Bard

Stories are everywhere. We build them from what we see. Even the sky above whispers to us.
Summary
Bard travels through realms beyond the imagination of mortal beings. Some of Valoran's greatest scholars have spent their lives trying to understand the mysteries he embodies. This enigmatic spirit has been given many names throughout the history of Valoran, but titles such as Cosmic Vagabond and Great Caretaker only capture a fleeting aspect of his true purpose. When the unknowable structure of the universe is threatened, Bard steers all existence away from utter annihilation.

Powers and Stats
Tier: High 4-C

Name:
Bard, The Wandering Caretaker

Origin: League of Legends

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown (Described as an ageless entity from time outside of time)

Classification: Celestial being, Guardian of Runeterra

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Spirit Magic, Flight, Energy Projection, Summoning (Meeps), Regenerationn (Mid-Godly), Healing magic, Reality Warping, Portal Creation, Dimensional manipulation, Immortality (Types 1, 4, and 9), Non-Corporeal, Anyone hit by Tempered Fate becomes invulnerable, immobile, and unable to attack, Can amplify his speed by collecting Meeps

Attack Potency: Large Star level (Created multiple constellations, including the Watcher Constellatio, which is made of 11 stars, stated to be superior to Celestial Soraka)

Speed: Massively FTL+ (Able to ascend into space and create entire constellations in seconds)

Lifting Strength: Unknow, likely at least Class 1

Striking Strength:
Class XTJ

Durability:
Large Star level

Stamina:
Limitless

Range: Interstellar, cross-dimensional with celestial powers

Standard Equipment: Spirit Horn

Intelligence: Extremely high, possibly Nigh Omniscient (Though the full extent of his knowledge is unknown, he had knowledge of the Frozen Watchers' return, the Fall of Shurima, and the Shadow Isles' Ruination long before they occurred, and knows events that will unfold hundreds of years in the future to the point where he knows exactly how they will unfold, who will be involved, and who those involved are descended from, and will protect the ancestors of those involved in order to keep the cosmic balance in the future)

Weaknesses: Has a limited supply of mana with which to cast spells, his spells have cooldown periods, during which time they cannot be cast (Both are highly exaggerated in-game for gameplay balance purposes; for instance, Ekko is shown to be able to use his ultimate ability in rapid succession in his cinematic)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Basic Attack: Bard fires an orb of spirit magic at the opponent, dealing physical damage. Can be augmented by Meeps.
  • Traveler's Call:
    • Chimes: Bard's presence causes sacred chimes to appear at random locations and linger for up to 10 minutes. Collecting a chime grants Bard bonus movement speed out of combat for 7 seconds, 20 experience, and 12% maximum mana, stacking up to 5 times. Every 5 chimes Bard collects empower his Meeps.
    • Meeps: Bard's presence attracts small spirits known as Meeps to his side. Each of his basic attacks causes a Meep to throw itself at his target, dealing bonus magic damage before disappearing back to the spirit world. At 5 Chimes, Meeps slow damaged enemies for 1 second, and at 25 Chimes they deal area of effect damage in a cone behind the main target, with the cone's size increasing at 65 chimes. Meeps spawn every 6 seconds and Bard can hold up to 4 of them at a time.
  • Cosmic Binding: Bard fires out a burst of spirit energy in a line, dealing magic damage to the first enemy struck and briefly slowing them by 60%. After Cosmic Binding hits an enemy, the burst of energy passes through them and searches for secondary targets. If it hits a wall or a second enemy, it stuns both targets for the same duration, dealing magic damage to the second target as well.
  • Caretaker's Shrine: Bard conjures a shrine at the target location that builds up in power over 10 seconds. Bard can have up to 3 shrines active at once, which remain until consumed. If a champion steps on a shrine, they consume it instantly. If the champion was an ally or Bard himself, they are healed for an amount based on the shrine's power and gain 50% bonus movement speed that decays over 1.5 seconds.
  • Magical Journey: Bard opens a one-way magical corridor through the first piece of terrain in front of him to the other side. Magical Journey will not cast unless it can open a corridor. Both allies and enemies can pass through the corridor, with allies and Bard traveling at increased speed.
  • Tempered Fate: Bard sends magical energy arcing to the target location, putting all units and structures in the target area in stasis for 2.5 seconds. Epic monsters and turrets (excluding Dominion turrets and the Nexus Obelisk) are also put in stasis, despite normally being immune to crowd control.
  • Spirit Horn: Bard's Spirit Horn is a unique weapon containing a special harmonic key that splits layers of reality and taps directly into the magical friction that all worlds emit.

Discord-0
Make sense? Oh, what fun is there in making sense?

Summary
Discord is the best friend to Fluttershy and arguably the strongest character in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic without having anything to aid him.

Powers and Stats
Tier: High 4-C

Name:
Discord, Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony

Origin: My Little Pony

Gender: Male

Age: Over 1000 years old (was around when Celestia and Luna were younger)

Classification: Draconequus, Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Type 1), Regenerationn (At least Mid), Has enhanced physical senses as well as the ability to sense magical disturbances, Reality Warping, Chaos Manipulation, Magic, Size Manipulation, Shapeshifting, Body Control, Elasticity, Telekinesis, Mind Manipulation, Mind Control, Empathic Manipulation, 4th Wall Awareness, Teleportation, Pocket Reality Manipulation, Flight, Creation, Duplication, Life Manipulation, Possession (Can possess inanimate objects as well), Biological Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, Portal Creation, Disease Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Weather Manipulation, Animal Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation, Time Travel, Intangibility

Attack Potency: Large Star level (Defeated both Celestia and Luna at once with ease, is able to move around multiple stars at once. Is possibly the one responsible for creating his own realm. Said to be able to defeat the whole changeling army with just a sneeze)

Speed: At least Relativistic (Easily above the Alicorns), potentially far higher (Does all his feats casually)

Lifting Strength: Unknow

Striking Strength:
Unknow (Has never shown actual demonstrations of it)

Durability: Large Star level (Can easily defeat Celestia and Luna at once), able to make himself intangible and thus very difficult to harm

Stamina: Unknown. Likely limitless (Seems to never get tired)

Range: Interstellar (Able to move around multiple stars at once)

Standard Equipment: Exploding Chocolate Milk

Intelligence: Mentally unstable, but a rather clever trickster as he was able to outsmart and deceive the Mane 6

Weaknesses: Can be so overconfident and cocky that he will not go all-out against enemies, and has a tendency to underestimate his opponents (Has been defeated three times due to this; Initially by Celestia and Luna, later by the Mane Six, and most recently by Tirek), Not immune to sicknesses and diseases

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Reality Warping: Discord's reality warping has shown no real limitations, but it is not as powerful as Tirek was after draining most of Equestria's citizens.
After 1000 years of imprisonment, Discord has broken free of his stone prison and has begun to wreak havoc on Equestria. Upon sensing the awakening of such an immensely powerful chaotic entity, Bard realizes the massive threat he could be and travels to Equestria to stop him. As Bard steps out of his portal, Discord senses the presence of another powerful magical being, and turns to see what appears to be a bearded balloon with a plate for a face. In character, no prior knowledge or prep time, SPEED EQUALIZED, who wins?

Discord - 5 (DerpCity, AssaultWaffle, LoyalservantofInti, Pikachu942, Thanos2003)

Bard - 2 (Paulo.junior.969, Kaltias)
 
Bard has Mid-Godly Regen, Immortality Type 4 and 9, is Non-Corporeal, and, like Discord, he also has Reality Warping and Magic, so, I think I'll go with him.
 
How does Discord's Mind Control work, does Discord use it very often in character, and does Bard have an answer to it?
 
Bard certainly outclasses Discord in a straight up fight, but I don't see how he can answer Mind Control. Voting for Discord for now, but if Bard has any way of countering it then I'll probably switch to him.
 
I'm all for League, but Discord in character will mind-hax straight up. Bard, like Derp says, doesn't answer this. I'm with Discord here.
 
I am going woth Bard he can do everything discord can do so most of discords hax is going to be useless the only thing discord has going for him is his mind control but Bard outclasses him in every ather category
