

The HP regen runes are what gets Bard through the early game, and enables him to play so aggressively. These

runes, plus his base HP regeneration, plus mastery bonuses allow Bard to start the game restoring 5 HP per

second. This is half the HP regen that a potion grants you, meaning that Bard is effectively drinking a free HP

potion every 30 seconds. Especially early game, before people do too much damage, this is some serious sustain.

Even after a bad trade, you can wait a minute and be nearly full health, whereas your opponents will not be as

lucky. With this passive regeneration I can outsustain most enemy laners, even when they come to lane with

three health cookies, and even if you take some serious beatings.

Masteries

There are two mastery buildpaths I use on Bard, depending on whether I am playing aggressively, or playing for

Tank, and they're very similar.

The Cunning Tree

or   Savagery

What's to prevent your opponents from simply CCing

you and focusing you down in 2 seconds. A thresh canvery easily abuse your lack of early defensive stats. -2

I'm unhappy with the way you've formatted these

masteries. Take a look as some popular guides, and

change this section around based on some of the other

guides you've read.

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

6/23

This one is obvious: Bard roams a lot, and movement speed helps one do this faster, thus losing out on xp and

money less.

or

Another obvious one. Bard is a support, and will not be assassinating people or getting buffs, usually. The HP potion

buff boosts our sustain.

or

Bard wants the mana, in order to better spam spells across all stages of the game. Bard is not a damage carry: his

damage is fantastic, but secondary in focus to the utility Bard provides (which needs spells).

or

Early game, one of the most important goals Bard has is money generation, to better scale. Bandit offers money

generation. Therefore, Bandit. Bard has enough mana and HP sustain.

or

The faster Bard can cast spells, the more utility he can provide his team. Bard doesn't build damage, and so the

penetration would be largely useless.

or or

While Bard could easily chunk a squishy carry late game, that would only ever happen late game, making

Stormraider's Surge useless until then. Windspeaker's Blessing COULD work, but Bard's heal is mediocre aross most

stages of the game, and that would be the only proc for Windspeaker's. By comparison, since a single meep-buffedAutoattack counts as two hits for Thunderlord's Decree, proccing the damage is easy for Bard (and late game, this

damage is rather significant). Couple that with his typically aggressive lane, Thunderlord's is the way to go.

The Resolve Tree

or

We maximize as much HP regeneration as possible, as all together that is our early game sustain.

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

7/23

Tough Skin provides a minor defensive bonus, but with the health and regen Bard will start the game with (per

these runes/masteries), the 2 damage defense is not needed. Comparatively, Bard's movement speed is one of his

primary statistics, and so Explorer is where we go here.

or

Again, we want to stack as much HP regeneration as possible for our lane sustain: restoring 5 HP per second goes

much further for our sustain than an extra 45 health.

or

This one is a very tough choice. Summoner spells are never not useful. However, as sustain is what minimizes

Bard's otherwise lackluster lane, I tend to go for Perseverance. That said, either can work.

or

An extra potential 15 armor/magic resist is decent, however I'd much rather shrug off enemy CC so that I can go

where I need to, when I need to, whether it be peeling or chasing or escaping. Of course, 15% isn't exactly

"shrugging off" cc, but it's better than 0%.

or or

I could easily see a good argument for all three of these. I choose Grasp of the Undying because whenever

possible, I play Bard aggressively. While Bond of Stone and Strength of the Ages both in crease survivability,

they do so in a more passive role. While Grasp of the Undying arguably doesn't increase survivability as much, itis the only one of the three that actively increases Bard's aggressive capability, and so this is the keystone that I

prefer when building TankBard.

Summoner Spells

Flash is a default spell in almost 100% of LoL games. Used for escaping or chasing. Coupled

with Magical Journey  it can lead to some pretty neat jukes when your Cosmic Binding  is

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

8/23

Why take Ignite  over Exhaust, though? Exhaust  is a staple spell for nearly every

support, after all: it peels and might save your ally. However, Bard's entire kit is good for

peeling: you have two slows, two (potential) stuns, a speedbuff, and Magical Journey: there

is so much peel potential in Bard's kit that Exhaust is almost redundant. Ignite  on the

other hand synchronizes extremely well with Bard's aggressive lane gameplay. Most of Bard's

laning revolves around your harassment, and with Ignite  you have rather decent kill-

pressure in-lane. Late game Bard does pretty reasonable damage, and with Ignite  you even

have the potential to solo many of their carries.

Skills

  Traveler's Call  is Bard's passive, and it largely defines his gameplay. Chimes provide utility,

restoring your mana and providing a speed buff, while increasing the AoE, damage, and slow of 

your meeps.

Early game it is important that you DO NOT ABANDON YOUR ADC IN LANE. Chimes spawn in

pairs every 50 seconds, but leaving your adc for one or two meeps is not worth it- especially

not if your ADC dies. Early game Bard is slow- so only leave lane to collect chimes when there

are several grouped together, for the combined speedbuff that get you back to lane faster.

A great thing about meeps is that a meep-based AA counts as both spell damage and two hits:

so a meep will proc two hits towards Thunderlords, two hits for Spellthief's edge, and it will proc

Luden's Echo if you're building AP.

Mid-game meep collection is one of your priorities. Once you have boots you can start roaming

around, collecting meeps as you pass to speed up your roaming supportnature.

  Cosmic Binding  is a pretty decent spell- though it is much MUCH stronger mid/late game,

once you leave the lane. This is because during the laning phase, erratic minion movement (or

merely their existence) can make it difficult to land the stun, and the early CD of the spell is

very long. After the laning phase, higher concentrations of enemy champs + minions being

melted by everyone's higher-damage makes it much easier to land the stun. Jungle fights

especially are great for Bard. No minion blockage + plentiful walls for tunnels and stuns make

the jungle Bard's best friend.

The spell does fairly decent damage if maxed first, and the mana cost is low enough that you

can spam it fairly reasonably without running out of Mana too soon. With max CDR you can be

pumping out 2 second stuns ever 3 seconds.

TIP: If ever you need to escape, or even just buy time, make a tunnel: if the enemy champs

follow you can guarantee a stun on them as they come out of the tunnel.

uhhh... Idk about THAT

So when IS it worth it to leave your ADC? When the

lane's pushed? When it's frozen? Yoou've gotta be

more specific here. Perhaps even show an example!

You've got to expand on how to use this spell in lane. If i

recall correctly, cosmic binding is strong to use to stun

your opponent ADC when casted through caster

minions - especially when your opponent ADC is looking

to last hit one of your caster minions. -2

TIP 2: The hitbox on Cosmic Binding  will land the stun if any part of the thing touches a

second solid surface- it does not need to directly hit a wall, merely brushing a wall/champ with

the second half of the spell will do enough. Unfortunately, this also can make it difficult to land

the spell through smaller gaps in minion walls.

TIP 3: Cosmic Binding  will stun also if it hits player-made terrain, such as Trundle's pillar,

or Anivia's wall. The spell stuns on what you  consider to be solid terrain. The gates in the

enemy base will count for stuns, even though to the enemy team they are not solid terrain.

The gates in your base, however, will not.

 Caretaker's Shrine  is a bit of a mediocre spell. High mana costs and long cooldowns make it

almost impossible to spam early game, and the heal is very low unless you max it first (though

having two points in it early game make for an "ok" heal to keep your ADC sustain up). Early

game it's best to set up the heals in a line behind you, so that if you're ganked your ADC can

run across them for the speed buff in order to escape. Of course, it's best to also remind your

ADC that the heal more than doubles when it fully charges, else they may be liable to waste

the shrine. Also, allies often run PAST the shrines frustratingly often in-game, so there's that.

Mid/late game toss them around your backline if it looks like a fight is setting up, to help people

escape if need be. Most of the game, however, this heal will be directly cast on people to give

them short-lived speedbuffs. Remember that you'll get assists for any kill if a healed ally has

dealt damage on that kill. Tossing a heal on an ADC or APC can net you plenty of extra assists.

  Magical Journey  is a skill with immense utility- though it is limited in use during the laning

phase. Use it to chase, escape, cut off escapes, set up ganks, or merely just traverse the map

quickly. Remember that enemies can travel through the tunnel too- but in doing so they set

themselves up for a perfect Cosmic Binding  stun, which can often lead to their deaths.

A fantastic part about Magical Journey  is that while you can be hit and/or knocked out of the

tunnel, travelling through it ignores both stuns and slows. Nasus  cast Wither  on you? Flee

through a tunnel and you'll move just as fast as you would normally, effectively nullifying the

slow.

In teamfights, tunnels will usually be used to chase, escape, or cut enemies off. They flashed a

wall? Magical Journey  through with your allies to finish the kill. You're team is winning the

fight, but their carries are escaping? Magical Journey  to their backlines and cut them off. If 

you're getting chunked in a fight, use this to create some distance. The longer the tunnel the

better: it's a perfect tool for repositioning, and stalling so that you can refresh your cooldowns and

start casting them Qs again.

It is important to note that the cooldown on Magical Journey is pretty long early game, and

you CAN be knocked out of the tunnel by something like Blitzcrank's pull, or a knockup effect.

Magical journey is especially strong on the purple side,

since it's very easy to set up a gank for your jungler by

using magical journey while your opponents are pushed

up to your tower. -2

You forgot to outline an important aspect to magical

 journey, which is that it allows you to travel in ways thatcan dodge your opponents wards, and also gives you

more safety when you're deep warding your opponents

 jungle, as you have a way to escape without getting as

easily collapsed upon. -2

 Tempered Fate  is Bard's final skill, and the utility on this ult is enormous. It gives a

Zhonya's Hourglass  active effect to everything it hits, rendering every tower, champion,

minion, dragon, and baron invulnerable, but unable to move/attack/spellcast etc for the

duration. Using this ability, you can

Shut down towers to enable a towerdive.

Catch an enemy out of position, and give your team time to set up for the kill.

Initiate a teamfight.

Peel enemies if you lose a teamfight.

Buy time for your cooldowns to refresh/get somewhere/get your

teamsomewhere.

Cut off an enemy's escape

Save an enemy from Zed's ult (or any other source of damage).

Freeze a chunk of the enemy team to give your team a temporary numbers

advantage in a fight.

Cast Tempered Fate over a Zhonyas'd ally to freeze nearby enemies- your

ally will de-Zhonyas first, and give them a second or two head start to flee.

The list goes on. Usually the ult will be used to initiate a teamfight, or cut off chasing enemies

to save an ally, but always keep an eye open for other opportunities. In both cases, you can

use that 2.5 seconds to set yourself up for the perfect Q stun (if you're using the ult

aggressively).

There are three main risks to remember about this spell.

1: Tempered Fate does not differentiate between enemies and allies: if you miss it could do

as much damage to your team as it could've done to the enemy's team.

2: (And most importantly) there is a travel delay on the casting of Tempered Fate, which

gets longer the further away you are casting this spell. Generally, you want to cast your ult on

targets that are very close, because at max range you may very rarely actually land the ult onyour targets- it could take several seconds for the spell to land. This can sometimes lead to a

ruined engage if an ally casts a thing after you've ulted, but before the ult lands. On the other

hand, it DOES create a space your enemies cannot enter: so it can still be useful to slow

down/cut off/stop chasing enemies and save an ally.

3: Spellshields will   block Tempered Fate- so be cautious when casting it against a

Morgana, Sivir, or Nocturne.

Items

As a champion, Bard can be pretty versatile in buildpath, but he is always  dependant on items. Here are the items I

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

11/23

recommend building on Bard, and why.

Main Items.

These items you ought to build almost every single game.

Spellthief's Edge

This (and its upgraded lvl 2 variant) is the staple of most Bard laning phases. With your meep-enhanced

autoattacks, this item gives you the most money out of all support gold items (by a very   significant margin), and it

also provides you with increased damage and mana regeneration- both of which are great for laning. Even if your

opponents are able to outsustain your poke don't stop poking! Early game, this item is your primary source of 

income- the more you hit enemies, the more money you make. Harassment is your version of farming.

Ancient Coin

If your opponent gets a dangerous advantage, or you are otherwise unable to keep up a steady stream of 

harassment, don't hesitate to sell your Spellthief's Edge  for an Ancient Coin. This increases your sustain, and

provides the second greatest source of income out of support gold items for you. Even though this item does not

provide extra harassment damage, you still make money by autoattacking enemies (via masteries), so keep up the

harass if   and when you can do so safely.

  Sighttone

This is a mandatory item. As the team's support, you are the primary source of vision for your team, which enables

you to see the enemy team's movement, which protects you from ganks and ambushes. Do not forget to ward ! Itis especially important to keep vision on Dragon and Baron (especially-especially on Baron).

  Iceborn Gauntlet

If I could pick a single core item for Bard, this would be it. This item gives Bard nearly every statistic he needs:

cooldown reduction for spell spamming, mana to better enable  spell spamming, higher damage for harass, a longer-

lasting slow for peeling and chasing, and armour to keep you alive. This item is fantastic.

  Boots of Swiftness/Mobility

Give examples of dangerous lanes for bard.

It seems sort of selfish. I don't see how this beats the

defensive utility of something like mikaels or locket, and

you really need to sell me on precisely that. -2

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

12/23

These are my standard boots of choice for Bard. Both are viable. The Boots of Swiftness  is not as fast as the

boots mobility, meaning you will lose more time as you roam about the map and collect chimes. However, unlike

Boots of Mobility, the green boots do not lose any movement speed in combat, and provide a minor slow

resistance, making it easier for you to chase/escape/kite.

Comparatively, Boots of Mobility  are much  slower/more risky in combat, but give you a travel movement speed

of more than 500 when coupled with your other items.

Farsight Alteration

I prefer Farsight Alteration t o Oracle Alteration  because if I had to pick between the enemy team seeing my

team, or vice versa, I would choose seeing the enemy team. As support, you can only ever have 3 wards + 1 vision

ward on the map at all times. Considering the mandatory nature of a ward on Baron, and the near-mandatory

nature of a ward on Dragon, that leaves you with only one ward (maybe two, if you leave Dragon visionless) + one

vision ward to cover the rest of the map- and that's simply not enough. Farsight Alteration  allows you to litter

the entire map with wards, and while the vision radius is greatly reduced, they do  last forever. You can fill your

 jungle w ith this ward, and so long as the wards are u p you will know that there are no enemies on your h alf of the

field. This, in turn, tells you where the enemy must be, and allows you to roam your jungle at all times for chimes,

without ever fearing an ambush.

 Farsight Alteration  can also scout likely ambush points, letting you collect chimes deep in the enemy's junglesafely, knowing no one is near, or check Baron if you've no vision on it.

Use Farsight Alteration  to ward all non-extremely-important locations, and that lets you save your

Sightstone  wards for the front-lines whenever your team pushes, without ever losing vision in your jungle, Baron,

or Dragon.

I do not deny that Oracle Alteration  has a use, nor do I deny the importance of vision denial, but Farsight

Alteration  right now is simply a better defensive item, and more gold efficient, considering that 100% of the blue

wards you pop will give you half a vision ward, whereas you won't necessarily find enemy wards to clear 100% of 

the times you pop a red trinket.

  Rapid Firecannon

This item is surprisingly effective on an aggressive bard, even when you don't build damage. Coupled with

Iceborn Gauntlet, Traveler's Call, Dead Man's Plate, and Thunderlord's Decree Bard actually ends up doing

a very decent amount of mini-burst, that only increases the more chimes you collect (though without penetration,

you won't be hurting tanks too much). Early-mid game this can allow you to zone some opponents rather easily,

allowing your team some breathing room.

Mainly, though, you would be buying this item for the increased range. Bard has a rather mediocre-ranged kit,

which can make it hard to get close enough to trade or initiate through many parts of the game without either

being kited, or dealt too much damage to follow through. The longer range provided by the Rapid Firecannon

can allow you to lay down some harass without retaliation, or catch someone out of position easier: a meep/

Which do you prefer?

You have several allies that can use their farsight

alteration to plant wards in your jungle. If you use frost

queen's claim (i'm not quite sure why you don't), you can

use it to catch opponents, or use it to scout while warding.

Lack of vision denial makes it significantly more difficult to

control vision over neutral objectives like baron and

dragon, and also makes it more difficult to catch

opponents.

As it stands right now, I don't think your argument is

convincing enough to sell me on blue trinket >red trinket.-2

RFC gives you 650 range on your next empowered

autoattack. That's the range of caitlyn's autoattack. If

you're a caitlyn trying to autoattack the tank line before a

team fight, at 650 range, you're going to get initiated on

and absolutely deleted. I simply don't see how bard's fate

can end any better when his only defensive itemization (it

seems like you like to itemize SS -> Frozen Fist -> RFC)

is 60 armor.

You've done a better job convincing me of RFCcompared to frozen fist though.

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

13/23

Iceborn Gauntlet  slow can enable your team to catch up/let you set up a Cosmic Binding  and allow you to start

the cc chaining. While appearing to be counter-intuitive for a utility support, I consider the Rapid Firecannon  to

be integral for setting up a lot of pressure in many of my games.

Finally. Rapid Firecannon also provides you with some extra movement speed, which is an added bonus.

  Dead Man's Plate

If I were to choose a second mandatory staple of Bard's items, this one would be it. Decent tanky statistics make

you reasonably sturdy, but you take this item primarily for the passive. With this item, your other items, and your

masteries, Bard's base movespeed increases to 492 while out of combat. This lets you positively fly   across the map,

collecting chimes as fast as is possible. This item also increases your harass, chasing, and escaping potential,

making it extremely viable on Bard.

Situational Items

These items fill in your remaining item slots, and are more dependent in your opponent's team composition.

  Liandry's Torment

Nab this item mainly if the enemy team has a large number of tanks, and your allies are having a hard time

breaking them down- as a potential last item only. If you build Liandry's early, you'll only be weakening your

personal survive-ability, which is far more important. That said, if the enemy team is extremely tanky, and late

game your team is having a very hard time in teamfights, Liandry's becomes a viable option. With it, you can

personally bleed their entire team with a single AoE meep-attack (meeps count as spell damage), and soften up

their tanks before a teamfight, making it easier for your allies to actually kill them.

Remember, however, that you are primarily a utility support, not a damage dealer . Your job is to set up kills and

protect your allies. If your allies are unable to crack through enemy tanks, consider picking up this mask, but do

not do so with the intent of actually killing people, so much as better enabling your allies to kill people.

  Locket of the Iron Solari

Build this item early if your opponents have an APC that is snowballing, otherwise this item is one of the "last-item-

slot-variables," trading less personal tankiness for a minor defensive boost for the team. Late game the shield

might do little more than protect against an autoattack, or mitigate a spell, but it could potentially be the difference

between someone bleeding out to an ignite vs surviving to fight another day.

This is weakly defended, since %current health damage

is countered by flat resistances, and your rune loadout /

itemization doesn't prioritize magic pen to really exploit

the % health damage.

I again think that you're overemphasizing bard's poking

ability.

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

14/23

 Spirit Visage

Nab this  item if the enemy team has a larger amount of AP damage than AD damage, and you're finding it very

difficult to tank it all up. This item is preferable to Banshee's Veil, because this also grants cooldown reduction,

increasing your ability to spellspam.

You will probably usually rather build Locket of the Iron Solari  over Spirit Visage, because the former providesmore support to your team as a whole, but if you need more personal surviveability/if your team does not need the

Locket, then consider this for your final item slot.

  Warmog's Armor

If there is no seriously severe AP threat that is constantly killing you, Warmong's is another option for your last

item slot. The health makes you tanky (and synergizes well with Grasp of the Undying if you're going tankbard).

Mostly, though, you'll want this item for the passive, which lets you fully restore HP extremely quickly in between

fights, letting you stay out longer without having to go back, which in turn allows you to collect more meeps, or

push with your allies after a teamfight instead of backing to restore health.

Generally, you don't want to back without a reason: wards, picking up items, or restoring health being most

common. Each time you back, you're then forced to lose time travelling back to relevant parts of the map. With

Warmog's, you will only need to B for ward-refills or item buys, saving you time and making you more relevant

across the rest of the game.

Rapid Firecannon vs Frost Queen's Claim

 &  

VS

 &  

I was trying to figure out at one point why I use the Rapid Firecannon  after someone pointed out it was rather

atypical for a support. The item is a damage item, providing increased attack speed and critical chance- things that

Bard  will never use much in a support capacity. By comparison, I never liked using the Frost Queen's Claim

item, but didn't look at why .

Why is ruby sightstone and Eye of the watchers being

brought into this argument? There's literally no reason to

include sightstone purchases in this argument when

you're comparing RFC to FQC.Based on that precedent, I'm refraining from arguing this

comparison further - That said, i'm still very happy that

you've included this little paragraph in your guide.

Regardless of whether or not i agree with it, it shows the

reader that you've really put thought into your guide. -0

Next, lets look at the items in terms of gold efficiency.

SPOILER: CLICK TO VIEW

Finally, the in-game use of the items- mainly a comparison of the active and triggered abilities.

SPOILER: CLICK TO VIEW

TLDR: The Rapid Firecannon  provides a delivery system for CC more than 10 times as regularly as the active of

Frost Queen's Claim. The crits of the cannon provide higher damage output than the +25 AP provided by the

Frost queen. The Attack Speed provides comparable utility (faster meeps/   Iceborn Gauntlet  procs) to the 10%item cooldown reduction, considering my build barely runs any active-effect items. The movement speed is

comparable (though I lean towards better than) the +300 HP. Finally, the Rapid Firecannon  is almost 300%

gold efficient over the time it would take the Frost Queen's Claim  to be 114% gold efficient. Therefore, while the

 Frost Queen's Claim  and the Ruby Sightstone  provides a better single-cast active effect, and are a more

traditional support item combination, with Bard's Traveler's Call  and my suggested buildpath, Rapid

Firecannon  and Eye of the Watchers is my preferred item combination.

Early Game: Dominating the Laning Phase (Or Just Surviving It)

Early game is Bard's weakest point of the game. His Q can be difficult to land due to minion blockage, and his spellsall start out with very high cooldowns- Caretaker's Shrine  especially starts off with a very high mana cost.

However, against most supports, Bard can play extremely aggressively. Between thunderlords, meeps, regular

autos, Cosmic Binding, and the damage buff by Spellthief's Edge, Bard has one of the strongest harassments

from a utility support. You won't have the same burst as Sona, but you can not-so-slowly wither away at your lane

opponent's HP.

Your primary goals early game are to "stay alive," "keep your ADC alive," and "make money." Your HP regen ought

to keep you alive, nullifying your opponent's return harassment. If you can keep your opponents on the defensive,

they won't have the opportunity to kill your ADC or farm as well, and you can make the most possible money by

harassing, speeding up your core-item-aquisition: so playing extremely aggressively is usually the best thing to do.

Remember to keep your lane warded at all times.  I usually start a game with a vision ward, because againstmost opponents my harassing will cause my opponents to lose out on farm and that ends up pushing my lane. You

If that's the case, then why does he have a weak early

game? It seems like this section was very half-heartedly

written. Look to put more work into it, and really show

how to exert pressure. See the CLG vs C9 W7D2

NALCS game if you really want to see an example of

pressure.

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

16/23

want to keep ward coverage out at all   times. If you or your adc dies to a gank, that is almost always 100% your

fault as the support for not preventing that with vision. If you do not have any vision on you, communicate with

your ADC: tell them to back up, not to push, and play more passively until the lane shifts closer to your tower.

It may also be beneficial to specifically tell your ADC to focus on farming- not harass. You can tank the return

trade, thanks to your HP regeneration, but your allied ADC cannot, and you are not Soraka. I've had a number

of ADCs get baited by low enemies, and commit suicide trying to finish off the kill. Unless they can do so safely,

your ADC ought to focus on their CS while you harass, in order to maximize your lane gold lead.

If you start losing lane, do not continue playing aggressively!  If your lane opponents gain a dangerousadvantage over you and your opponent, do not foolishly continue to expose yourself for poke. Your regen keeps you

alive only if you survive their return harassment, and with a shorter-than-average range Bard often has to put

himself into danger in order to get his poke off. It is far better to not make as much money than it is to feed your

opponent's lane.

Meep Collection, and Bard's Gameplay Focus

Bard's first primary statistic is his Cooldown Reduction, because while Bard's Cooldowns are fairly long, the utility

they provide jumps massively the more often you're able to cast your spells- for example, at max rank, Cosmic

Binding  will stun for 1.8 seconds, and the cooldown would be 3.2 seconds (@45% CDR). That's essentially a 2second stun every 3 seconds, and that can massively   impact teamfights.

Bard's second main stat is his movement speed, and here's where meep collection comes in. Early game, before

you have the chance to buy boots (with mastery bonus), Bard's movement speed is 340. This is rather slow. While

Bard is the "roaming support" of LoL, you also have to remember that the longer it takes to roam somewhere, the

less money you will be making: you can't farm (because you're the support), can't harass if you're travelling

between lanes (where there aren't enemy champs), and you won't be getting as much experience as in lane,

either. This is why movement speed is so important for Bard: the faster you can traverse the map to collect

chimes, the faster you'll scale, and you'll lose out on less money and experience (because you'll be spending less

time away from the action).

Early game, you should not roam at all (or to collect meeps) unless

There are several chimes close together

Your ADC is not in lane

Your opponents are not in lane

You desperately need mana, and there are chimes very close to your lane, and/or

You are heading back to lane, and there are chimes not too far out of your path.

If your ADC dies because you are collecting meeps, then you are not doing your job properly. If you fall behind on

items and levels because you spent too much time trying to collect meeps before you became fast, then you are

not doing your job properly.

The thing is with the new vision changes, this is simply

impossible. Trinket wards last 60 seconds and

recharge every 180 seconds, meaning that there will be

some down time between your trinket wards.

There are many times that you don't even need to ward

your river. Often times, you can analyze the behavior of

solo lanes and determine from their behavior whether

or not the jungler is near that side of the map.As a support that neglects CS, you get to see things

that your teammates don't that part of that is making an

educated guess as to where the opponent jungler is. -3

You also need to visually show your readers how to

exert pressure in lane. These walls of text are getting

excessive and boring for me as a guide reviewer to

read - nonetheless a regular guide reader. -2

Give your readers an idea of what a good 'meep goal' is

at various times in the game. Of course these meep

goals will vary depending on how bloody the game is

and also how your laning phase is going, but doing this

will give your reader an idea of how frequently they

should leave lane to collect meeps.

You may also want to give your readers some quizzes by

taking snapshots of your bot lane + minimap and asking

your reader "Is this an opportune time to grab meeps?"-4

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

17/23

Don't worry about losing out on chimes- they last, remember, 10 minutes each. It is not uncommon to end the

laning phase with only 10/15 chimes, but jumping by 10 or even more in a single sweep of your jungle.

----

Mid Game

is where Bard truly begins to thrive. After laning phase, members of both teams start to roam, looking for

openings and advantage. Remember: time spent roaming is time not spent getting money. Take advantage

of people roaming to do most of your own roaming: by now you ought to have boots, and so your goal is to

collect as many meeps as you can, while looking for opportunities to lead your team ahead. Your

Tempered Fate  and Magical Journey  can both be used extremely efficiently to catch an opponent (ormore) out of position and net your team some kills.

DO NOT FORGET TO KEEP WARDING.  My build uses the Blue Trinket instead of the red, because I

believe that having vision is far more important than denying your opponent vision. Vision saves lives.  If 

you know where the enemy is, then you can collect chimes safely, the enemy cannot ambush you or your

allies, and you will know where to go in order to catch people out. Warding is an incredibly important

 job: you ought to have more than 3 wards out at all time, and especially   make sure you have

eyes on Baron.

Late Game

The longer the game goes on, the stronger Bard becomes. His meeps begin to do some serious damage (to

non-tanks (since Bard doesn't build penetration)), and you are tanky enough that you can potentially 1 v 1

an enemy carry. With your CDR, mobility, and CC, if you can catch an enemy for your team, they'll

probably die. Late game, Bard's role is that of initiator, and of peeler. Use your Tempered Fate  and/or

Cosmic Binding  to either set up fights, or peel your team out of fights. Remember that you need to protect

your allies as much as you need to set up kills: if your AD or APC needs help because they're being dived, it

is as much your job to save them as it is for you to lock down the opponent's carries, if not more so. Let

your team's tank dive their backline if need be, in order to save your carry's lives.

Late game, the best time to collect chimes is after a successful teamfight, and/or after most of each team

has gone back. Bard does next to no damage to towers, so in many cases it would be better for you to let

your allies push while you collect chimes, in order to continue your infinite scaling and make a larger

impact on the next fight.

Teamfights: To Peel, or to Lock Down?

Bard has the ability to peel or lock down enemy carries equally efficiently. The question is, then, which takes

priority under which circumstances?

In order to answer that question, you must first consider these conditions.

Where are the enemy carries?

If your opponent's carries are not in the teamfight, where are they? You should never initiate a fight

If this part of the game is where bard's suupposed

power spike is, then why are there only two paragraphs

written on this section of the guide? This should be the

apex of your guide. -7

Also, these blocks of text are seriously becoming really

difficult to read. Look to experiment with images, andalso [table]s to make your points easier to read.

You may also want to head to the artist's corner and get

some nice dividers for yourself, since the dividers that

 jhoijhoi includes in her guide to making a guide are

kinda shitty.

Your build has 2 defensive items (2 armor/health, 1

MR). That's not exactly very tanky against a carry withlifesteal and penetration.

Show an example of yourself catching an opponent

carry.

Really explicitly state which of these roles take

precedence. Does Peeling assassins from your carries

takes higher precedence than initiating a fight?.

.

.

.

.

.

..

.

Ah - you answer that here. So if you answer my

question here, then what was the point of your late

game paragraphs? I didn't really get a meaningful

message out of that section...

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

18/23

without vision of surrounding bushes: else an enemy carry could jump your carries after the fight

has started. Master Yi  especially is great at cleaning up fights.

If the enemy carries are towards the front of their lines, then they are out of position, and you

would do well to initiate a fight against them. If their carries are on a different part of the map, you

could initiate to push advantage. If their carries are towards their backlines, or not visible, then it is

better to play safer.

Where are your carries?

If your carries are towards your frontline, then they are out of position and you had best save them

from their own recklessness- focus on peel. If your carries are towards the back, then they'rerelatively safe and don't need peeling. If your carries are diving in, then do what you can to keep

them alive so that they can do what they're trying to do (or survive, if what they're trying to do is

ill-advised).

How far ahead is your team- is the enemy likely to try kiting you, or push against you?

If your team has a large advantage, the enemies will most likely kite your team in a fight, in order

to best protect their carries. In this instance, you can go aggressively ham, and lock down

whomever you can for kills, reasonably safe in the knowledge that your opponents will fall back

instead of reacting with damage. If your team is at the disadvantage, however, then the opponents

will most likely be pushing against/diving your carries, in which case it would be better to save some

of your CC for a counter-engage/peel, as YOUR team kites for survival.

How dangerous are your carries/how important are they to the teamfight?A carry is a carry, but sometimes they're not carrying. A 0/10 ADC is not very dangerous, will

contribute little to the fight, and give little gold when they die. If your carries are doing nothing,

there is little point in using your CC to save them, when you could instead lock down the opposing

carries and help your tank/bruiser kill your opponent's carries and stop the fight.

How dangerous are the enemy carries?

If your opponents carries are behind, then it might be better to peel off your opponents

tanks/bruisers. If your opponent's carries are ahead, then locking them down ought to take priority:

this would also double as peeling for your team.

How much health/mana do you have?

If you are low on health and/or mana, you ought to peel, every time. Initiating/diving their carries is

a dangerous job that will take a toll on your odds of surviving. When you're low, it is better to flit

about the edges of the fight and survive, CCing the enemies as safely as you can without dying.

If you fall behind...

Some opponents (   Blitzcrank, LeBlanc, Quinn, Akali, etc) have a very high snowball potential. Whether

it is your fault or not, you won't be able to win every game, and sometimes you may find yourself on a team that is

falling behind.

If your opponents are dominating the game, your top priority is to deny them money. Use your CC to deny the

opponent's money, and peel out your allies as often as you can.

Okay first of all, you need to really clarify and

differentiate between assassins and carries. You should

always initiate a 5v4 fight if you know your opponent

ADC is somewhere else on the map.

You shouldn't necessarily initiate a 5v4 fight if you know

that your opponent ASSASSIN cannot be seen, and

may be in a position to easily flank your carries. Thissmall difference can SERIOUSLY mislead your readers

-5

Give your readers an idea of what % health threshold

you should be at before you leave the front line and

help your team through your continued utility?

Also look to give your readers a tutorial on identifyingand playing around flanks in team fights.

I don't understand the point of this section. can you

expand on exactly how you deny your opponents

money without getting caught? Perhaps give anexample

8/20/2019 Bard guide review

19/23

Nomatter which build you originally aimed for, if your opponents get ahead you want to start building tank  as

soon as you can: specifically aiming for resistances that would protect you against their main carr(ies).

Be careful collecting chimes. While chimes largely define Bard's late game potential, they are not worth dying

for when they're further ahead than you. Save chime collection for when you have eyes on the enemies

somewhere else, collect as many as you can, and go B immediately. Do not roam without vision.

If your team falls behind, your goal is the late game. The longer the game goes on, the more your team can catch

up in items. Nomatter how much gold your opponents get, they cannot get more than 6 items each. It is your job

to try to stall the game out as long as possible. Once your team gets some more items, your opponent's lead willdiminish until you are on square footing again.

AP Bard

AP Bard is an option, though it is a very niche pick- by which I mean that it CAN work, but you probably do not

want to make this a regular pick in ranked. The advantage is that Bard's meeps plus Lich Bane  and Luden's

Echo  and Nashor's Tooth  can do some serious damage late game, and few will expect it to come from the

Support. As a downside, you will be very squishy, and you'll be relying heavily on Bard's natural utility early game.

Your kit doesn't stop providing utility just because you do damage, and with damage added in you can be

surprisingly dangerous.

Don't get the wrong idea, however. Even as a support-APC, Bard is still   a utility-based champion, and your priorities

throughout the game will not   change. The difference is that in locking down an enemy, or peeling them, you might

chunk them at the same time.

Don't forget, though, if your opponents draw ahead, build tank immediately . Bard has a rather mediocre range. If 

the enemy team gets ahead, your squishiness and lack of range will probably kill you more often than not. It is far

better to resort to non-damage and survive, peeling out your team, than it is to keep trying to chunk the enemy

and out-damage them when they have a significant advantage.

The Proof's in the Pudding

Here are some example games where I show these builds. In these videos you will be able to see examples of 

ability useage, meep collection, warding, and the lane phase (and why HP Regen runes are extremely helpful on

that front).

In this video, I start out planning to build the standard Agro build. However, the enemy Talon started to snowball,

causing me to switch and start building tanky instead, until we were able to turn it around.

Include how/where to ward where behind.

Also, include a tutorial on how to ward when even, and

ahead too.

I'm of the opinion that if you don't advise a pick more

than 5% of the time, it'll do more harm to your reader

than it would do help them. I'd personally take this

section out of the guide.

I haven't watched these videos, but you should outline

and reiterate some of the things that you find important

in these games (WHEN, where do you ward? How do

you know it's safe to ward there?)

Reiterate how you position in team fights to minimize

the threat of your ADC being assassinated. Spoon feed

this kind of important information to your readers. Don't

 just dump a couple games in a youtube video and

expect your readers to get all the meaningful things you

did from watching that video.
