The Thornmail passive is useless without health to back it up and the armour's effectiveness isn't all that great without it either. If you're in a situation like that where you absolutely must get a high armour defensive item Randuin's Omen is better in every way for effective hp, plus the passive and active are actually useful without additional items. Granted it's more expensive but yeah fk thornmail.

If you has 200+ armor, try adding a Thornmail to it and watch the AD's go QQ.
I'd not recommend it always, but it's fun to see fed AD's kill themselves on your shell.

Well I'm talking specifically about building it on an AD carry as a defensive item. If you wanna build it on tanks then go nuts, it's pretty good vs a heavy AD team when you have a lot of health and armour to support the passive.
