Hi there. I used this guide during my first Bard game (a loss, but still). I think it is a nice guide so far, but I wanted to point out one potential improvement. The runes you listed are fine, but there is a slightly cheaper combination which is equivalent. Swap the Quint of flat Magic Resistance for a Quint of flat Cooldown Reduction, and three Glyphs of flat Cooldown Reduction for three Glyphs of flat Magic Resistance, and the runes are slightly cheaper and do the exact same thing. Based on my calculations, this saves 729 influence points if starting from scratch (719 for the magic resistance runes, 10 for the Cooldown Reduction runes). Many of us also already have the glyphs of magic resistance, but I am among those who never have enough influence points to buy everything I might want to get (runes, champions, etc.).

I am not going to vote either way just yet, as I lack experience with the build, but I like it so far. I especially appreciate how straightforward this guide is for somebody like me who often checks out guides before a game and does not always have the time to read every little detail.

Two last things though. Would you recommend using movement speed quints, or not? Also, I like the little detail about being INTJ. I am a former INFJ who turned into an ENTJ.

Cheers!
