Bard, the roaming support champion in League of Legends, is set to receive a series of exciting changes that will further enhance his playstyle. Riot Games has announced updates to Bard’s passive and W ability, focusing on increasing his movement speed and providing more healing options for his AD carry.
The changes, shared by Rioter Maxwell “Yelough” Perlman on August 29, aim to improve Bard’s overall gameplay experience. The duration of Bard’s passive will be extended from five to ten stacks, lasting for a full 20 seconds. Additionally, his ability, Caretaker’s Shrine, will start with two charges but have a longer cooldown. The ability will also charge up more quickly and feature AP scaling ratios, making it more effective with AP builds.
These adjustments will encourage Bard players to embrace their roaming playstyle even more, allowing them to collect chimes and provide support across the map. It is recommended for Bard mains to choose an AD carry who can handle themselves during the laning phase, such as Ezreal, Lucian, or even AP carries like Ziggs, Karthus, and Seraphine.
Overall, these changes will make Bard a formidable roaming machine, enhancing his fantasy as a second jungler and providing more opportunities for impactful plays. Players can look forward to a more rewarding and satisfying experience when playing Bard in the upcoming update.
