Martin Tóth by this i mean a ult that could interact really wildly for better or worse when bard got previewed everyone started saying league was going to become dota.
honestly, I really like that concept of the resonating wave coming out from the bases and the towers. like it would be a passive wave that comes out every 10or so seconds. every time the wave hits an enemy it silences them. that would add an interesting mechanic to how to entire game works. you'd be aware that the wave is coming, and play around it. maybe have an ability that could resonate the towers and make them produce the same wave. that way you could be much more reactive when you need the silence on command. I could see that providing a healthy gameplay for both teams being able to know when it's happening and work around it.
My favorite thing about Bard, is that his "E" Ability [The Magical Journey] was so mysterious for me at the time he came out. I kept questioning things like : What would happen if Zac died in the portal, what would happen if Anivia died in the portal and etc.
Bard's VO (if you can call it that) and sound effects. They are so soothing, they seem to calm you down. It is almost impossible to be mad while playing him.
Bard is underrated. He can be dangerous if you're good with him. A team just needs to have good follow-up on his stuns and stasis, and his heals if maxed first are POWERFUL early. Manage your chime take-ins well and you'll get even more powerful. NEVER leave your adc unless they are 100% safe. The chimes have a long lifetime, they aren't going anywhere any time soon. You really shouldn't max your q first, it just doesn't become strong enough per level as much as your heal becomes more helpful. You can use those heals to help your teammates follow-up on that stun. And try to poke WHENEVER a meep pops up. They do nice damage to the adc early on and get nab you a kill if you engage properly while they are low. He's my main support, I have an ~80% win rate with him.
I found that Miyazaki thing really interesting. Do you think you could make a video about champions that reference other things with their design? I think it would be really cool to see.
...everything. I love everything about him. Well...I especially love how no one expects his Q to do so much damage and I "accidentally" get the kill while trying to stun or slow an enemy. And his control+2 animation!!
my favorite thing about bard is the ability to do a jump in the dark with the magical journey, combine that with a gnar ult and holy crap stuff just goes balls to the walls so quickly
My best part of Bard is the penguin trapped in ice during his Snow Day Bard skin. In game, I enjoy the sound it makes when a meep spawns. It just sounds so kawaii.
my favorite thing about bard is his snow day skin. it's sooooooooooooooo cute with the penguins. and i also like how he doesn't talk but makes all those sounds.
Kind of figured that Bard was inspired by Miyazaki. My friends and I call him and Kindred the Miyazaki characters. Looks like Aurelion Sol might be part of that group soon.
I really like how bard feels neutral, he isn't supporting his team because he wants to, but to protect the nexus, all of his abilities affect both his team and the other
my favorite thing about bard has to be the ult, shut down an assasin, stall time for allies to come in from an ally being chased or allies to come in during a chase against an enemy and so many more possibilities.
I can imagine an ability with a different effect depending on the beat. Something like Twisted Fate's Pick a card, but it just plays a looping song instead of just the cards shuffling sound
A champion I designed had a global wave ability. It would reveal all enemy champions as it passed them. You could blink past it and khaz, gnar or trist could jump OVER it to avoid being seen but dashes would still be seen. More importantly though the ability would detonate any active lesser cryomines and reactivate any dormant ones. It would also detonate greater cryomine (her untimate) and would have it's cooldown refreshed upon greater cryomine's construction (a 5 second channel in which Friega(silent g) was untargetable but not invinvincible {abilities targeted before the channel started or aoe/well aimed skill shots could still damage her) as she dahsed around the mine madly like a pre-rework fiora ult.) (her kit made azir look simple)
I love getting to the second bot bush at the beginning of the game and double stunning the adc and support when they walk into lane. Not to mention the free thunderlords proc from the meeps.
my favorite thing about bard is that his spells (or 2 of them really) effects both allies and enemies in basically the same way, I think that is nice to have in the game
I actively use bard as a roaming support, by simply following my chimes as they spawn, and ganking lanes if mine is doing ok. By the late game and a move speed build, I can deal out 300 per meep auto attack, and other on hit items. I build Zot Portal, Mobi boots, Ludens, Rapid fire cannon, Archangels, and Dead Mans Plate. I have a base of like 500 move speed boosted up to 800 with chimes.
a good bard is really useful. his ult makes ganking lanes a breeze. his ult makes diving in turrets easier. his e can be used to gank warded lanes, his Q has the possibility of 2 stun in the enemy team, W which has movespeed and can actually help the jungler early lane. im curious about that one ultimate concept though. the one that silence enemies by using the nexus xD sounds epic
Best thing about Bard is that he doesn't care about anything that happens, he just walks around the map collecting chimes, leaving health packs, and making magical journeys
I love Brad. I've played him since his release, and whenever I want to have some fun or just go full mega tryhard, I still love to play him. It's just that I don't get to play him much due to his team-reliance.
My favourite thing about Bard is his ultimate. It really can win the teamfight or mess your team really hard, also his swagwalk, no doubts about it. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
I absolutely love Bard. He's my goto support champion this season. Just remember to always leave 2-3 shrines before leaving your adc. Not recommended for first time supports. I love baiting the enemy team into my magical journey + Q combo. ❤️
I feel like Rito might implement the whole Lay Waste passive for Aurelion Sol, because in the teaser, he creates and detonates a star, knda like what they were saying about lay waste.
I love bard. I just bought him and am in love with his wandering mechanic. I feel like a mystical wanderer going on missions only I understand. His bell sounds are mesmerizing. I am very impressed.
this slow moving wave thing could be an awseome skill.. imagine: 3 puls wave traveling over the map kinda like the E from nautilus ech hit debuffs the champions. either they take more or less dmg from the next puls, so you force the whole team towards or away from you to avoid heavy dmg/stuns/roots maybe let the caster decide if it will be offensive or defensive, and the enemys has to whatch out for the debuff of the first hit global mindgames :D
I wish chimes did more than buff his Meep Empowered AAs. - Increase range of binding - Increase number of targets binding can pass through - Decrease time for shrines to complete - Shrines give bonus % heal based on number of chimes - Shrines give increased move speed to allies - Increase base movement speed (he is supposed roam after all) or my personal favorite - Increased travel speed of Tempered Fate Crazy but plausible idea, gain up to max 15% bonus CDR (total of 60% with Masteries) where every 5 chimes give 0.5% CDR (must get 5 charms, not 1 charm = 0.1% CDR). Just like Kog can break AS barrier then Bard could be the Champion to break CDR.
Favorite thing about my main? Maybe the fact that he can dish out insane amount of damage with only a RoA and 60-65 chimes and catch everybody offguard with it.
I am truly a cosmetic being
***** Yeah, just enter my chimings into google translate.
+Ahmad Abdullah Talk and type are different though :P But Glad to hear google translate can accommodate him!
Ayyy i love you.
+Ahmad Abdullah He talks in Webdings.
Hiiii
Sometimes, I like to just go into a custom game as Bard, put on smooth jazz, and collect as many chimes as possible.
Maybe I'll just go do that now.
im gonna try it
My favorite thing about bard is that he is a "Cosmetic being"
lmao I noticed it too
I love how bard is so flexible, he is equipped with so many tools that even LCS recognized his potential.
Bard the first champion with a Dota ult
+Youmuus Ehh not really, the only one i can think of that comes kind of close is cronosphere but they're not really the same at all.
+Youmuus ?
+purplehive He obviously means the first ult that interacts with everyone no matter friend or enemy
Martin Tóth by this i mean a ult that could interact really wildly for better or worse when bard got previewed everyone started saying league was going to become dota.
+Youmuus But what about karthus?
I like having bard in my team, because he gives enemies a really bard time
*airhorns*
+ZADSAR Whoosh
You know it's like I always say, It's a beautiful day outside. Bards are singing, flowers are blooming. On days like these...
+Theosis10 Bards like you... Should be ulting in hell.
Thebravekitten66
rofl, I love you
"Best ability by far taric ability to change his allies sexuality." XD
honestly, I really like that concept of the resonating wave coming out from the bases and the towers.
like it would be a passive wave that comes out every 10or so seconds. every time the wave hits an enemy it silences them.

If Bard says a bad word on Tv they need to put a Meep on it! Get it?
***** you?
when Bard first came out, a lot of players thought he was garbage, and now he is played in LCS XD. God i love Bard
+Silas Laybourn He is garbage. I'd rather have a trash bag than bard on my team.
Dunkey's Long Lost Son but he has heal stun and is the ganking lord,
and he is so cute XD
Silas Laybourn
Unreliable stun, shitty heal hence his ganks will also suck if the players are half good.
+Silas Laybourn Taric has a better heal, more reliable point and click stun, an aoe armour and damage buff, yet he is still shit...
+Dunkey's Long Lost Son That isn't how you use the word "hence"
My favorite thing about Bard, is that his "E" Ability [The Magical Journey] was so mysterious for me at the time he came out. I kept questioning things like : What would happen if Zac died in the portal, what would happen if Anivia died in the portal and etc.
Favourite thing about bard is dodging his ult with Zhonyas.
Bard is, in my opinion, the most unique champ in league
+Danilo Giorgio probably
And One of the most fun :D
+Danilo Giorgio And in my opinion the most beautiful looking at the design
Because he is a cosmetic being.
Bard's VO (if you can call it that) and sound effects. They are so soothing, they seem to calm you down. It is almost impossible to be mad while playing him.
Bard's emotes and chimes sound fx are amazing
My favorite thing about bard for sure is his Snowday skin - all the effects just make me feel warm and fuzzy inside :)
I love Bard because he is God Tier Troll champion.
Bard is underrated. He can be dangerous if you're good with him. A team just needs to have good follow-up on his stuns and stasis, and his heals if maxed first are POWERFUL early.

He's my main support, I have an ~80% win rate with him.
Teach me the ways
I think this is one of the best series' you've made. I really enjoy this and I cant wait for more!
I love collecting his chimes its like a mini game with the music and he is just flying through the jungle
@5:15 "Cosmetic Being" - Jeremy 2016
You should trademark that one. :D
Main Bard here, I didn't know much about its early concepts, relly enjoyed this one!
I like colecting chimes with Bard, its interesting, and I like his Q and E a lot!
love these league trivia/history videos, good moves, keep it up Jeremy
I found that Miyazaki thing really interesting. Do you think you could make a video about champions that reference other things with their design?
I think it would be really cool to see.
5:15 "Into much more of a cosmetic being."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't cosmetics just makeup?
Yeah I think he meant cosmic lol
i think he meant cosmic
+NBDAnthos yes, it should have been cosmic, not cosmetic
+Luca Tim Behrends i didnt know bard was the new patrickstarrr
The silence wave ability sounds SO COOL
...everything. I love everything about him.
Well...I especially love how no one expects his Q to do so much damage and I "accidentally" get the kill while trying to stun or slow an enemy. And his control+2 animation!!

Your videos have really gone up in quality
Keep up the good work!
Kind of figured that Bard was inspired by Miyazaki. My friends and I call him and Kindred the Miyazaki characters. Looks like Aurelion Sol might be part of that group soon.
I actually really love Bard's voice, he doesn't say anything but the sound of the instruments are lovely!
I really like how bard feels neutral, he isn't supporting his team because he wants to, but to protect the nexus, all of his abilities affect both his team and the other
my favorite thing about bard has to be the ult, shut down an assasin, stall time for allies to come in from an ally being chased or allies to come in during a chase against an enemy and so many more possibilities.
I love the sounds he makes, all the music is soothing.
Best thing about bard is the voiceover. Sounds so peaceful, and I can't get on tilt as Bard.
I can imagine an ability with a different effect depending on the beat. Something like Twisted Fate's Pick a card, but it just plays a looping song instead of just the cards shuffling sound
A champion I designed had a global wave ability. It would reveal all enemy champions as it passed them.

(her kit made azir look simple)
I'm sure these videos take a lot of research, I appreciate your efford.
Thanks Jeremy.
Your Videos are so great, I really appreciate everything you do!
more please!
Favourite thing is becoming a cuddly penguin within his Magical Journey, when using the Snow day Skin
Wow, Bard's initial concept really sounds cool. I really hope they make a champion with the theme of timing and music in the near future!
The simple fact that you could compose an entire song, melody and all, using nothing but his sounds is my favorite
I love getting to the second bot bush at the beginning of the game and double stunning the adc and support when they walk into lane. Not to mention the free thunderlords proc from the meeps.
my favorite thing about bard is that his spells (or 2 of them really) effects both allies and enemies in basically the same way, I think that is nice to have in the game
I like the music you get as you collect multiple chimes at once.
Dis you mean cosmetic or cosmic?
Bard doesn't say anything himself, but his meeps whisper random words when they spawn :D
+Tomás Alvim i knew this was gonna be top comment :D
He won't reply , what a puss
Bard is a skincare professional.
Dermatologists hate him
playing bard is so chill you just like sit there and listen to chimes while you push q and just run around the map
I love that Bard just runs and goes through walls and stuns you as you enter his portal
Snow Day Bards E - It turns everyone into a penguin.
That 34/1 Cho'Gath is far less scary when he's a penguin.
I actively use bard as a roaming support, by simply following my chimes as they spawn, and ganking lanes if mine is doing ok. By the late game and a move speed build, I can deal out 300 per meep auto attack, and other on hit items. I build Zot Portal, Mobi boots, Ludens, Rapid fire cannon, Archangels, and Dead Mans Plate. I have a base of like 500 move speed boosted up to 800 with chimes.
He never skips leg days. balancing while running on stilts is awesome.
a good bard is really useful. his ult makes ganking lanes a breeze. his ult makes diving in turrets easier. his e can be used to gank warded lanes, his Q has the possibility of 2 stun in the enemy team, W which has movespeed and can actually help the jungler early lane.
im curious about that one ultimate concept though. the one that silence enemies by using the nexus xD sounds epic
My favorite about Bard is when i play him I can never rage at anything because he is just damn fun to play.
This new intro is soooo much better :D Keep up the good work! :D
I love that Bard is a "cosmetic" being. It makes me feel fabulos while playing him
The best thing about Bard is how much everyone underestimates him, and subsequently how salty they get when they lose to him
The melodic sound every time you get a chime.😌
I sometimes imagine a conversation between Bard and Io ( from dota 2), very musical stuff there,
Favorite thing about Bard?
"Just look at all the penguins! They're so cute! He can't hold that mug with his flippers"
You and gold bay always interest me with these kinda videos keep it up man!
Now I really want an assassin style support to release
Best thing about Bard is that he doesn't care about anything that happens, he just walks around the map collecting chimes, leaving health packs, and making magical journeys
☆go1☯ ☆go1☯ ☆go1☯ ☆go1☯ No, but I've seen it and it looks super fun
His teaser was great! The sound of the meeps is awesome too.
I used to play the bassoon, and hearing that in game would've made me happy.
I love Brad. I've played him since his release, and whenever I want to have some fun or just go full mega tryhard, I still love to play him. It's just that I don't get to play him much due to his team-reliance.
I really like this series!
please do more!
Fav thing is that his cute little meeps, especially in his Snowdown skin. :3
My favourite thing about Bard is his ultimate. It really can win the teamfight or mess your team really hard, also his swagwalk, no doubts about it. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
I absolutely love Bard. He's my goto support champion this season. Just remember to always leave 2-3 shrines before leaving your adc. Not recommended for first time supports. I love baiting the enemy team into my magical journey + Q combo. ❤️
My favorite thing about Bard is getting to become a penguin with his snow day magical journey
Oh, your new outro sounds/looks pretty nice =)
I feel like Rito might implement the whole Lay Waste passive for Aurelion Sol, because in the teaser, he creates and detonates a star, knda like what they were saying about lay waste.
Really like the video man, pls do more of these!!
My friend's (a Bard main) add support hard where he goes support and takes our adc's vs and carries games. Good fun!
I love bard. I just bought him and am in love with his wandering mechanic. I feel like a mystical wanderer going on missions only I understand. His bell sounds are mesmerizing. I am very impressed.
Play Bard when you are high. Best experience ever
+iJimjerk oh I'll bet! I feel high just listening to him
Everything is perfect with Bard. Can't wait for Rabid Llama's next champion, Aurelion Sol!
this slow moving wave thing could be an awseome skill..
imagine: 3 puls wave traveling over the map kinda like the E from nautilus
ech hit debuffs the champions. either they take more or less dmg from the next puls, so you force the whole team towards or away from you to avoid heavy dmg/stuns/roots
maybe let the caster decide if it will be offensive or defensive, and the enemys has to whatch out for the debuff of the first hit
global mindgames :D
I love how you can become a penguin during magical journey in Bard's Winter Skin
I wish chimes did more than buff his Meep Empowered AAs.
- Increase range of binding
- Increase number of targets binding can pass through
- Decrease time for shrines to complete
- Shrines give bonus % heal based on number of chimes
- Shrines give increased move speed to allies
- Increase base movement speed (he is supposed roam after all)
or my personal favorite
- Increased travel speed of Tempered Fate
Crazy but plausible idea, gain up to max 15% bonus CDR (total of 60% with Masteries) where every 5 chimes give 0.5% CDR (must get 5 charms, not 1 charm = 0.1% CDR). Just like Kog can break AS barrier then Bard could be the Champion to break CDR.
I really enjoy this series!
Im just happy that Bard is unique, like REALLY unique. That's what makes him so amazing.
Make a video about: Top 10 feared champions to play against. tell us why they are feared and what a good player could do with that champion :D
I love is early game damage as well as how unique his kit just is.
I just love how bard always seems to leave to get chimes right as we get ganked, so I die and he lives. That's my favorite thing about bard.
DAT STRASBOURG ST DENIS OUTRO! Love roy hargrove
Bard's magical journey because its magical.
Favorite thing about my main? Maybe the fact that he can dish out insane amount of damage with only a RoA and 60-65 chimes and catch everybody offguard with it.
really enjoying these videos, just watched the kindred one! keep it up :D
I loved bard teaser video, i think that's the coolest one yet.
the concept of bard, best part, I would say other things, but I haven't played him yet
I'm still hoping for a Jazz bard skin, it would be sweet to see him 'noodle' some saxophone music and have jazz music play over like DJ sonas.
3:00 3 charge skill shot stun. We love 3's. Just like Vayne and Gnar.
+xDPrismshotxD We love 4.
The best thing about Bard is his ult, I always feel like a god, deciding who dies and who lives :)
Bard's magical journey is a reference to musicians before they go on stage to preform.
my favourite thing about bard is how he makes cute sounds and how he can take everyone on a magical journey ^-^
i really enjoyed the video, would love to see more of these :D
Beest thing about Bard? Wull, ofc his cute snow day skin!
