I am not sure who isnt aware of this. Of course, on champions that scale very hard into mid/late game such as pantheon, riven, darius, shyvana(tops exclusively), this wouldnt be AS good of a pick since they benefit more from LW, BC, or BT but nonetheless, good items. I usually only take these items in the jungle because normally, i can get better use out of normal items. The only exception is the Ancient Golem, it is a fantastic tank item no matter where you are and is normally very usefull later in the game, especially on champs like Cho and Volibear.
