When to use seal of health runes?
I'm just a player trying to learn. I see high elo players selecting seal of health runes instead of armor. Is losing 9 armor worth losing for 72 health? When is it best to use these runes?

There's 4 options for seals. Armor vs Health. Flat vs Scaling.
Flat Armor (Default, 9 Armor)
- You are laning against an AD champion.
- You are a melee laning against a ranged champion.
- You are expecting to take minion harass.
Flat Health (72 health)
- You are laning against an AP champion.
- You want to fight pre-6.
- You are afraid of getting bursted down pre-6.
Scaling Armor (breaks even at level 6)
- You are laning against an AD champion.
- You aren't expecting fights pre-6.
Scaling Health (breaks even at level 6)
- You are laning against an AP champion.
- You are afraid of getting bursted down post-6.
Get the health seals when you want to get a health advantage in duels early game. So if you play early game champions or marksmen, use these seals. In addition, these seals also grants you some extra hp survivability from burst damage, so get them when you are going to lane against burst mages.
