The item is good concept because it requires you to work your way to get the desired effects 1st it requires you to damage enemy champions only 2nd it requires you to keep damaging them with attacks and abilities 3rd it requires you to stack armor

Zhonya's Hourglass on other hand it requires you to press single button for desired effect which you made without any effort to reach the desired effect

You are completely wrong it does not scale into lategame. Its (%) percent armor scaling making it weaker early game and stronger lategame if you desire to stack armor. If you don't stack armor you wont get much protection

--

lets say max stacks = 25% which is 25 armor / 100 armor with 300 armor you get 75 bonus armor which is quite strong for lategame item and that you stacked armor

--

The item is oriented for tankier champions

It is much harder for ranged champions to get the desired effect where melee champions tend to get the stacks much easier. Either they would have high cdr or high attack speed and since they are melee they will get the desired effect much quicker than lets say marksmen

--

Champions like Yi, Jax, Xin Zhao will get the stacks fast cause they got bonus attack speed and are likely to get even more attack speed from other items as well so the item may compliment them especially since Jax and Xin Zhao also have bonus armor from their abilities. Crossguard gives both armor and AD so it should be very appealing for them

Perhaps Gnar and Graves on of those ranged champion that can be effeective for them. Graves got same passive that scales his armor and this item will compliment that perfectly

Gnar most of the times is build tanky so he can continuesly harass his opponents and once he got enough rage he can engage as melee form and became melee champion which will allow him to get the reminding stacks faster
