Just be careful at his level 1-6 and keep in mind that you have an advantage at level 1-2, so after his 6 you just outscale him.
Amumu
Ult when you see him ulting in fights and tank his Q's so your ADC doesn't die in lane.
Ashe
A little annoying at first, but after level 6, just ult her and she'll just be dead.
Blitzcrank
Just flash his hook and play safe with your adc, just try to roam when necessary and just force plays on him when your jungler is around to help you guys.
Brand
Very annoying in lane, but just try your best not to die as you out roam and outscale him.
Braum
He will try to bait your Q stun using his E, then wait for him to spend this skill to try to stun you or his ADC.
Galio
Be careful with his engage, it's very strong, and can cause you problems if you don't flash it or stun him.
Janna
Hard lane phase cause of her high range and she is very fast, so it´s hard to chase her, try to auto her with meeps before Q or ult her.
Karma
She is just better in the lane phase, teamfights and outscale you, just try to punish her when her skills are on cooldown.
Leona
Just try to stun her when she engage you and try to ult her so you and your team can try to kill her or her ADC in the lane.
Lulu
She deals more damage than you and can scale as effectively as you, or even better depending on her team composition. Focus on managing cooldowns and vision, and wait until you hit level 6 before committing to aggressive plays. She won’t be able to escape without using her Flash, so make sure to follow up with a stun after using your ultimate to eliminate her quickly. This prevents her from using her E and R abilities, which can significantly delay the fight and often lead to a loss if she manages to use them.
Maokai
The difficulty of the matchup largely depends on how well you know how to play against Maokai. Maokai is considered strong against Bard due to his superior objective control and slightly better laning phase. However, there are strategies to counter him. You can bait out his W ability and then use your portal to transport him into your turret range. After that, use your stun quickly—he will either be eliminated or forced to use his Flash.
Morgana
If Morgana plays wisely, she will prioritize maximizing her spell shield first, making the match more challenging. Fortunately, many Morgana players don't do this and instead max out her Q ability. The Bard's Q counts as two separate spells; If Bard's Q damage breaks the shield and hits a wall, minion, or champion, the stun will still be applied.
Nami
During the early game, Nami's laning phase can be quite irritating as her trading pattern can outmatch yours. However, once you reach level 6, you should begin to apply constant pressure with your ultimate. Nami won't be able to keep up with your roams, and you will outscale her over time.
Nautilus
Facing Nautilus can be intimidating, as getting caught by him often means a quick death. However, with the right approach, you can gain the upper hand. Position yourself within the minion wave to make it difficult for him to land his hook, and always stay near a wall. This positioning allows you to use your E ability effectively to either peel for yourself or protect your ADC.
Pyke
This matchup is skill-dependent, but you have the advantage as you outscale Pyke. Even if you end up going even or slightly behind in the early game, it won’t be a significant issue. Pyke struggles in teamfights compared to Bard, so your late-game presence will be stronger.
