His stats are a mixed bag, really.

Bard's attack damage is 2nd lowest in the game at level 1 and 5th lowest at level 18. His attack speed is tied for 4th lowest at level 18. Also, as a ranged champion he has below average range.

However, Bard's health is above average at all levels for a ranged champion (especially a ranged support). His armor growth is excellent (tied for best in game). Also, he has a large mana pool.

Taken all together, his base stats say he has good tankiness for a ranged character but only average tankiness overall. His auto-attack DPS is among the lowest in the game. Everything else about his stats is very average for a ranged support, including his health and mana regen and his movespeed.
