Bard was too easy and you could easily climb. People say it was team-reliant in lower ranks even, but in truth all that was required of the team was to get a target to below 50% from time to time and for you to score the kill while staying in the back. Big brain. Silent Nocturne was so powerful that people believe it's the entire RAISON D'ENTRE for Bards. Now you actually need to think about how to use it if at all.

Weird how people think they should still play Bard the same way when it now comes with so many repercussions that it's no longer always an option. You will just be a crippled old Bard if you don't adapt and learn to play.

It's a new reality folks. Bard is no longer safemode.
