This is indeed a very helpful mechanic that people sleep on. It's especially useful when you want to help allies disengage from a distance, and I've used it to save quite a few teammates that were smart enough to hug a wall that I could throw a portal into. You can also do some mind games with it. Just don't use it when you're ganking from fog. If you need the surprise factor, then it's better to wait until you're near the wall, so you can enter instantly.

while that interaction works that way, if a sivir or nocturne cast their shield after the dmg but before they get stunned, they will be able to block the CC. so with a single instance spellshield, you can only block either the dmg, or the cc, not both. an enemy bard learned this the hardest way, when my malzahar passive came up in between both instances. he was fuming :D I have confused many ppl with that when playing nocturne vs bard as well
@@privatjetconnaisseur Honestly, of you can time it that well then you more than deserve to nullify the Q-stun. Most people who _can_ react quick enough just from seeing the Q cast, panic shield themselves immediately or do so by predicting the Q.
Just as a note, the W bug is pretty old, and is also known by Riot, just not fixed cause of the low playrate of Bard. However if people report you for using it, it is technically considered as bug abuse, and thus can get your account banned. So doing it in your ranked games is very much not advised, cause again it is a bug, and abusing it can just get you banned.
Okay, i've got more than a million point on Bard, and usually, when i see those guides for "tricks" i've already figured out all of the things that are shown. But this trick at 5:30, i didnt knew about it. Thanks for that boss
You can be stunned in bard's portal and it gets you out of it. If Cassiopeia's w is under the start of the portal you will not be able to take it as it is considered dashing. Zhonya is not really a counter but you can buy it even you play Bard and use it on yourself just after using you R on yourself. If someone is chasing you and is close to you, you can use your R on yourself and flash just before it reaches you. I'm playing Bard since he's out and I didn't even know about W's bug this is quite funny lol.
they zhonya interaction has some edge cases just like enter E from right/left side every 500 games. if you go into stasis 1 or 1.5 secs before enemies aroudn you and therefor leave or cast abilities prior to your enemies, (just imagine veigar here, your enemies are already stunned by an already casted cage and get W Q on top of them + all the spells from your team. Or u might be in the end of a root (morg Q) bard ult arriving, and u zhonya at the start of the the animation, which can get u running and dashing away (or in) earlier. this entire channel exists for those edge cases, its tricks u dont know about (because they probably arent THAT usefull in every game) but if a main/OTP has 20 of those tricks perfected, they might use one every few games or some minor tricks every single game, heavily depending on the champ.
With Anathema's Chains, you can Q - R - Q for a 7.3 second stun. Vengence passive proc on Stun, and R does both Stun and Stasis. Anathema's Chains can be useful if you're up against someone slippery like Fizz, who can easily escape from your normal ult due to low cool down escapes. Stasis will still be 2.5, but due to vengence, they'll be stunned for longer. Anathema will extend the duration of your stun if you're within 700 range when it hits, guaranteeing that you'll Q them when they exit Stasis. For equivilant range, see Frozen Heart's range.
If u buy a zhonia and someone is very close to you, u can r yourself and the enemy and at the same time spam the zhonia just after the r. It allows u to get free few seconds before the enemy, this time is usefull to portal before that the enemy get unstase
If bard Qs a morgana with black shield and the q damage destroys the black shield and then hits a wall then he stuns her but if she still has a black shield after the q hits something then she doesn't get stunned
It's because technically he stun only applies when you hit the wall so these shenanigans doesn't work, like the Q that stuns sivir even hen she flashes with an E First cuz she already has been "marked" when hit once so when it hit the wall it will mark again and stun her Second because the first Q was affected by her so she was marked and hen it hits the wall it mark the tho and stun they
I have a mighty need to take smite on Bard now I thought I was good at stealing drakes with him before, this will just crack my objective control game wide open
As a Bard main.....I spent an hour practicing that portal to/from alcove. It's EXTREMELY PRECISE. it takes a bunch of time to set up and I can't really guarantee I can use it going TO the alcove reliably. Any tips on that portal specifically?
I got it down after about 2 mins you just gotta click the red circle area at start and then aim at the torch in the alcove and should get it every time
As a bard onetrick i know most of this but still somethings were new to me , another tip is that u can buffer the magical jorney wich makes u take the portal faster if u flash into it ! :D
You can ult yourself and before the ult reaches e out (while hitting yourself). It is very precise, but with practice it is easy to do. It isn't very useful but damn the style points are worth it
might be wrong but it seems w can't be used twice anymore. Do you have a keyboard with no-key-roll-over or antighosting? most modern gaming keyboards have those.
Nope, darius doesn't have a brain so you don't need to worry, just buy a tear and spam your skills like you've always been doing (this is a joke okay!)
His entire kit is reliant on landing qs (double stuns to be effective), and his r is one of the few abilities that can fuck your team over. The travel time of it requires lots of practice to get a good grasp of. Obviously bard is high skill, so many champs are way more mechanically forgiving.

Another quick tip people don't realize - you can cast Bard's E from further away, no need to stay right next to a wall!

To which bard replied 🎵🎶😈🎶
She says it if she blocked an ability

Imagine dying to Bards' R damage
I killed someone with my R as Bard doing 30 dmg xD Imagine how surprised it was 4me 4 the 1st time ;D
That Q - R - Q combo at the end.... I imagine morgana saying, look at what they have to do to mimic a fraction of my power.
Well I do actually spend R like any Stun ability haha, doesn't matter if have x10 cooldown time 😂
a bard guide isn't complete without mentioning the one inch portal
I was gonna do a joke with the one inch punch (why say punch 2 times me?) in portuguese missliading brazilian portuguese but forgot it was in english
works like a CC when everyone around has an urge to use it atleast 10 times

You can block the stun with spell shield, if you do it After the initial hit
2:35 what if Sivir casts e after the q hit her but before it hits the wall
she will get the damage but not get stunned
she basically can decide to either deny the stun or the damage
she can deny both if the q hits something else first and she is the 2nd target
@@brandonlgl well yes as the 2nd target ofc
Your videos are always impressive Hoompty. Thank you
🤝
Also in bard's R mundo continue healing with the R and Vlad too
In zhonias too, because self regen doesn't need to choose someone and you don't need to do it while in zhonias/Bard's ult
If bard Qs a morgana with black shield and the q damage destroys the black shield and then hits a wall then he stuns her but if she still has a black shield after the q hits something then she doesn't get stunned
It's because technically he stun only applies when you hit the wall so these shenanigans doesn't work, like the Q that stuns sivir even hen she flashes with an E
First cuz she already has been "marked" when hit once so when it hit the wall it will mark again and stun her
Second because the first Q was affected by her so she was marked and hen it hits the wall it mark the tho and stun they
So a sivir to not be stunned by bard with her E just need to be behind someone and use it
If not she will just gain free mana
@@ericklvf1025 sivir e gives health not mana
So night harvester + dark harvest + collector with his ult is fun

Thanks for the tips!
The one with last hitting tower and portal ult I did not know about!
Almost 3 million bard here, and I still learned something new!
my mind when I have seen this video:
I don't need it!
I don't need it!
I don't need it!
...
I NEED IT!!!
Haha now lets go int some rankeds xD
@@frostinya7 I am Bard main
saw this diagonal q in aram very potent as ppl avoid being in a straight line but that bard always found strange angles and those turning q's
I only didnt knew 2 of them:
The second base portal
That you can ult wards and plants
wowowo i always wondered how bard mechanics worked, thanks for this video
As a bard onetrick i know most of this but still somethings were new to me , another tip is that u can buffer the magical jorney wich makes u take the portal faster if u flash into it ! :D
Wdym?
can you put a w top lane, go bit lane, and have the top laner proc guardian?
Yes, it works
W’a should be all over the map anyway
Oh boy Polypuff is going to have a field day with this
hoompty did u set ur graphics in the game manager because they look really good or did u set them in game?
You can ult yourself and before the ult reaches e out (while hitting yourself). It is very precise, but with practice it is easy to do. It isn't very useful but damn the style points are worth it
Use for Karthus ult, cait, etc. lock on ultimates that need to be blocked with r, yet you also don’t want to just die when stasis immediately ends
Time to dust off the old Bard Jungle
YES
another cool idea u can ult enemy minions when under turrent to make enemy catch turret agro
the alcove to tower portals always seem inconsistent for me. a lot of times it doesn't let me create the portal
Nice work! You do really nice kontent, just keep doin that. I love it!
Tip for the next video: Akshan! 😇
I remember when you couldnt use e in alcove
BARD can kill using ULT with collector
might be wrong but it seems w can't be used twice anymore. Do you have a keyboard with no-key-roll-over or antighosting? most modern gaming keyboards have those.
Could you please tell me the songs you used, they sound really nice and fit bard.
I would love to see a shaco video 🥰
NOT this video making me want to try Night Harvest Bard. That is CRAZY !!!!
2,6m score on this guy, but still learned one new thing
recommended to E Flash and not flash E, will allow you take take portal instantly have flashing to wall
does the w alt w trick still work?
3:45 is that a bug abuse or a combo? :D im afraid to use it in my ranked games qwq
Im proud i knew all of them
I dont get the double W mechanic. Isnt that default (maining bard since yesterday; did they change him?`)
Does the double W(shrine) use twice mana?
Yes, it does
Please, I need tricks in ARAM
cool make some one of trynda tricks like the bushes spin and combos

U can kill by useing r with dark harvest
*happy chime noises*
more tips trick of Lux , pls :))

So i can kill with R using night harvester and a horizon wow
you can even kill people with r if you use the potion that gives you 25 true dmg on every Ability
Did you hade to tell everyone about the clones? u_u 6:00
W into ALT + W is patched out.
do one of rengar pls!!!
Is it me or this W double cast is not working ? I tried everything .. Did riot fix it ?

I hope that the q proc on a spellshield is a bug
Nope, the spellshield stops that Q, but the stun works when the Q hits the wall.
no its not bc Bard Q has 2 procs, dmg and stun. She can decide if she blocks the dmg or the stun.
It matters what side of the tunnel you take…. Why riot?
Leblanc please
Can buff working in Asian?
