A situational item. Cheap 100 Armour, but if you can afford something else get that instead (treat it like an expensive Doran's item).

That said it is the counter to lifesteal. Solo q is filled With Yi's getting a Bloodthirster and going on an ult rampage. This will stop them from keeping it up indefinitely at the very least.
