PSA: Stop stacking health as a support

I'm glad you want a full item 2045 and item 3800 and item 3401 but be advised that stacking health is sub the fuck optimal if you're a tank. You need some armor and mr so you can reduce the damage taken, otherwise you're just a squishy with a lot of hp.

Pro support? item 3105 item 3110

Selfish SOB? item 3065 item 3143

really don't care who you are, oh Leona and you get mr and armor from your W? Well it scales to bonus. You're Braum and same shit? Still scales.

You're Thresh? Well play a better champ and still build some armor and mr, those little crappy souls aren't going to cut it.

Alistar? Want an OP ult? How about the other 85.5% of your existence when you're not ulting?

Not saying you have to play tank, but if you do stop stacking health thinking it will protect you. Get armor and mr, THEN get some health.

Guess you didn't want those wards item 2045 that speed-boost item 3800 or that healing and gold item 3401 either, then.

Maybe they're not stacking health to stack health. Maybe they're doing it because the really good items they want and need to, you know, support, happen to give health.

This picture will solve all issues, because it is mathematically correct on what stat is best looking at purely hp vs armor/mr.

Because people get armor/mr from runes/masteries/leveling, it means that hp is most times better until about 2500-3000 hp.
