pedit rofl
myko gets it right. I actually thought he was agreeing with Zephyr in 31747 originally, though. ^^~:
Yeah, I figured. That one was sarcastic but tone is hard to get from posts.
Surrender, imagine and of course wear something nice.
BT gives a shield, and less AD to the enemy adc. So you are less likely to get 100-0'd, so this change gives negative incentive to take barrier over heal!

Barrier can be used in 100% of instances. Heal cannot.
You can't use heal to negate damage until after you've already taken it.
Heal outscales barrier sure but there are several instances where you will not be able to use heal before you're dead.
BT has better synergy with Barrier for damage negation because lolmassiveshield
You take heal over barrier for the affect on the 2nd person and the ms buff.
If you're concerned about getting busted down in fights/lane yourself, you take barrier b/c it doesnt get reduced by ignite.

This is situational knowledge.
when you know there's going to be very high burst then barrier is going to be a better option. There.
This is true, but you'll still want heal on the ADC for laning phase.

You're wrong, and your appeal to authority has failed.

Assuming you have BT shield up (and if you don't, new BT isn't relevant anyway), you're already that much less likely to be insta-bursted from full, making it safer to take the summoner spell that gives you more health (i.e. heal).
Panzer's situation also does not show any benefit from barrier that wouldn't work better with heal.

So i played against a challenger, and a diamond that used to be a challenger, and they were both total dickheads, it was so funny that they think they are amazing winning a game against a lower ranked team XD

I think skarner should probably stick to the jungle.

if you told your jungler not to come to your lane after they pinged it and they did it anyway are you justified it not assisting them?
