League of Legends (LoL) Question: heal or barrier in ARAM?

    heal or barrier in ARAM?

    Hi everyone,

    Because of the current meta, heal isn't very popular in summoner's rift, but what about ARAM? let's take a look at the positive and negative points of these spells.

    you can't recall in ARAM, wich makes heal more valuable, but barrier coudlve blocked that damage, and there are also health relics. Barrier can be wasted if not timed good, but (at least i think so) if timed right, barrier can block more damage then heal would grant you.
    heal can always be used if not at full health, and the cooldown would be over fastter because you can use it earlier then barrier. if youre at low health, you can make your enemies engage you and trick them by suddenly using heal, but the same coould be done with barriers block. heal can heal your team, barrier can only block you.

    so... wich one is better? I think barrier is better in 1v1, but i always take barrier in ARAM.

    Greetings, Mage legend

    There's a global healing debuff in ARAM which stretches the HP gain gap even further, plus you can't chain Heals effectively.

    If somebody on your team took Heal already you should go with Barrier.

    Oh i almost forgot about the healing debuff of ARAM and the "Recently Healed" debuff.
    This explains why i should pick Barrier ^^ Thanks

    Heal helps your whole team, which is great when you have no healer in your team.
    Barrier allows you to survive attacks in a short time, which is great if the enemy does a lot of damage in a short time :P

    So basically:
    Get Heal if you have no healer ( Soraka/ Taric/ Sona/ Alistar/whatever)
    Get Barrier when the enemy deals nasty damage.

    Or you could be a real man and go Exhaust and Ignite.

    Well, i always pick Exhaust and barrier, or flash and barrier. Flash and exhaust are still better then heal.
