All right, so we can safely assume that Bard is not affiliated with any city state. While he seems vaguely Ionian in philosophy, he seems more similar to Kayle than anyone else, and can easily fit any city state except for the more nefarious ones.

To be totally honest, he looks like a peaceful version of how we've been incorporating AAtrox


When shit hits the fan, he's there to balance things out

What a unique and cool champ concept. I really like him already. That passive is creative as all hell, and I'm getting a bit of a DOTA vibe from his Q and R, being similar to Windrunner's Shackleshot and Void's Chronosphere, respectively. Those are both fun spells to use in that game, but it's something very new for League and I'm excited to try him.

My main worry is that he will recieve even less lore than Gnar got.

He has great possibility though with how he could be relegated to Jax (both have masks they never take off and arn't exactly humans). He could also easily be used in factions as he comes out when the world lacks balance.

Get used to little to no lore.

Personally my beef with Bard is that he seems to be focused mainly on the preservation of relics. His entire shtick is travelling and finding noteworthy places to preserve and draw power from. He opens passages and creates shrines, he holds things in stasis and gains power from special sites. He doesn't seem to care about balance all that much. I think we need to introduce some sort of world-changing relic in the next arc for Bard to sign up for the League in order to preserve. Could be something to do with Shurima or it could be a resurgence of an old arc, like Hextech revolution or Mirrorwater.

I wish i could copy paste the entire convo i'm having with my buddy via text, but that would be tedious. Suffice it to say, AOE ZHONYAS ULT WHAAAAAAAAAAAT. THAT WORKS ON MONSTERS AND TOWERS WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.
His response "You vlad bro?"
Mine - "He's a support/jungle champ. I'm not mad, but they're about to be."
Told him to brush up on his ADC play - I'm buying him day 1, and I'mma tear up ranked.
Haven't been this hyped for a champ since....
Maybe Jinx? Not sure if I've been this hyped for a champ before. He just looks so damn fun.

I reserve the right to be loudly opinionated on subjects I am completely ignorant of

XD, rinsujo. My exact reaction to that ult was, "FREE ZHONYAS FOR EVERYTHING!" He must go around saying, "...You get a Zhonyas, and you get a zhonyas, and you get a zhonyas..."

The idea of a Bard ult on top of a Galio ult, even if the bard is on the same team as Galio, just makes me cry :'(

Anyway he looks kinda neat, but I'm personally disappointed with how little damage he seems to have. Waiting to see what his numbers are.
His e is neat, though. w has potential if it has good scaling.

PS Soraka is still the stronger Karthus counter.

His ult probably also interrupts channels and would be best used interrupting aoe wombo comps, like Rumble/Fiddles/Katarina/Jarvan etc

Clearly what we need to do, for science, is to have him ult a Lissandra, who will follow it up with self+ult and zhonya's, and we'll have finally reached a point where it's feasible for a champion to become completely invulnerable and useless throughout an entire teamfight.

The secret to Bard's power is all the Zhonya's he stole from the shopkeepers. The meeps are little creatures made out of the magical sand.

The troll potential with Bard is so real. Better than Kalista. This will be so fun :D


Oh hey, friendly Lee hopped over a jungle wall to barely escape and live with 2 hp?

Its k enemies, you can now go through walls also, here's a portal tunnel.


Oh Cait, are you gonna ult the 100 hp Jinx? Lol nope, have a Zhonyas.


I also feel like he can run the role of "Ambulance Soraka," since he's encouraged to roam so much.

In addition, he should be able to freeze friendly turrets, for balance reasons.

Oh also, as far as his alignment, he definitely seems like an inverse Aatrox.
As a caretaker of peace and the balance of the world, I imagine he'd help out the faction that is weakest in the story. Sort of like a stereotypical Druid that always switches sides to the underdog.

Where are you guys getting the balance thing from? It's nowhere near in his lore or abilities. He is, fundamentally, two things: a traveller and a preserver. He wanders the multiverse seeking relics and preserving them, he couldn't care less about balance or underdogs.
