@Aginor2 That would prove difficult, since everytime you include a damage input, the output of mark of the kindred and BotRK will change. I just decided to keep things simple.

You have a flat 50 magic damage passive on devourer, and 45 ad and 10 ar pen on warrior. To show you that 45 ad and 10 ar pen isn't that big, take one aa at lvl 18 with only devourer, including 50 magic damage on a target that has 100 ar and a 100 mr, it will give you 89 dmge, and one auto with warrior only you have 97 dmge (without mark of the kindred).

I know that calculating aa damage with a full build with devourer gives you less damage on the first auto than a warrior full build. I also know that for each consecutive auto, the damage output from each auto of a devourer build converge towards the damage output of a warrior build thanks to the % current health damage and the magic damage mitigation from devourer. In the same window of time, you have more autos with devourer. So even if I include other sources of damage (abilities) I know that the devourer's build aa damage will converge just faster towards warrior's aa damage.

So the choice between those 2 items won't be in terms of which one deals more damage, but in terms of how do you take on a fight. In that sense, I still think warrior is the way to go, since you won't have a punching bag in a game but real players who have feelings and will fight back for their lives. Since you deal more damage the higher the current health of your opponent is with warrior, it's better to buy it.

I hope It's clear enough, english isn't my first language. Sorry for the long comment :p

TL;DR : Warrior is better the more health your opponent got, devourer's damage output converges towards warrior's damage output as your target gets low in  health and eventually surpasses warrior. In a realistic game of league, you are better off with warrior IMO.
