@JasonWazza You misunderstand me, I wasn't trying to say AP Bard is viable - I actually don't think it is very viable. I was simply referring to his AP scaling on his Q and how it is quite standard for that sort of ability in response to Chevchenko saying "his scalings on Q seem very weak, considered it's his only offensive ability."

AP Lulu is viable because every one of her abilities, including her passive, has AP scaling - this, combined with decent waveclear, good poke, strong shields and other utility allow her to be built AP. Bard only has scaling on his his passive, Q and W, and his passive's AP scaling is really low relative to it's base damages and how often you can proc it. The reason why I even brought up AP Lulu was to point out that Bard's Q isn't individually lacking in AP scaling, simply his kit as a whole is lacking in that sort of scaling.
