That....isn't how armor works..... If you have 280 armor, that doesnt mean that you have 280% more effective health. It's done by an equation. 100/(100+armor) is the multiplier. If you have 280 armor, that's 100/380=26%. That means you take only 26% of the damage that they would be dealing. If you have 3k health, this makes your effective health roughly 12k, not the 8.4k you said it is. Although I agree that stacking health is better against items like the black cleaver, I agree more with OP in that Riot made it very hard to itemize against items like this.
