For me, it's more the fact the power of the Traveler's Call is based on game time instead of champion level. We are used to a champion's power curve being based on their level, so this  aspect certainly adds to his difficulty, as it is something we don't see often.

I believe Emptylord suggested that the number of chimes that spawn increases to 3/4/5 at levels 6/11/16, when Bard levels his ultimate. That way he can reach higher numbers of chimes in a shorter time, which would be great to see and would incentivize more roaming as there are more chimes around. But again, it's based on when he gets to those levels, but at least he can influence chime spawning that way.

It would be nice to see less of the non-linear and convoluted power curve associated with his passive, but I can't see a way that could happen without totally overhauling the ability. They would have to balance the benefits he recieves from grabbing the chimes, as well as when/where the chimes spawn and/or how many chimes spawn at a time. And some of those changes would most likely have to be based on Bard's level as opposed to how many chimes he has (which is based on game time) because of how those two power curves differ so significantly.
