K so i'm going to start buying Frozen heart on non-mana champs like aatrox and gnar.

item 3075 100 armor=2000 Gold(85% efficient without passive), passive=?? hard to say since it's nerf, either way it's highly situational, and not that much.

item 3110 90 armor=1800 Gold, 400 mana = 560 Gold, 20% cooldown reduction = 600 Gold(almost 106% efficient without aura) Without the mana at same cost it is almost 86% efficient.

So basically, you pay an extra 450 gold for almost as much armor+20% cdr and a better passive.

Elixers cost more then that, and item 3078 is bought on non-mana champs which only has 150 less mana than item 3110

So there you have it, item 3075 is pointless unless you build full armor on an armor tank against a full basic attack comp.

It literally has 1 niche which occasionally presents it self in low elo.

item 3143 Would be better on them.

item 3143

actual health increase + effective health increase + active that makes you stickier = way more cost efficient for a manaless tank.

Even Garen can have that, doesn't matter if you need mana or not. AS long as it's well used.

did you include item 3035 into the gold effeciency of both items?

because your opponent can build that for 1300 gold while youre not even halfway finsihed building frozen heart, or thornmail.

building armor focused items it a trap this season. if you want to survive auto attacks for a little while, youll have to go with item 3143 item 3742 item 3068

ive faced a full ad comp recently with 3 ad carries. and then i got sunfire instead of thornmail as my third armor item. thats how bad that thing is right now. the base stats arent worth it and the passive is trash after the nerf.

another reason is, that adc are dealing a lot of mixed damage right now. so itemizing into armor without health is even worse because of that.

theres nothing stopping me from building item 3143 as well, and health from other sources, theres no point bringing that up. I'm just replacing item 3075 with item 3110 When I need all my armor/lots of armor in 1 item slot,+20%cdr from 1 source is really nice.

I'm just pointing out its a good substitute for a heavy armor item, not that it's better or worse than any other(besides thornmail)

note that the only health+armor+ cdr item is item 3056 , item 3174 is the only MR item with 20% cdr.

point being item 3110 is more than just armor.
