Dude, Mordekaiser's ult does damage over time and has better scaling than this and is instant. Tahm has to hit you three times and then manage to swallow you to deal this damage.

A single rotation of Mordekaiser's Combo is more palpable not only because of it's health based damage but because Mordekaiser is actually building AP.

People value true damage highly because it's true. Exact numbers without resistances to lower it more than advertised. This is closely followed by health based damage which greatly increases the damage the move would normally make. And Vayne's W has both.

Volibear functions as a fighter tank so he's given incentive to tank while also giving him a chance to deal damage on a purely tanky build. Tahm has a simliar strength as well as does Braum and a few other tank fighters who are given health based damage or sustain.
