The effect you are mentioning does not exist. This is an incorrect statement. Armor does not increase your health, it reduces incoming damage by a percentage. If you hover your armor stat in game it will plainly tell you: "Reduces incoming physical damage by xx%". As for any multiplicative calculation, there's going to be diminishing returns, where buying more of it will increase the effect less and less.
