Both armor and health can be bought ad infinitum, if you just want to stay alive forever. However, the trick is that either a good health item or a good armor item might be better in terms of effective health per gold. Your chart however, has the opposite problem to the one you are trying to address. Namely, you don't want to see people stack all armor items because it's not effective for the amount of gold, but then completely fail to point out to people that you can get a similar problem if you stack only health items.

After a player has come to terms with *those* problems, the next problem is figuring out how much effective health you need to stay in a fight, while still having some damage output.
