"Up to 30 HP"

I'm having a tough time telling if dorans shield is actually a buff or a nerf.

Anyone have some data on the phrasing "up to" like where the break evens are and when you get the full 30?

"Regain an additional 20 health over 10 seconds after taking damage from an enemy champion." to "Regenerate up to 30 health over 10 seconds after taking damage from an enemy champion, based on percent missing health."

It's a buff when you're being constantly harassed to low health values, and it's a nerf when you're winning duels and have sustain to keep you near the top of your health pool.

So, basically:

Darius into Sion? Darius gets less value out of Doran's Shield, as he can heal up against the other melee champion pretty easily and thus is unlikely to drop low.
Darius into Jayce? Darius gets more value out of Doran's Shield, as he's likely to be brought low by ranged harass and big Q hits.
