The "facing" mechanic has proven to be beyond the capacities of LoL's engine (ie. Braum "faces" the direction in which he is moving during, regardless of the direction his model is literally facing), so even if it were to be that, it would by physically impossible to implement without redoing the engine from ground up.

So yes, it is the latter. She gains a barrier in the given direction. Think.
