False; despite being a 2 elixir disadvantage you now have a board advantage, meaning that the opponent will have to react to whatever lane the Bowler is on. Since Bolwer also has a slow move-speed, you can accumulate elixir to make a strong counter-push.

"Despite being a 2 elixir disadvantage, Bowler can counter Goblin Barrel perfectly if placed 1 tile away from the centre-back tile of your Arena Tower. Due to his slow move-speed, you can accumulate enough elixir to send a strong counter-push.  However, this requires some precise timing, you should aim to place him right as the Barrel's shadow passes their Arena Tower.
