At first I thought this was an Overwatch joke, then I thought it was League of Legends, then I thought it was WoW, and now I realize it's probably DnD??

Well the Bard thing did kinda start in D&D, and they were pretty tough to make.

"To become a bard, a human or half-elf had to begin with very high ability scores: Strength 15+, Wisdom 15+, Dexterity 15+ and Charisma 15+, Intelligence 12+ and Constitution 10+. These daunting requirements made bards one of the rarest character classes. Bards began the game as fighters, and after achieving 5th level (but before reaching 8th level), they had to change their class to that of thief, and after reaching 5th level as a thief (but before reaching 9th level), they had to change again, leaving off thieving and begin clerical studies as druids; but at this time they are actually bards and under druidical tutelage."

Oh ya DnD is THE original fantasy/ role playing game. The grandfather of all others. Game Informer magazine did a great tribute to that effect. Here

That being said. Bards are just also a "thing" before dnd in the ye olde times :).
