I have been a bard main since 1.0. I placed reasonably in upper diamond last season. Last season I felt I was able to help decide when an opponent dies, and to also manage the crystal.

This season I feel as if my damage has been negated, I still occasionally help decide when an opponent dies with silence, but not as often, and I'm struggling to remain on the crystal because I seem to be focused down rather quickly.

I am simply missing something from what I should be doing, or is bard in a bad spot right now?
