It needs to be paired with a health item to be more effective. Randiun's Omen is the best armor item as it comes with both armor and health, has a good build path, and the unique passive and active are both very strong. The armor it grants reduces the damage which makes the health it comes with much more effective. Since it is built from a HoG, the cost isn't too substantial, and the health regen gives decent lane sustain. The active and passive effects are extremely useful, and the best way of countering the damage from an auto attacking champ like trynd, yi, or any ranged ad carry.
