@ Penserhir, the problem is the unique on it is stacking, so a player with 2-3 BCs shreds the **** out of armor in 1 hit. It doesn't stack past the max limit, but it still shouldn't be allowed to have each BC activate the unique on hit. It might actually help fix this unbalance, if only the AD was a normal stat, and the rest were all unique, with the armor shred being an active.

Try showing off your wins when you have a build that isn't based on stacking 1 item over and over again. Showing variety in builds shows more skill and a better understanding of how this game could be balanced fairly.

the fact that Riot said they were reworking the items to diversify builds and make them more unique contradicts what they actually did. ANY AD champ right now basically builds 3 cleavers because its so broken....they need to make it unique or reduce some stats on it like they did to the gunblade

it just makes being a tank useless because they shred through your armor

You get more burst with Black Cleaver, and you get survivability and CDR.

In many ways, item builds are the part of this game that is most like Chess. You have to think ahead, watch your opponents moves, and counter them. It's one reason I'm getting so sick of people in TT freaking out if their team doesn't have a tank. You don't always need a tank. Especially if you know how to counter build. So learn all the items your champ can utilize, and never commit to 1 exact build.
Thats part of the problem. The BC stacking gives you huge burst, cdr AND suvivability. Focusing a Jarvan, Panth or Garen instead of the AD carry is never a good idea, but those champs with double black cleaver will shred your team while you focus the ad carry.

Bruisers were already stupidly hard to kill and doing tons of damage before, black cleaver redesign just maks them OP as hell.

And if double BC is used on an assasin like talon, you wont have time to focus him before he shred you to pieces.

so im running numbers right now, and im using Rammus as a model....no runes, just masteries

with Rammus' W active, and having built Thornmail, the armor boots, randuin's omen, sunfire cape, frozen heart, and GA, he has 530.25 armor.

if the opponent has just 1 BC built, and no other armor pen, the armor for each successful hit that gets ignored is
1st 62.42 (0 BC stacks)
2nd 102.19 (1 BC stack)
3rd 141.96 (2 BC stacks)
4th 181.73 (3 BC stacks)
5th 221.50 (4 BC stacks)

now, add another 15 onto each of those numbers for each BC they build after the first. if they build 4 cleavers, thats over half of his armor ignored after the first attack only, PLUS thats 200 AD and 1k HP to boot. the passive and the ArP on it should be unique just so theres not so much armor being ignored after 1 hit

I play garen alot, and im going to tell you right now if you build 3 BC's and you cannot kill that Garen before he has time to finish one spin, your not doing something right. I only build 1 , if you build 3 your not going to be tanky enough to do anything.

It's BS really, I've lost nearly every game since the patch because Garen and Pantheon players are building nearly just these. Even one is too strong.
Garen's spin procs the armor shred??!?!?!

Noone builds that much armor. Irrelevant. If you are building that much armor, you are just dumb. Because health becomes more important once you get a certain amount of armor and MR.
