Well, the rate itself isn't awefull. It's more that you also need to use it to keep up with others as you have no passive armor. So for the first 15 minutes or so your "free" armor is more like 5-10 points which isn't really all that interesting. It just makes his passive feel underwhelming since he never really reaches the point where it becomes brilliant because of this. And late game when you have 150+ armor cuz you have a thornmail or randuins or sunfire or whatever you ended up with, 4armor/minute doesn't feel very impressive either (and that's assuming you're not facing the ridiculously popular penetration builds..)

As for the free AP.. if only his ratios weren't so ridiculously bad (ignoring his ulti)...
