I use it in certain matchups, but most of the time Heal is superior because you dont have to time it with the damage and you get a movement speed increase.

I'll use it if I am going against a champ that has a single huge nuke (Zed's Ult for example) because it is easy to time the skill and it'll protect more than heal covers. Or if i am going against a champ that can apply Grievous Wounds (Like Miss Fortune) bottom with a support that can keep me from running (like blitz) so I can mitigate more damage than I'd be able to heal.

Heal is almost always superior though, but barrier does fill its niche.

Yes I prefer it to heal..

As adc - Mid-late game team fights you usually have an assassin with ignite jumping on you, which makes heal worthless.

If the movespeed from Heal saves you from a single autoattack it's already better, even if you don't heal an ally.

Its better for mids, since its stronger and chances are you'll be on your own more often

take barrier against someone like fizz or zed. (zed to mitigate the damage from death mark, and fizz has heal debuff so barrier is better)
