Rushing warmog, good or bad?

[quote=kadun]I've seen many tanks just instantly rush a warmogg even before all gold/5 items, tier 2 boots and all other items, is it good to rush it or ?[/quote]

[quote=Pwnzor1130]You certainly don't want it before tier 2 boots and building Gp5 in top lane has fallen out of favor due to the importance of getting tankier stats and/or damage items. Other then that it's usually a good idea to get it quickly as it takes a while to get stacks on it.[/quote]

[quote=Phoenix0000ff]Everything tends to be situational but a lot of players are going atmogs (atma's impalier / warmoggs) recently. The item combination has good synergy. This makes tanky dps characters durable early provided any teamfights happen. When said person gets atma's their dueling/damage capability is greatly increased. For the sake of survivability resistance/armor is usually a better consideration. Warmoggs is a lot of farm. If the game allows for farm then it tends to be good, at least with atmas.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Generally speaking it's bad to rush Warmogg's. There are cheap items that go a long way in improving your quality of life while you farm the item. Sometimes it's okay. (Items that might make life easier while you farm up WM'S?) Warmogg's. Brutalizer. Couple D blades. Etc, even a chain vest or negacloak goes a long way in some lanes ^_^ I will say that on a tank you do want to get it, and earlier is better than later ^_^[/quote]

[quote=Pozsich]I don't think it's inherently good or bad to rush it... I will say rushing it is my preference for tanks, and on rare occasions I may rush it on off tanks. But most of the time rushing all that HP is probably not the best way to go, as there are cheaper options that can help earlier on while you carry over to it.[/quote]

[quote=GrimmFate]What would you gain from rushing it? That's what I want to know.[/quote]

[quote=kadun]I play a jungle amumu, and other jungle tanks, i just like my gold/5 items, philo stone and heart of gold, but then im called a noob cause i got like 1.5k hp when russing a warmogg provides about 1k alone.[/quote]

[quote=TheJohn]Depends. When I play as Mordekaiser, its the first or second complete item I get (sometimes I finish boots first). I have armor/MR/HP regen runes and now 0/30/0 masteries (9/21/0 before), so its pretty safe, and I'm sure that I can finish it in 5 mins or so.[/quote]

[quote=Khazem]You generally want some damage/utility first cause if you end up rushing Warmog's after boots you'll just be a moving training dummy. Though you do want to get it early as you'll need time to stack it up etc.[/quote]
