In League of Legends, players explore a fresh concept with the new champion “Bard”, a supporter who is supposed to roam between the lanes.
There is a new champion in League of Legends. He is not just the next AD carry or the next jungler rearranging known abilities, but could be a game-changer. “Bard” is a supporter who shouldn’t be stuck on the Bot lane for most of the game, but is rewarded for roaming, meaning he also checks in on other lanes.
Additionally, there is a passive game mechanic that grants him a speed boost, mana, and some EXP when he collects bells. He also gathers “Meeps” around him, small spirits that follow him and significantly increase damage with auto-attacks. With the “Shrine of the Protector”, he can drop care packages for his lane partner when he goes to roam himself.
His Q has ganking potential, and his ultimate can cover his team’s retreat. Particularly interesting: With the “E”, he opens a tunnel that allows passage to the other side of otherwise insurmountable obstacles. The tunnel remains open for a while, during which friends as well as foes can follow.
More about Bard can be found on the Riot site.
