In general I don't think his kit is too bad I'd like to see some change on the passive though it seems like you can never end a game with more than 100chimes. Other than that I kind of like his kit but it's his ultimate that I find awkward. And I've a few questions on it:

1) Does his ult alone give assists?

2) I know it's a general rule to max your ultimate as soon as possible but is it actually worth it with Bard? It gains no additional effects if you rank it up only the CD is lower.

3) Does his ult take longer to land the further it travels? (Like Soraka's Q)

A change I would give to the ult is rather than throwing the energy, Bard marks an area on the ground. Allies, and monsters are instantly put in stasis while it has a small delay for enemies before they're put in stasis. This way Bard can actually use his ult to protect an ally from a deadly blow, because right now it has too much of a delay to block the likes of Caitlyn's ultimate. At the same time the delay on enemies means that they have a chance of dodging his ultimate and won't be instantly stunned for 2.5 seconds.
