He was always fine. He just took a while for people to get the hang of. Bard's one of the few champions where bad use of your abilities can actually punish you beyond just "you messed it up, now it's on cooldown". Bad Es potentially get you and your teammates killed. Bad Rs... well, I'm sure you've seen them. I've seen one instance of Bard stasising enemies in his allied Fiddlesticks ult, saving all their lives. But on the flipside, if you can use all of Bard's abilities well then he's really good. The buffs do make him a bit less dependent on completely airtight play though.
