Armor is both weak and strong
Armor is strong on champions that can abuse it hard like malphite or maokai because they can synergyze it with their kits and tank incredibly harder than other types of tanks against AD enemies.
Now on tanky champions with different kits it is completely different, building pure armor on a gragas isn't that effective and ADC's will still be able to burst you down quite a bit.
Btw a moment of silence for all the full AD teams against a full armor malphite, rip.
