Heal vs Barrier Patch 4.13
Earlier today, someone told me to use Barrier on ADC Vayne instead of Heal, saying that heal was nerfed and didn't nearly give as much health back as barrier does. I responded saying that heal gives you a speed boost (which is good for kiting) and also heals an ally (useful in duo lanes).
However, when I looked at the numbers, barrier did indeed protect for more than heal at all levels, having over an 100 damage difference by level 18.
So what I'm asking is: Is Heal still the meta for ADCs or has that changed and I just haven't caught up yet?

Against champions such as Miss Fortune and Tristana this is up for debate due to their built-in heal reduction and might make you switch to Barrier instead.
Another option would be to have your support carry Heal and you, as adc, carry the Exhaust. This is a pretty strong option on carries who have no real escapes and therefore are forced to fight whoever engages on them. Examples include, but are not limited to, Draven, Varus, Jinx.
