A guide to what can be indicated on a champion's health bar. The health bar is a visual indicator that shows how much life a unit has. Other visual effects may also be present on the bar. For champion health bars, the display name may also be changed while the unit is under certain states.

Effective burst health, commonly referred to just as effective health, describes the amount of raw burst damage a champion can receive before dying in such a short time span that they remain unaffected by any form of health restoration (even if the actual considered damage is of sustained form). It can however include any form of health gain (such as from Nasus' Fury of the Sands). Effective sustained health, on the other hand, would take into account also champion's health restoration.
Unless champion's resists aren't unnaturally reduced below zero, any effective health will always be more than or equal to a champion's displayed health in their health bar and it can be increased by buying items with extra health, armor and magic resistance.
Depending on the type of damage taken, we can also speak of physical effective health, magical effective health or mixed effective health. Depending on a behavior of such source of damage it is also possible to speak of effective health relative to given subject/source of damage, for example magical effective health versus poke. Many poke team compositions with mixed overall damage usually heavily rely on a poke consisting of prevalent magic damage. Maximizing primarily magical effective health thus might be a valuable counterstrategy to weaken their poking phase as teamfight initiation relies upon it.
Effective health is a measure of the durability of a champion, taking into account their health as well as their armor and magic resistance. 'Sheer' forms of effective health are defined as health plus 1% of health for every point of armor (or magic resistance). Contrary to their simple formulas, mixed effective health uses a bit more complex one. Because of this, mixed effective health is always subject to the damage source and the proportions between particular three damage composites (with pure damage being regarded as true damage). The formulae are as follows:
•P h y s i c a l e f f e c t i v e h e a l t h = H e a l t h × ( 1 + 0.01 × A r m o r ) {\displaystyle \pagecolor{Black}\color{black}{\rm Physical\ effective\ health}={\rm Health} \times ( {1+0.01\times {\rm Armor}} )}
•M a g i c a l e f f e c t i v e h e a l t h = H e a l t h × ( 1 + 0.01 × M R ) {\displaystyle \pagecolor{Black}\color{black}{\rm Magical\ effective\ health}={\rm Health} \times ( {1+0.01\times {\rm MR}} )}
Some champions use Health as a resource to cast abilities. It is critical to note that champions can never kill themselves due to ability casting. This is because they will be left at 1 health if their current health is below the cost.
Abilities that cost health can be used even if the champion does not have enough health to pay for the cost. With the exceptions of Ivern's Friend of the Forest, which cannot be used if he does not have enough mana or health for the cost, and Soraka's Astral Infusion, which cannot be cast if she lacks the mana for the cost or if she is below 5% health.
While these champions can cast their abilities more freely than most, their disadvantage is that frequent ability usage will bring them closer to taking fatal damage.
Health costs ignore invulnerability as well as effects that prevent falling below a certain health value.
Champions who use their own health as a casting resource:
•Briar
Effects may benefit from (scale off of) a percentage/ratio, of current HP, missing HP, maximum HP, or bonus HP. Maximum health specifically can be modified by debuffs or buffs running out/being removed.
Grey health indicates the portion of damage that was recently taken, stored on the health bar. It is designated for certain champions' abilities. Effects based on health do not account for grey health.
Champions with grey health:
•Dr. Mundo ( Heart Zapper)
•Pyke ( Gift of the Drowned Ones)
•Rengar ( Battle Roar)
•Tahm Kench ( Thick Skin)
A unit that has a health threshold cannot exceed a certain amount of maximum health neither through healing nor health regeneration. If the unit is above the threshold at the time of being affected by it, their current health is reduced to the threshold.
Abilities that grant a health threshold:

Not sure if this classifies as a health bar thing, but since very recently (might be since this patch, maybe before) I've noticed that jungle camps no longer have a red patience bar when it's draining/low.
