It's very situational. Versus a lot of high HP characters/bruisers (think Garen), it's usable. More often than not, it's better to get a Void Staff, but if you are behind, Liandry's can be a good fall-back item. This is because it will extend the duration of your passive by 3 seconds, allowing others to deal some damage and let you get a reset or two... or five. Anyways, it's good if you lost lane but the rest of your team is doing well, and you already have a Zhonya's.

Keep in mind that it is typically better to buy something else unless you are in that kind of situation.
