Y'know. I think I might just main ADC Bard whenever I want to play a marksman. It just gets so powerful once you hit lategame and Bard is tankier in comparison to other marksmen when running a standard crit build. The only real downside I can think of off the top of my head is his weak early game. His laning phase is fine; he can place health packs down to deal with early poke, it's just getting damage off early in the game is hard.

I rush Tri > IE >BT > PD > PD > Zerks | You really don't need LW since you are doing so much mixed damage in the first place.

Pros: Medium Range, wide utility, excellent roamer, infinitely scales, has burst and DPS, great at catching out, reliable in teamfights, can maneuver thanks to his E, does tons of damage, makes doot noises

Cons: Weak early, has to rely on collecting chimes, Feels rather Feast or famine, easily countered by AD assassins, has no good escape if gets caught, no AD scaling abilities, face looks like a bowling ball, makes doot noises
