Does the raw health it give get close to the "effective health" of other items that give health & resistance? Right now it feels like it fills a niche that doesn't exist. Like, maybe if you are eating poke as a tank or something? Or maybe it lets you do some kind of multi-wave tower tanking in-and-out deal?

All it does is give sustain, not much more

I think it can be viable against an ap burst type of team comp but generally you'll never see those in Draft or Solo Que, also you'll probably be building Spirit Visage against a ton of AP first so by the time you get around to Warmogs you want more armor for their ADC. Maybe a price reduction would make it more viable

Once you stacked up some resistances, it gives compareable effective hp(maybe still a bit less), but the sustain is actually pretty powerfull since the buffs. If you play a champ that often can drop out of a fight with low hp, it can basically give a second hp-bar for the end of the fight. It's also strong if you have alot shields in your team, cause damge done to shields does not disable the passive, so if you get shielded for over 5sec, the regen starts to kick in mid combat. On a champ like Sion with locket and some shielding support, this happens quite often unless you get full focused fire.

All in all, it's a solid pickup as 5th or 6th item for many tanks and some fighters like Wukong.

its not for "eating poke"

its for giving tanks healing between fights, like when roaming to another lane or just backing off without recalling

I love Warmogs!
