You know who else looks great on paper?

Bard.

Champions with utility oriented kits always end up being mediocre at best. Annie has better burst than Vid; Morgana has better utility than Vid; heck, Thresh is just better than Vid. I'm not criticizing the fundamental concept of Vid here, which btw is actually pretty cool, but (s)he is in no way stronger or as strong as the current meta supports. Vid is an utility support with the potential to do tons of damage and also fuck up your entire team with the single press of a button; sounds a lot like Bard if you ask me.
