Gotta be honest not looking forward to my first adc game where the support locks bard. I've honestly considered potentially banning him if first pick today

If you play ranked, always ban the new champion.
Chances are new champ will feed on your team and carry the other team if picked.

It is a champ release week; banning the new champ in ranked is a fairly standard move.

Bard is so much fun, and holy molly that range you can get with warp portal if you align it straight along some walls.

Wouldn't you be able to bully Irelia without spending much mana though? I'm pretty sure until level at least 3 (and even then if you don't take Apprehend) you can just walk up to her and she'll have to keep her distance because you win the manfight.

I think you're right Alaric; I'm sure if I could more consistently hit my Q's I don't think I would have this problem. Clearly the solution here is to become a better Darius.

Also thanks Slusher for the advice. I'm going to try that out next time the opportunity arises!

My problem with bard from the 2 games I played so far is his e doesn't really have that many uses.

Also if you get unlucky spawns on meeps your w is pretty much impossible to use more than 1/2 times in lane.

Depends on how Tanky or AP focused your comp requires.

Do you think Bami's cinder has viability as a first item before machete, or maybe on top laners? Starting to think it might.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

No, since it costs 1k gold.

So, some Ludens Echo notes.

The patch notes said 60+5 per level, but that's not what it's doing, it's 100+15% AP like it was on PBE.

The AOE has a pretty decent range, prioritizes champions, but other than that appears to be random. Doesn't seem to prioritize minions it will kill over minions it won't.

It procs on Lux passive, which I <3.


Seems pretty strong, although it's probably not for everybody.

You start ruby crystal.

Maybe you don't get it before machete on junglers though. The extra clear speed on your second clear + health probably isn't worth the loss in regen, gold, clear speed on your first clear, and super smite.

Dude, that's an amazing idea.

Lets not start the item that does 15 DPS to jungle camps so we can get the item that does 5 DPS to jungle camps faster.

Yo it was just a proposal. No need to be so toxic about it.

I don't see the health from ruby crystal making up for the health/mana regen and faster clear speed of machete. Machete is designed to get over that early clear hurdle moderately okay and can struggle to hit 600g on 1st back depending on champion so I don't see a flat health buffer doing it. Conceptually of course.

The big question regarding Luden's Echo is whether or not it provides enough wave clear/poke to be a first item on champions who can delay their mana/cdr item.
