How to counter Bard
Bard is a roaming utility support who lives off moving around the map collecting chimes and hunting picks with his Q (which stuns when it pushes you into a wall) and his stasis ultimate. Because he spends so much time away from lane, he gets punished by supports that exploit his absences, win trades when he is present, or block his engage.
- Thresh — He out-ranges Bard with his own hook and out-utilities him — a higher-impact support that wins the pick duels.
