Can someone help me end a debate over Randuin's Omen vs Frozen Heart first.

I got abused for building Frozen Heart on Zac when my plan was to get a Randuin's Omen right after. My logic is that the Aura from Frozen Heart stacks with the Cold Steel Passive from Randuin's Omen. If I got Randuin's Omen first, I would double up on the Cold Steel UNIQUE Passive when I build the Warden's Mail component, whereas if I got Frozen Heart first the Warden's Mail component would still be effective even before completing a full Randuin's Omen.

not about that though probably shouldnt be your build unless you are facing a super ad heavy team. fh is for attack speed reduction, randuins is health and slow, most of the time randuins is better unless you are facing an adc or attack speed centric top laner

Omen is built for playing against AS fighter and bruisers.

FH is built for playing against ranged and melee ADCs, especially against those with %hp damage.

You can maybe argue that due to the lack of cc or mobility your champ has, or the enemy champ being too mobile, so you're going for Omen for the MS slow, you can do that too.

... neither of those are heavy as builders. you would have been better off with just

item 3725 item 3143 item 3083 item 3065

and like a item 3060 or item 3190 (plus boots)

You should have bought Randuins first. It is just better and it also benefits you most early game. If you wanted FH, you should get it second, especially since you don't benefit from the mana stat being a manaless champ. Unless you are facing an enemy team composed of only AS champions, there is no reason you should build FH first.
