Adaptive Helm is actually more effective against mages that do have the tools to kill tanks. This is because to kill a tank, you want sustained damage. DoTs are a very strong form of sustained damage (especially when combined with liandry). Mages that don't have the tools to kill tanks are dealt with better with a Spirit Visage or Abyssal Mask.

Adaptive Helm is there more so that it is not game over for a tank if there is a Brand or Malzahar on the enemy team for example.
