Warmogs or Randuin's first?
Since BORK is running its thing (oh noes, not another BORK thread!!), I'm surprised to see that top-laners are still building 
Warmog's Armor early than say Frozen Heart or Randuin's Omen. If it truly is "the league of BORK", then why not just rush its counters earlier? Besides, it'll shut down a few top-laners anyways, like Teemo, Xin Zhao, and Fiora.
I understand that you only need so much armor in a game (the scaling is no longer gold efficient past 100 or 200 armor) b/c Damage multiplier = 100 / (100 + Armor).
But still, why not rush the armor early and get the health later specifically to counter those champions building BORK? It's not that hard to check when someone's building it in lane either; Vampiric Scepter only builds into Ravenous Hydra and Blade of the Ruined King (top-lane).

BotRK got a massive buff and warmog's got some pretty nerfs over the course of a couple patches, I think it's pretty safe to go for early randuins, it's only 300g more
Barely anyone builds hydra though, except maybe GP (rare). More likely a Bloodthirster.
But anyway, just wait, people will catch on, they are merely sheep, one professional players start counterbuilding instead of just rushing Warmogs/BotRK they will follow.
More like Elise's Suicidal Spiderlings, than sheep.
