re: LordOfLoot - Im not suggesting a barrel magically appear in an area after a delay, Im suggesting something akin to his ultimate or Urgot's E bomb. People have a general idea of where the Noxian bomb is going to land but don't get the luxury of it being completely painted out for them. And Brand's fire pillar blows up before Gragas' barrel will reach its target destination which is why its so effective, its subtle and fast. The only reason the current style works for Anivia is that it goes the full way no matter where you target, and getting touched by it means you're slowed and get hit by the explosion regardless.

Playing as him so much, I dodge opposition barrels easy especially if they merely roll it behind you like the Anon suggested. Standing at a far enough range and just sidestepping the barrel is easy since it goes "The barrel is going in this direction, go the other way". If he rolls it directly at you, your movespeed carries you far enough to avoid it. If he rolls it to anticipate your sidestep, move in the other direction and it carries you even further away.
