I don't get all the fuzz about health.

Long time ago, tanks were stacking armor MR and health and then, people pointed out that he could be ignorable with no damage.

We're back to health stacking. Well 'kay. Can't kill him in lane. 'kay too. Yet my balanced bruiser should end up stronger than a health stacker anyway.

IMO the thing is, when you face a team with 2 health heavy character (e.g. Cho jungle, Singed top), you need to let them try to initiate. If you do (unless you got some strong AOE CC type of character), you tend not to reach their squishies while they reach yours. But if you let the adc peel them a bit and use their own CC to initiate, you increase your chances to get past them up to their only true damage dealer.
