Alright, his hp is not buffed on purpose because he has that passive (which kinda takes away the whole point of a passive giving you some advantage anyway) but what is this Armor rating issue?

Come on guys, Mundo starts with more armor and gets much more armor per level. Same goes for characters like Master Yi (who'll be close quartes all the time, but so is malphite; also he lacks an un-focuser ability like Alpha strike) and even Annie and Ashe. Malzahar eventuall gets MORE armor than Malphite if you dont buy armor items.

I understand that whole point of building tank is to get armor items, but it's still absurdly stupid for a hovering mage prophet to be naturally tougher than a creature of solid rock. Also; saying that it's just about items you pick, that it doesnt matter, is like giving Malphite 50 starting AP and saying it doesnt matter anyway since you can build a 800 ap veigar. MAKES. NO. SENSE.
