Tips Against Bard as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Kogami123 says “Early Game (Laning Phase) ✅ Bard is fragile in early and can be punished by an all-in with E + Q. ✅ If Bard wanders off to collect chimes, take the opportunity to assault the ADC. ⚠ His poke with auto-attacks and Q can be troublesome, so avoid taking too much free damage. ⚠ His E - Magical Travel gives him great mobility, he can easily flee a bad trade. Mid-Game (Roaming and Skirmishes) ✅ Bard will be roaming a lot, use this time to put pressure on his ADC. ✅ You roam well too, try to influence the mid with your E + R. ⚠ His R - Tempered Fate can totally negate your engage or setup a trap. ⚠ Don't blindly pursue him in his E, he can isolate and punish you. Late-Game (Teamfights & Objectives) ✅ Your R is more reliable than his R: if Bard misses, you can engage immediately. ✅ If Bard is badly positioned, you can catch him easily and remove a key element from the teamfight. ⚠ His control in teamfight can be a problem, so don't stay too bunched up to avoid a good AOE stun. ⚠ Its R can stop one of your key engages, so be patient before committing.”

ShriekingMammoth says “For the most part, Shen loses versus Bard as he outroams Shen by defualt and scales much better as Bard is a scaling support. The only way to gain a lead is to punish his roams or beat him early. The plus side is that Bard is not picked a lot in lower elos and he is not an easy champ to play so enemy is required to perform.”

Zileanaire says “Skill matchup. Bard one tricks are as rare as Zilean one tricks. Bard can and will be on the map more than you, he has to in order to stack his passive. Try to take advantage of the 2v1 or try to counter roam. I once asked the rank 1 world Bard player (Lathyrus) on stream what he thought of Bard vs Zilean and his answer was basically as I described. So there you go. A few well placed deep wards should help keep track of his movements. ”

ShoDesu says “Zyra is good into bard in lane but can get ulted off CD in the mid/late game.”
IGMorgane says “Poke him as much as you can to force him to stay in lane. He's more a threat for your team than for you,, so keep an eye on him. ”
Kalakaua says “Bard is very very annoying to play against, he can roam very efficiently, can poke and stun plenty, but his heals are minimal and needs a LOT of time to scale well with his passive. As a single helper does just enough but has a very easy time helping all lanes if he wants to.”

Pykings says “Avoid hugging waves/walls/allies so you don't get stunned. Be mindful when chasing him into a portal. Save your E to dodge his R when he's chasing you. Pyke is just a more impactful roamer than bard so if you're the better player you'll get a free win. With that being said; play around vision, tempo, and objectives.”

mUI0g says “Bard might seem like a low threat, but once he hits 6 his ult becomes lethal for catching low mobility champions like Xerath. He can also avoid your lane phase poke by roaming and ganking with his jungle.”

ZedAway says “u out range him with his poke, only problem is not in lane rather outside of the lane, he roams a lot and gank other lanes, u have to keep up with that, in this matchup i prefer using the second leveling up method and roam and counter gank as well. (care: he has perfect gank setup).”
