As opposed to block and unyielding, the unique passive applies to damage BEFORE armor, making it pretty useless.

See for proof below (without Doran's Shield):

Test case 1

Soraka has 58 ad and hits Sivir (19 armor) for 48 damage. 58 * 100/119 = 48,74 ~ 48.

Test case 2 (with Doran's Shield)

Soraka has 64 ad and hits Sivir (31 armor) for 44 damage. 64 * 100/131 = 48,85 ~ 48.

If the passive applied after armor, Sivir would have received 48 - 6 = 42 damage.

However, Sivir receives (64-6) * 100/131 = 44,27 ~ 44 damage, so Doran's_Shield's unique passive applies before armor.
