Well yes late game he is devestation and his damage with meeps is quite high but I can't imagine Bard having much of a laning phase. I just don't see how it would work. He is relatively mana heavy. His Q and passive are his only damage tools and early they're cooldowns are quite high. His passive needs a few chimes before it deals AoE damage so his lane will always be pushed so less roaming. How exactly would he collect his chimes? Would he just leave the lane alone? A lane that's probably pushed? He might have sustain in lane but that's about it. The only thing u mentioned about his laning phase is him being able to reach level 2 on the first minion wave. Which in a champion like bard doesn't make much of a difference. I've never tried it so you could prove me wrong but if it worked for you how did you do it and what did you do?
