Depends the who vs who. Like getting a deso on Luna just to get the minus armor is not good overall since she gets the damage mostly from attacking fast, just as an example.
reducing armour is less effective at higher armour values. u shouldn't get ac or deso just because the opponents have high armour, if you get ac it's usually for multiple reasons, not just because ur reducing the enemy's armour by -5.
desolator's strong in the mid game because armour values are lower. armour reduction is most effective in terms of relative damage increase when you're reducing your opponents to about 0 armour, so it works well with carries that also peak at around that time and have mainly physical damage e.g. pa, weaver, ta
if ur opponent has high armour just build ur normal late game like daedalus / bloodthorn. the average damage increase from the crits will increase your damage more than -5 or -7 armour.
Why would you get minus armor items against high armor targets
Minus armor items are most efficient against low armor targets
So you either get raw damage items (daedalus, MKB, bloodthorn, etc) or mjolnir depending on the hero
Basically what this guy is asking is why do we see so many naixs, legions who rush deso even against high armor targets when your support can do the same job with just a fucking medal? Mjonir is great vs high armor targets and it's also a farming item too that doesn't fall off late game.

Mjollnir or -Armor items (AC, Deso)?
