Ever queue up for a ranked match and spend the first few minutes trying to find your focus? Slow reactions, missed engages, or a whiffed skillshot—and suddenly it’s a quick /ff.
If you take the game seriously, it’s time to prepare like you mean it. BARD is a short cognitive warmup that gets your brain in shape before you jump into the action.
Why bother?
BARD isn’t just “some reflex game.” Each test is designed to target real in-game skills you use during ranked:
Reaction Time – Dodge faster, spot flanks sooner.
Multitasking – Farm, ping, ward—and still stay in control.
Hand-Eye Coordination – Hit last-hits cleaner, land more skillshots.
Quick Decision-Making – Engage or disengage in a split second? These moments decide the outcome.
BARD Warmup Routine – 5 minutes, big difference
Audio Reflex – Audio-based focus booster. You won’t sleep on that gank again.
Aim Keystrike Trio – Precision aim + multitasking in one. Just like juggling 3 things at once in LoL or Apex.
Trace and Match – Small movements, high concentration. A perfect way to end your warmup.
Pro Tip: Don’t just use it before the first game
If you’re grinding multiple matches, drop in for a quick test between games. It keeps your mind sharp and helps you stay focused.
TL;DR
BARD is your ranked pre-game brain boost.
It won’t take 20 minutes, but it’s just enough to activate your reflexes, sharpen your focus, and stop you from “waking up” mid-match.
Click in, warm up, and see how much better that first game feels.
