There is ONE THING you didn't teach about in this video. If you start the game by pathing bot, your first two chimes will spawn botside and you can then invade. If you start by pathing directly from botside jungle, it can spawn on mid and you potentially just lost a chime to narnia land. Another thing is bonus style. If you zhonyas right after pressing W, it looks like you are waving at your team like the silly goofball bard is and that is cool.
If you have the chance to smite challenge the enemy jungler early on with spellbook, that's more mentally draining on them than a double baron steal. Before 8 minutes, a buff steal is basically a dragon soul's worth of grief to them
another fun gimmick is that if an enemy tries to get executed by a tower and bard uses his ult at the right time (when the tower shot is currently flying towards the enemy) he can ult just the tower and have the execute count as his kill
i started playing bard 2 years ago from u, with spellbook (i even got the token for challenger stealing objectives) i could never thank u enough for the fun i had thank you poly
Hey i'm main bard and i'm learing a lot from this video so thank you a lot for sharing. There is a tech from spellbook you didn't mention which i usually use, that's swap to teleport when enemy jg start moving to other lane to drop herald and using R denied it. I start used this trick recently and it's very good when your team trade early drake for herald or enemy team would have a first turret with herald.
The one inch portal can also be used as a stun : After a teamfight me and an ally played in the enemy bard's portal, Then we both died coz we could not dodge the 1 HP Lux' Lazer.
Also something you can do for style points is to ult on top of you when someone jumps you and flash at the last second leaving them in the golden timeout while you portal out of there.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Q tech when you're using ult on an enemy behind a minion wave. AKA hitting a minion wave + an enemy champ that's behind a bundled up few of minions, and then firing your Q to exactly overlap with the minion in the back so you can stun the champion behind them. I like to call it the Snipe-Tech.
Guys if you didn't know you can actually use w twice in one cast. Bind a key for selfcast. while hovering your mouse on terrain use w and the binded key at the same time.
Idiot me, who doesn't see the gank coming even if he has a red and 3 wards along the river, the tri-bush, the river bush, and even the enemy blue: Wow this W trick is going to save me some wards! And I will be safe in lane for early ganks! So useful! /j (it is actually a great TIP to keep in mind, should the occasion arise)
I wish Bard's chimes showed on the ally's minimaps.... Theyd understand why youre running through river and not just assume youre level 2 roaming because they forget what Bard's passive is.
:o
wtf the chosen one
hax??
so much emotions in this one comment
pog
ur so breedable @@Polypuff
Next, a comprehensive guide to every single portal possible in ARAM.
Surprisingly theres a lot especially when you learn you can portal south wall in the middle of the lane 😮
"Unfortunately I can't cook with both hands" Is an iconic line
Thank you for being an excellent meme-model, poly. I also hate you because I can't quit the game thanks to how fun bard is.

bard, sitting in zhonyas in baron pit like
"do what you must, as i have already won"
this is not a meme....this is a DOCUMENTARY!
My only problem with this guide is that I'm never using more than one active item lol
Funny how literally every OTP plays Bard differently with the same outcome

thank you poly
Ever since the last guide, I've loved going piano bard (spellbook), and I'm not changing a single thing about it.
Now I can troll my rankeds with solid arguments
8:29 honestly this was so poetic it brought tears to my eyes
This made my day so much better, Poly you are awesome
the spellbook guide was GREAT! it really makes sense now
i clicked in thinking it'd be another 2 min meme guide, but its actually 16 MINUTES AND HAS USEFUL INFO!?
Thanks for inspiring me to play Bard again! ^^
Those W stacking placements tho... I see where molypuff got his lineup habits from
7:58 Really sad you didn't go for...
"Sometimes just simple misdirection is enough to get out of a *bard* situation"
the comedic timing is so good

Poly puff has tempered our fate with these awesome guides
Poly i became a bard main because of you and your silly plays, so im very happy to see yet another video to guide my bardy journey
I remember an old guide which Poly once said, "Hit level 3 as bard and wave your ADC goodbye forever"
I remember I started playing bard thanks to the meme guide years back
Glad to see after many years and balance paches that teemo is still a item choice for bard
Just watched the first minute and already lmao. Looking forward for the rest. Thank you mr content creator for saving my day!
"but tbh it's too inconsistent for my taste" killed me xDD
bro just revealed all his secrets
I'm main Bard and I've just discovered that chimes spawn in circle around Bard, wow! :o
Loved your first one when it came out years ago, glad you are succeeding bossman
The one inch portal can also be used as a stun : After a teamfight me and an ally played in the enemy bard's portal, Then we both died coz we could not dodge the 1 HP Lux' Lazer.
I Watch you since a long time ago and you are an absolut exemple for me, as a bard main, funny and skilled, that’s What we asked for
the forbidden knowledge of the Bardo
I don't think I've used spellbook even once in the 3 years I've played, but now I kind of wanna learn how to
Great video
Fun guide, with a mix of 4fun and actual tips, I didn't know you could fake the bard Q direction with emote, gonna farm some "wp"s with that one!
Brooo, the video was too short, I was enjoying it so much :D
Also something you can do for style points is to ult on top of you when someone jumps you and flash at the last second leaving them in the golden timeout while you portal out of there.
What a magical journey of a guide
You're the best, i love your videos and guides, so funny! ❤❤

i have long waited for this moment
Good stuff man. Appreciate you being a spell book enjoyer
I wish I wasn’t so tired, then I could read the text before it disappears
16 minute of poly? I'm blessed today
Feeling like a bard main knowing these
im gonna use this tutorial to play spellbook rakan like a rebel.
Teemo is my favourite item of all time!
Guys if you didn't know you can actually use w twice in one cast. Bind a key for selfcast. while hovering your mouse on terrain use w and the binded key at the same time.
bard be gathering chimes so hard he accidentally grabs Teemo to his inventory (1:28)
This isn't a Bard guide this is a Polypuff guide
16 min video
IT'S THAT WE NEED!
This video is incredible ❤ ! Great work!
Holy shit bois the bard guide is finally here
Cool, i feel inspired to run bard now.
Relevant: You can cancel the w portal entry animation by placing the portal first and then dash to it
For the hitbox part. The hitbox of chaaracters is at their feet not at their upper body. That is why Superteemo was nerfed and they added the circle.
you're a genius, love you
floowed this guide went 1st game with bard got s :)
ty poli
Beautiful guide, thank you~
What ever u upload is a goshdarn meme
Idiot me, who doesn't see the gank coming even if he has a red and 3 wards along the river, the tri-bush, the river bush, and even the enemy blue:

/j (it is actually a great TIP to keep in mind, should the occasion arise)
Didn’t read a single word only listen great video 👍
16 MINUTE VID FROM POLY LESGOOO
ok bard has one of thee strongest level 1's in the game.
this is actually a very good guide, what is happening
its beautiful
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and memes OoO
I wish they made bard's chime spawn at more regular intervals so I could be more certain of when it will spawn and despawn
I wish Bard's chimes showed on the ally's minimaps.... Theyd understand why youre running through river and not just assume youre level 2 roaming because they forget what Bard's passive is.
let's go polypuff bardo guide!!!
Legit...
Bard/Zyra W are the best scouting abilities in the game.
I'm telling you bro, building teemo last item is pretty good since you've already scaled
Beautiful
polypuff most poggypuff. hugest brain behavior. i hoep to one day reach your godliness. ps love ur editing style what do you use if i may ask :3c
"there are no bad Q's, only bard Q's"💀
I was just looking for more ways to troll games away.
Lathyrus is shaking rn
I play bard to produce Bard-ccidents. Bard-related team accidents
its not the size of the portal that matters. its how you use it
inspirational
thank you for this incredible guide poly
anyways updated bard guide when?
ty poly i've learned a lot
The devil himself as the 6th item.
im pretty sure Bard got invented for PolyPuff
great video my fluffy friend
I’m dealing with a mosquito at night rn and can’t sleep..
3:37 It also makes your Q look like a fat fart, so theres that.
Wait till you see the full ap cho'gath eat baron at 2k hp
Great video!
how tf did someone comment 6 hours ago
Dude that's what I'm saying
Hey poly! getting into making content for another game was wondering what software you use to get the angles like you did in your intro!
thanks for the video makes me want to die a little less
7:26 is a lie, you must ALWAYS take the 1 inch portals. It's not an option
Thx buddy, now i can troll even more game :P
Gordon Watching this video like 👁👄👁
Remember: A bard play, without R, is just a bad play.
only thing missing from this video is the shelly shtopper.
