Bard, the Wandering Caretaker, revealed!

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]Except this one doesn't male you or your enemies disappear completely (WTF!) Instead, you get the enemies following you through. No really.[/quote]

[quote=HiFromBuddha]Mmmhm. Different uses imo. Janus' portals double up as an invulnerability as well (like Bard's ult funnily enough). One thing that is to note though is that Bard and allies travel faster with [[Magical Journey]] (thank you Roti for making that its name) than enemies do based on the rank of the ability (starts at 10% faster and is 50% at max rank), so it can act as a reliable escape for you and allies.[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]Who cares about the escape? You can use it to setup ganks and junk, it's going to be annoying as hell.[/quote]

[quote=Zordagoth]I'm probably take him out on a magical jungle journey. Aoe dmg/CC mobility, sustain, gain mana and exp from moving over the map. Definitely not an insane potential, but I think it can be fun :D[/quote]

[quote=sirell]And we all thought the [[thresh]] lantern was game-changing for ganking.[/quote]

[quote=Teemoshy]I guess I was wrong on the Q ratio. Oh well, I'm still going to play the crap out of him :D[/quote]

[quote=Joxuu]The E didn't work as I thought. You need to click on the portal to go through it so it probably won't be a great tool to zone ppl. What do ppl think about Bard's itemization? I mostly mean the starting component. At first I thought abpit just taking the [[relic shield]] and upgrade it later on. This would also mean I'd take probably AD marks and armor quints but now I'm not too sure. Bard's mana costs are quite big so [[frostfang]] and leaving it there would be decent too. I'll probably lean towards AD runes with [[relic shield]] but time will tell.[/quote]

It's actually a really good catching tool with that range.[/quote]

(Thus not making the best use of relic or frostfang)[/quote]

[quote=Sovietski]He looks like he has a fairly strong kit for those doing group play but I can imagine in solo Q he's going to suck and/or be the cause of a lot of rage on his own team[/quote]
