The sole fact that sunfire's damage is static and unimprovable makes it a bad late game item. You can't make sunfire's damage anybetter besides with mpen. There's no way to make it proc more often as opposed to other on-hit items which just require AS to be brought at max efficiency. AS is useless for SC obviously, and most bruisers won't ever have the choice to build magic pen. I dont know why everyone doesn't find that obvious. Sunfire cape is bought mainly in two situations :

- you need hp and armor for a good mid-game transition buy can't afford a randuin ? Go sunfire

- The stats are cool on you but you are also likely to splitpush and stay in the middle of their team by complementing your other abilities aoe-damage with some extra damage ? Go sunfire.

TL;DR : randuin is still ,even proportionnaly with price, way more viable late game and you should buy sunfire only if you're either a little bit behind and unconfident about your mid-game as a bruiser , or if it complements your kit well ( renek , mumu , just as you said ).
