Explanation is there guys, this build will blow your mind and you'll have so much fun, i promise!!!!

First Of all, Bard is a hidden OP AP Mid Carry, he is able to stay in lane for ever doe to his Heal and Passive! Also his abilitys are very usefull, he has a VERY powerfull stun, an OP Heal and he can travel through wall with his E which makes him very hard to catch and kill. Through the items you buy you will get a lot of extra movement speed so noone will be able to catch you, i promise, and if someone follows you through a wall, just stun him with your Q.
Basically I thoughd about Bard AP Carry because of his OP passive, you'll one-shot people when you've collected about 80 Meeps doe to the extra Damage it gives you.

This is about it, it is my first Mobafire Guide and i just wanted to do this because i thoughd that the LoL community needed a Bard AP Carry Guide, please try it out, it makes so much fun!

When you arrive at your lane and start with skilling your Q you are able to trade really good,farming is a bit of a struggle, so if you'r not that used to Bards auto attacks better start off with a Dorans Blade. At level 2 you'll get your OP AS FCK heal, just place 2 healing seeds behind your tower and pick em up after a trade. You can start roaming at level 3. after skilling your E, it gives you a big advantage because you'll be able to make some plays and safe your Team Mates really easy. I prefere staying in lane and capturing a kill with your jungler, your stun needs a bit of practice to pull it off, but you'll figure it out really quick. Thats basically a Early-Mid game description, never forget to collect your Meeps because the passive grants u a huge damage advantage eraly on. In Late-Game ult the enemy Tanks/Supps and you'r team will be able to focus on ADC and APC more easily. In end game, as I already mentioned in the introduction you'll be able to solo any kind of AP/AD carry if they dont build to tanky, but still if they do, you can portal away, stun them, GG.

If you start learning Bard today, you'll rank up really fast, I just started playing him and im so impressed by his usefull abilitys and his DAMAGEEEEEE!!!
