Well, consider that the best possible outcome from her passive is that she has some shield and is at 1 HP and counting, and she takes a boatload of physical damage all at once. She will take reduced damage by about 50% because of her base armor rates, her dependency on tanky builds due to very close range, and her armor buff W. Now, take half of the 50% remaining and divide it in half. That 25% reduction is the VERY MOST that she can ever possibly get from her passive if she built any armor at all, and guess what? true damage will eat straight through that, that shield will run out quickly anyway, and she'll be in the front taking boatloads of damage anyway. If she has a decent amount of health, any amount of damage will deal a bunch of damage before being halved, and if she's got poisons on her, the passive usually doesn't even proc. I'm amazed that she's as consistently UP as she is.
