It was a big buff.

Are you kidding me? You purchase it and instantly get a spike in health rather than having to waste your time farming it up. It's incredibly cost effective and gives its maximum use immediately, which is the most important thing. You buy it at base and you can jump back into lane or group with your team ASAP with a huge gain in health.

The prevalence of the item in tournament play and the new running joke of "League of Warmogs" is more than enough proof that it was, indeed, a buff, since Warmog's was a niche buy beforehand whereas it is now bought on ANY hero, including ADCs.
