i don't get the whole "black cleaver makes some assassins viable so it's ok" argument. TONS of assassins were played. the two top teams at IPL5 (WE and Fnatic) as well as M5 had strategies that revolved around assassins. what more do you want?
And postpatch all these MR options have been nerfed.

Bulwark is the only "good" item, and even then it's a giant chunk of change.

yea but there are far fewer champions that can abuse black cleaver than there were viable champions before the champ. the number of viable champs have severely decreased this patch

i was doing fine on Talon before patch, these black cleavers are a perversion of my expertise and hipsterism, I don't want Talon to become fotm. I was the 1% of players who picked him in ranked games, that was fun!

that does not matter. your base MR and the MR from runes/masteries is the majority of your MR. those stayed the same. you CANNOT penetrate that base 40-45 MR as easily as you did before. before you just needed sorcs + haunting guise. now you need sorcs + haunting guise + abyssal. that's MUCH less efficient

Agreed. Bruisers do true damage to most targets and the cost of increasing armor to beat black cleaver is the same at the penetration gained by another cleaver (or last whisper) as a 2nd item.....while they also get a damage increase.

Also why are you playing an AP? This is AD mid meta bro.

Agree with the op. Hotfix this game breaking item. It's almost as bad as the blitz bug and he was disabled.

HINT: DISABLE THE BLACK CLEAVER ITEM AT THE VERY LEAST!

Just one black cleaver makes the armor effective hp curve not worth it for tanks. It is impossible to itemize defensively against an AD bruiser and thus we have AD bruiser vs AD bruiser fights every game. Its a problem if the only counter is the thing your trying to counter.
