Bard Mid - Build Help

[ivory sonnet]

With Bard in the game now, I wish to try playing him but I personally dislike Support lane; however I am comfortable in Mid-lane! So, trying to build him now. This is what I have so far.

I am trying to build a more tanky bard than pure damage bard.

Don't

Mate, if I needed someone to tell me "don't", I'd ask my SoloQ teammates 💀

You don't have enough wave clear to comfortably roam

But if you wana try it full ap would.be good

I understand the risks and the challenges; however, consider this, it's normals.

[supple dune]

Oh then never mind

Therefor, I don't care about taking the game competitively

[supple dune]

Then full ap might be great since your team could use the magic damage

Also gives you some actually pressure outside of ganks

What would one build though, that is the question

[supple dune]

Honestly ludens into litch bane then going death cap might have great burst

If you want more sustain then riftmaker first instead of ludens might be good

Your build kind of makes sense.. If i had to suggest changes, Maybe take mejais instead second item instead of dcap? And maybe a magic item with hp instead of orb to make use of the resistances more? It's just theoretical tho cuz he's always banned, but let me know how it goes for you

Could you post a picture of the build you're talking about?

[supple dune]

Why majais?

You shouldn't be getting alot of kills even as bard mid

[kindred sequoia]

You could go a bunch of ap health items like liandries and rift maker

And then have that one item that gives u ap based on bonus health

[wide olive]

Because he's very hard to kill and gets assissts from across the map while sitting in base

Plus movespeed

Try maybe Bard top instead of mid. Mid is all about pushing the wave as fast as possible so you can roam. In toplane you can just freeze the wave instead of pushing and poke your opponent to death if they try to farm. After the laning phase you can start roaming and making plays.
