bard as jungle
Asked by Cebreeze on March 14, 2016
Hey so im looking to try to play some different champs in the jungle. im just curious is bard would be viable in jungle? Personally i cant see why he wouldnt but im still kinda new to the game and would prefere to get some advice on the topic.
If you want to know why he's not "meta" as a jungler:
- Bad early clear. It's hard get to level 3 on your first jungle rotation with Bard and even if you can, chances are you won't be surviving any invade that could happen (and invades will happen if you're jungle Bard).
- Little damage on a squishy champion. Bard isn't a good tank nor a damage dealer. Some champions will kill you if you gank them and they're smart enough.
- His traits are overshadowed by other junglers. If you want weird gank paths try Lee Sin/ Zac, if you want heavy CC try Nautilus/ Rammus, if you want damage pick any jungler with more than 2 damaging skills and he'll deal more damage than Bard.
