DeadMan's Plate "crowds out choices"

Everyone is free to their own interpretations, but this is how I see it.... Instead of downvoting, please atleast try and have a discussion.

with less than 500-600 armor this item will not counter adc's. They can life steal off the damage and pen most of the armor. (situational)

Gives armor, which is great against all ad teams, but with no health to back it up, it doesn't work well. (again situational)

Is still in the game why? It would be great if you could protect your towers with it, but the situation doesn't normally arise where the active is better than the bonus resistances from another item.

Gives a nice revive, so that tanks can die a second time... (Situational Item)

Sweet! A pushing item for tanks that works off of... hit points... and isn't strong enough to push a tower without one full duration of the item.

Finally, an item that scales of of tanking! Too bad you need to now build health in order to survive...

Great active! Great Stats... but its for mages.

, , and are basically the same item, but reducing crits is situational, and not all tanks do as well with sunfire cape, bonus movement is the easy answer....

So where am I getting with all of this? Well against a full ad team, as a "tank", the items of "choice" are going to be because you need boots, because you need crit reduction, because you need hp and armor), because you are exceedingly slow without it. , because health is still more valued than armor. For the last item, I would suggest thornmail, but it really is "situational"

However, as a "Juggernaut" You would much rather have HP items, and just try and soak the damage, with something like a /

On top of all of that... this is all out the window if they have any mages... become exceedingly less useful.
