Introduction

Hello fellow summoners!

My name is eviltechykid and today you'll be learning how to play the only champion you'll ever need to know how to play.

Bard is a joy to play and learn to play, although it can be taunting to learn. If you enjoy skill shots through walls, and putting those stolen double buffs to work this is the Bard for you.

I will say that I do know what I'm talking about here, M7 Bard, with over 100,000 points.

Pros / Cons

Pros

-Most importantly, you are a floating meme. Bard isn't taken seriously, take advantage of that.
-While he is a great champion, and is often top 10 support champions, he doesn't get played often. People won't know what's coming for them.
-The CC and the Utility! Enough for the whole family!
-Does both AD and AP. No matter what the enemy builds, enemies will pop like a pineapple.
-Ganking and roaming potenial are limitless, just get in there and steal some kills.
-Leaving lane is never an issue if played correctly.

Cons

-You're a thicc champion, that hitbox is huge.
-When you get counter-picked, you are basically done for.
-You're a glass cannon.
-You often steal kills from your ADC, a blessing and a curse.

Game Start

SUPER IMPORTANT
It is essential for any Bard build to start the game perfectly. With a few easy steps. :D

Prepare yourself prior to loading in, you need to buy items real quick and get to lane immediately.
If your jungler goes down the bot lane jungle camp and needs a leash, forget them for a second and just go straight down to your tower until the first 2 chimes spawn on the map.
Once those chimes spawn, collect them as you go to your leash, or if the jungler doesnt need a leash bot lane, just go to your tower and hide in one of the bushes.
There will be 1 more chime that spawns before minions spawn, definitely go for that if you have time as it means you will almost certainly be the first to level 2 in bot lane.
That's it! You're ready to show off your memes to your team!
