Won 1 out of 8 games lmfao. But there's something about this champion that makes me want to keep playing without getting bored of.

New League player here, instantly picked up Bard. Thank you for the fantastic guide! Nothing like top-tier CC, faking out the enemy with Magical Journey and the MEEPS! Keep it up.

Nice guide bro, ty.

Excelente guia, um dos guias mais completos que já vi, obrigado amigo, seu guia vai ajudar bastante, acredito que deve ter dado muito trabalho e gasto bastante tempo pra faze-lo,Bard é um excelente campeão porém sempre fico na duvida por que escolhe-lo, e meu estilo de jogo é mais para suportes com iniciação alta ou seja com tanques, acredito que com o seu guia eu possa fazer o Bard dar certo nas minhas mãos. De alguma forma você conseguiu juntas tudo aquilo que precisava saber sobre o Bard em um guia completo. Muito obrigado mais uma vez. :D

Hello! Thanks for your guide, I'm main Bard and I use your guide to keep up to date :) I have a doubt though. I'm trying to get out of bronze OTP Bard XDD and I feel that sometimes a need to hard carry. To do so I want some AP/more aggressive situational item, I've been building protobelt, but what do you think would be the best? Thank you in advance ^^

noice

Hello there! Stumbled across the guide somehow even though I don't play Bard very much. You clearly have a lot of experience with this champion, and you did a good job explaining how to play and build.

Aside from some coding things that you could do to spice up the guide (like scaling the images you have to fit nicely), the one big tip I have for you is condense the Changelogs! Quite frankly it looks bad, can easily be put under one spoiler, and is a fizzly ending to an informative guide. Go out with a bang by summarizing everything in a paragraph or two at the end!

Hope this feedback helps, and good luck on the Rift!

You're guide is pretty useful thx.
still I disagree about Ardent Censer...
perso I rush it first for the AS buff
20%-35% AS and on-hit 20-35 health drain for 6sec.
that'S pretty useful early in game... Redemption as you mentionned is more easy to land with his ULT.
Redemption is more useful in group fight later then early.
Also, I tested it and Both Redemption and Locket of the Solari trigger Ardent senser buff aswell; so having ardent censer early will just buff up your redemption in later game to buff AS and health drain of your whole team.
Face of the mountain shield trigger Ardent senser buff aswell btw.
and if you go the line of ardent censer, redemption, locket of iron solari,,, you better take the ruby sightstone to reduce all those item CD; so taking Frostqueen instead of the Eye and getting another item activation reduced by the sightstone.
I am still wondering if it would be of anyuse to goface of the mountain for Bard as for Thresh... not getting the execute but still sharing the minions kills and the shields might be of better use than the 2ghost of the frostqueen.

note the ARdent censer will trigger on all your alter so your ADC can just take each of your altar as soon as the buff runs out so he get it for almost 20 sec.... a early adc can pretty so just saying... 20health drain on hit 1 hit per seconds average...400 health drain add to that the healing of your alter which isnt that great early in game and doesn'T scale so good with AP... but ardent censer like redemption increase by 10% your healing ... and both stack so. the 40+25/target lvl healing of redemption seam pretty useless early in game and require your presence... ardent censer is effective on your altar while you roam... so just leave 3 altar for your adc and make sure he is aware of that...
the other team migth not and would more likely to try something thinking they are 2v1.. but adc will get healed, AS buff and life drain while your away and might get a kill and you an assist. redemption get more useful midgame imo and the CD is so long to be of any use... what a 100health aoe heal every 2 min vs a 20 lifedrain for 6 seconds whenever you heal!!???
the anser is pretty obvious to me, unless I am missing some points... I ain't playing ranking, I am just a nobody after all.

I don't even play ranked but this guide helped me reach an S on my second game as this guy. Thanks!

Hey bro really nice guide you got here. Even though I'm a Bard main i always aim to improve and this guide gives some pointers which I start to utilize in my gameplay. One thing that I use to win most teamfights with Bard is simply when the fight breaks out you Ult their ADC/APC and explode the rest of the team, then just lock them up with Q and its done. I can't even count the number of times this tactic has won me the game. Anyhow I digress :b Great guide and keep up the good work :)
