Bard’s chimes aren’t quite hitting the right notes right now, especially around his mid-game spike. He’s falling behind where he should be making his biggest impact, so we’re speeding up the charge time on his second ability at higher ranks and lowering the cooldown on his fourth ability, helping him keep the tempo and better support his team when it matters most.
Caretaker's Shrine
- Recharge time reduced from 15 seconds to 15/14.5/14/13.5.
Tempered Fate
- Cooldown reduced from 80/70/60 seconds to 75/65/55.
In Patch 7.0c, we made both numerical and mechanical adjustments to Bard. However, changes to his ultimate ability were not clearly communicated in the patch notes. Thank you to everyone who shared this with us, and we want to apologize for the oversight. We’re sharing the details from the changes in these notes.
Editor's note:
- Patch notes mention changes from V7.0c.
Bard’s early-game pressure was overly strong. His high damage and long basic attack range allowed him to safely harass and zone his foes. So, we’re making some adjustments to ensure his enemies have counterplay opportunities.
