3.5 bards and 5e bards are different.
3.5e bards were the only class that could make a god fail his saves, they were the a very big and strong buffers with great PRCs.

5e bard are the I want to do everything class.
The one who control the fight, the who heal and the one who kills.
They scream versatile and buff the party up to 11.

They are different, both good at what they do.
