Repelling Shot is perfectly fine, it has 10 yalms range so you can end up up to 20 yalms away, plus with bind on target all it takes is two steps to be in range for full damage. If the leap was 15 yalms you'd easily be out of range if you used it on stragglers running away after a team fight, 10 yalms jump is fine.
As long as you have line of sight being the iterative part there. And yeah the range on it is fantastic but if, for instance, you're playing on the map with the tornados/knock up and you're fighting on a checkpoint - good luck using LB without putting yourself in the thick of it lol. Premise is that when Bard's LB is most needed is when it's often the most dangerous to use. Though in retrospect that seems to apply for a lot of its kit.

And Repelling Shot is fine. Not great, but it's fine. Using it on stragglers running away requires you to have to sprint closer toward them than you would to deal damage so you have to make the choice of: "Do I get this bind for a few seconds" or "Do I get two whole arse GCDs worth of damage in while at the prescribed range for max damage". Ain't the best.
