382Bard
720Twitch

0.3Twitch
Bard brings significantly more crowd control than Twitch, with 1.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Bard far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Twitch should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
921Bard
