He was sooo good at catching and kiting and position himself for the Q it was Insane. And then there was this time where it was normal to have like 8 meeps following you and you could 1v1 any non-tank easy with their base damage

[@dddmemaybe]

If ya'll look at the base value on meep-autos you'd agree that tank items are for Bard. At 50 chimes it's 160 bonus damage per auto for up to 4 autos in an _aoe that slows._ Even if you aren't going for q or r, Bard would be able to slow someone(s) by 50% for 4 seconds, and deal 640 bonus damage for "free". With 30% ap ratio, you'd need 533 ap to double the damage, and you'd definitely die before getting more than 2 autos off in later game scenarios if built full ap. His attack range is also only 500, and he can get more than 4 charged auto's in the bank if the game goes really long, for more bonus damage per auto too. Bard's entire kit struggles to have even as much ap value as Soraka just pressing R. Bard's E and R have 0 scaling.

Hey! Bard main here! I might be off, but I am fairly certain that Guardian does *not* proc off of Bard's shrine after(key word: *after*) placed. This is because of how the Shrine targeting actually functions and the requirements for proccing Guardian. Guardian only goes off of unit-targeted abilities. The Shrine is treated as unit-targeted only when it is being placed(you may notice a slight snap-to effect when hovering W over a friendly champion). If used in that way, the ally is Guarded as per Guardian. If the shrine is placed and left, it should no longer proc Guardian.

If anyone cares to have a quick lil review from someone who tried opera GX very briefly just because of curiosity here it is in my personal opinion: It looks really nice and has a lot of great features such as the ones advertised but the one thing that I couldn't get over and it ultimately made me change back to chrome is that none of the adblockers worked properly on it. I cant stand ads on youtube and anywhere else for that matter. I tried lots of different adblockers but for some reason the ads kept coming through as if they were whitelisted by the opera adblockers. Sometimes the ad itself was blocked but I still had to click the little "click here to skip ad" button to view the video. Other than that it was in my opinion a good looking and smooth browser however I couldn't have it like this when I know adblockers on chrome works as intended. I may be ignorant and this may in fact be a fixable issue but I couldn't find a solution myself. lol thanks for reading just thought id share real quick

He says that he is a "new player from s7", but then his EU account dates back to S3 (diamond finish which was a high elo back then). Also, he talks about playing Warcraft3 instead of LoL, which was alive up until 2010. Plus Bard was released in S5. I really didn't understand this part.
