@Shaw Fujikawa Whether Frost Queen's is better than Talisman depends on two things: how chime-spawning is determined (i.e. where they tend to appear mosty commonly) and how Bard times his visits into various lanes. From what we know currently I can easily imagine a scenario like this: starting with Ancient Coin, Bard leaves bot lane to pick up chimes, stops by mid lane to drop off a health shrine or two, while staying just long enough to watch his midlaner clear the wave (assuming it's a mage, they tend to have the most efficient waveclear). Bard continues onto top along with jungler to assist in ganking - assuming the gank is successful, he stays long enough to push the lane to the enemy tower, drops a health pack, then turns around and heads back toward midlane, essentially repeating the process. Also worth noting is that while Frost Queen's will generally be easier to generate gold from early game, its effectiveness will probably be outstripped by Talisman come mid game, since there will generally be less poking/skirmishes and much more teamfighting and lane defence/pushing, as well as the utility from Talisman's active having less restrictions than Righteous Glory. Only time will tell, I suppose.
