Who is Lathyrus? Why he's the best Bard in the World. 

Download Opera GX for free here: opr.as/DongHuaP3 Thanks to Lathy for the interview. Although I don't feel like support is exactly the most fun role, Lathy definitely makes the role feel different with his playstyle. You can check him out in the description and his stream!

if Lathyrus has million number of fans i am one of them. if Lathyrus has ten fans i am one of them. if Lathyrus has no fans. that means i am no more on the earth. if world against Lathyrus, i am against the world. i love Lathyrus till my last breath... die hard fan of Lathyrus

“No bad trades, only bard trades.” -PolyPuff

"I played with 100 + ping and i thought that is normal, and i still reach to challenger with it" dahm what a chad

When i realized it wasnt about polypuff: *cries in chimes*

why does your mic sound good in the ad but then shits the bed as soon as the video starts

Magical journey across the regions

The most terrifying thing to see as a flashless ADC is Bard ult centered on your character

6:40 Bard's portal working as intended.

Lathyrus is amazing and educational, just so self destructively humble. Calling himself hardstuck in pisslow elo while still top 10 challenger.

A wise man once said: there are no bad trades, only bard trades

Therapist: long Gragas barrel can’t hurt you, it isn’t real Long gragas barrel: 10:47

Bruh, thought its gonna be polypuff :((

Imagine hitting Challenger only playing like... 4 seasons...

Casually makes challenger within 3 months of playing in 124 ping And then there's me hard stuck Plat for 4 years

He said he started playing in Season 7 but his accounts op.gg goes back to Season 3 lol, sshhh.

I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in the video, but a really good use for Bard Ult is to deny the rift herald when the enemy gets it. If you ult your own turret, the rift herald will not damage it at all when it dashes!

Burst Bard. Bait? Yes. Fun? Also yes. The chunk feels good, even if it it will never be meta.

this guy his challenger in 3 months? i hit gold 4 in 5 years :C

Lathyrus is probably the most wholesome guy on twitch, go give him a follow, thank me later

His honors are so high in Korea Edit: nvm I thought this video was about Polypuff

this is the official "i am a dia bard otp" button

I literally just found this guy's steam like an hour ago and then this video came out lmao. Perfect timing

You gotta wonder how many times he killed his own team with his ult before he got good with it.

If you're reading this pls give us the ignite pta malphite for once

Us danes really have shit accents like how cringe do we Sound😂😭

A nice hug to all bard mains out there. Take care folks

Says he started in season 7 was diamond in season 3 🤔

One other thing, eyeball collection allows him to proc the cosmic drive passive which you need 160 AP for, without it youre a few ap short

DongHuaP - "And He is arguably, the best Bard player in the world~" PolyPuff - "hold my Chimes!" Love Ya All

His motivation to play Bard is the same as my motivation to play TF. Everyone hates TF, and thinks he's always weak, and yet I make him work.

Yo, I've tried this build several times on ARAM and it did wonders. I simply love the synergies among all the items and build he took. I'm not a scared Bard anymore. You have to watch them all in for you and surprise bitches, I'm a tank now and they eventually die. Simply love it. Thank you for sharing

To conclude we could say: ADCs are the worst players of LoL XD

First dislike

I started Bard for the same reason but I fell in love with his kit. Same thoughts as this guy too. That's awesome to see someone else do it so high elo

save urself some time boys - 1:20 i got u and have a nice day

I live in hawaii with 120ms lol NA still the closest server. Feels bad

What I don't get is that almost every clip shows him with Imperial mandate, but then says to never build it.

Bard is life, I'm gonna main him now and see what the hell happens

You mean Polypuff is not best bard KR?

Lathyrus looks like the most danish person ever.

I've been playing Bard on and off since his release. I understand the points he is making exactly. Although, playing Attack Speed AP/Hybrid Bard is the stupidest shit that I've ever got to work.

Polypuff: “look what they need to imitate a fraction of my plot armor”

Damn finally i find a player that started out the same way as me, who thought going NA was worth only to play with highping, it seriously is an insane handicap but i actually recommend people trying it out because i swear its good practice and can give you a new understanding about predicting opponents and such.

He says that he is a "new player from s7", but then his EU account dates back to S3 (diamond finish which was a high elo back then). Also, he talks about playing Warcraft3 instead of LoL, which was alive up until 2010. Plus Bard was released in S5. I really didn't understand this part.

500k on bard here, tip for bard ults it’s super simple and has taken me too many seasons to realize. just never ult your team. ever. it’s never useful. ever. name a situation where it’s better to ult your team over utling the enemy team who is diving in on your team? if your team gets malphite ulted and yassuo ulted, (if it’s all 4 teammates) maybe, but if that happens your probably fucked anyways. so to stop that if you get womboed ult the enemy back line (the other 3 enemies) and then one shot yassuo and malph when they stop CC and then focus down carries. it’s always bad to get your own team cced change my mind and prove me wrong. that’s the tip.

Ulting front line and back lines are the same. Front lines where all the tanks are, but backline's also where all the assassins are too. There is lots of damage build in this guide, early dark seal and cosmic drive are two

It took you guys until 2021 to find out what everyone should know since the champ's release...Bard is and always will be the most versatile and useful support champion in the game...

I really like this, ive been watching a lot of supports and trying to figure out how to do better since im just gold support main. I can't help but notice that this guy and Aphromoo both adopt a heavy roam support style, both rushing lucid boots and locket.

I doubt him as challenger player. He make so much basic mistakes that’s make my eye hurth. Some times he spend 1 minute between nothing gaining total of 0 xp. He don’t know what order to destory wards in and all ways goes 1 build. Which lead to quick lose if none grevious wounds or other required items a like. Pretty low vision score as well All he do is not feeding so he can be carried. That’s how it looks on his stream .

I find 2 things strange E second max i feel will be better Second wind should be noted as an option if you are bad Also there is this little trick with bard where if you get two chimes early you can level 2 1 minion faster

wtf DongHuaP where's polypuff?

My favorite things to do when I play Bard are tricking enemies into my portals and interrumpting Jhin's and Xerath's ultis with my R

The best bard in the world is polypuff

I live in Hawaii so I regularly get 120ms. Hasn't stopped me from maining asol and off rolling nidalee jg

I have not seen a single person build the wardstone item, ever. Not even in pro play.

Him: most people build bard with ap shop items. Me an old school bard main : tragic. Him: but I don't like playing that way. Me: tank tanK! TANK! TANK! Him: I like to build tanky... Me: YEAAAAAAHHHH!!!

I thought i was special when i reached gold in a few months of my first season and then there is this guy

After being an exclusive support main for 6 years, I started playing Bard just now and I never really understood how to play him until this vid. Thank you very much

really bard lvl 1 is strong? pyke is better, thresh is better, blitz in better, lux is better, maybe even nami, but bard lvl 1 is better? no way dude, no F way... He's a meh champion, u can do good things with him in the right hands, but u can do much more with other sups, simple as that.

This guy is a noob. Wrong runes, you have to take Conqueror for more damage.

You sound kind of sad Dong, did something happen?

Hold up It's not polypuff :(

12:32 you took ability haste, ability power, and scaling health in the screenshot, but you say to take ability haste, armor, and scaling health. which is it?

RU-vid just ripped your latest video WTF?If you repost someone could archive it or something no? Good luck.

His Q usage has little to do with why he's best. You can't explain all of it on one ability usage and then go on to explain his playstyle and item choices and bard ult? What is this video makes no sense at all

I climbed out of Bronze (to plat) with bard and i still Main him. Over the years i Too evolved a playstyle where you Build him tanky and act just as he explained and hearing the #1 bard doing the same stuff as me just Feels so cool PS: Bard was by far the strongest when Spellthiefs Edge still existed and had twin shadows on it + the Quest that gave you movement speed when gaining gold through the passive (by hitting a champion). He was sooo good at catching and kiting and position himself for the Q it was Insane. And then there was this time where it was normal to have like 8 meeps following you and you could 1v1 any non-tank easy with their base damage

Ma boy playing NA with 120 ping and getting challenger while I'm 150 ms on my own region and can't hit diamond

Dude I'm the best bard in the world search my name on eune RealBlanke

did i miss understand , did he hit challenger in 3 months off playing the game including he played with 110+ ping? wtf? this is not even possible is it?

this guy's clips are insane.

The guy narrating is the equivalent of Nardwuar but in league. Hes interviewing and geeting into the niche details. He just need to give the dude a gift now.

I play with 100 ping if you dont have more than 150 ping you shouldnt even be talking about lag.

Wow it is so cool that the guy who introduced Mr Dong to Lathy saved my cat once with the help of his private helicopter and 5 lamborghinis

Normal cast on Bard ult has actually helped a lot tbh

Bard Zil main here I’m so upset Zil is pick or ban now so sad. Hopefully we get a skin at least.

Check out Lord Semi, he’s a Rammus one trick challenger in both Brazil and NA

even though its late comment and probably someone already said it if you see enemy place herold you can ult tower to deny the herold charge damage

El mejor bardo del mundo es el de papá oso, el mató al 3 veces campeón del mundo.

jesus, this guy had the same ping as me on the na server, but he lives in another continent and i live in california :(

Average in dota, but best bard player in the world. You know lol is easy for kids hahahah

*Sad Polypuff noises*

I am early so I have no idea what to say except that the akali buffs make her broken please nerf

Mobility > Iceborn > Dead man's... years upon years of building this on Bard and having SO much fun. With S11, Iceborn is trash (no Sheen effect, no mana???!?!), Dead man's... only slows if you're melee... They murdered Bard a little, but Imperial makes up for it damage-wise... but not tanky-wise.

polypuff be seething

This just shows how inflated and easy the support role is. No hate towards the streamer i wish him success.

Opera GX is the biggest ram eater of all the browsers, Chrome doesn't even come close.

Really sad how he looked more and more derange in the cam..

man i dont know im a pretty good bard player..lol maybe i should start full time going for bard no.1.. reached gm with bard one champ in NA and now play D2 with bard one champ in KR and I only play not too seriously if i really focus and practice i might reach it i think i got 2000 hours on it so far

I'm 1.1 mil exp bard jungle Main this guy speaks true wisdom

I got a question for the opera GX users, Does it actually work by limiting ram and cpu? I tried but it doesnt seem to change much compared to chrome even with more tabs open

nah its polypuff

This guy did all of this simply to change peoples minds about bard because he enjoyed playing him ... can you imagine if this guy played the most meta things and tried to optimise to win like the pro players do... crazy to think about i think if he invested into other supports like he does bard he could make for an intresting pro player

If ya'll look at the base value on meep-autos you'd agree that tank items are for Bard. At 50 chimes it's 160 bonus damage per auto for up to 4 autos in an _aoe that slows._ Even if you aren't going for q or r, Bard would be able to slow someone(s) by 50% for 4 seconds, and deal 640 bonus damage for "free". With 30% ap ratio, you'd need 533 ap to double the damage, and you'd definitely die before getting more than 2 autos off in later game scenarios if built full ap. His attack range is also only 500, and he can get more than 4 charged auto's in the bank if the game goes really long, for more bonus damage per auto too. Bard's entire kit struggles to have even as much ap value as Soraka just pressing R. Bard's E and R have 0 scaling.

Hey! Bard main here! I might be off, but I am fairly certain that Guardian does *not* proc off of Bard's shrine after(key word: *after*) placed. This is because of how the Shrine targeting actually functions and the requirements for proccing Guardian. Guardian only goes off of unit-targeted abilities. The Shrine is treated as unit-targeted only when it is being placed(you may notice a slight snap-to effect when hovering W over a friendly champion). If used in that way, the ally is Guarded as per Guardian. If the shrine is placed and left, it should no longer proc Guardian.

He can proc Guardian.. from anywhere???? Omg. Titled lol

pretty sure at the rate NA is going, NA isn't gonna be a major region soon kekw

I'm sorry dong but I'm not using a gamer browser

This is the problem for almost all gamers whatever games they play. Always so afraid of losing or failing that rather than being good or perfecting something, they are just limiting themselves, making them weaker and predictable
