Black Cleaver has solid stats all around, but recently it’s been purchased so frequently and is starting to become an item that is purchasable by any Attack Damage champion. To combat this, we’re making it more difficult to stack to push it more towards excelling in sustained combat and multi-hit spells.
Unique passive - Sunder
- Armor reduction per stack reduced from 5% to 4%.
- Maximum stacks increased from 5 to 6.
Black Cleaver has become a dominant first and second choice item for most fighters and even some assassins and marksmen as well. We’re cutting back on the amount of haste it grants to make the item focus more on raw combat power and less about being able to use your abilities more frequently.
General
- Ability haste reduced from 25 to 20.
Black Cleaver has been underperforming in comparison to other options like Trinity Force and Death's Dance in every slot for most fighters. We don't want to swing too far in the opposite direction, so we're cautiously giving it a light buff to help it compete.
General
- Attack damage increased from 35 to 40.
Black Cleaver is being overshadowed by Trinity Force too often. We are giving it a bump to help it keep up with the faster pace of the game and to diversify item build paths.
General
- Attack damage increased from 30 to 35.
Unique passive - Sunder
- Armor reduction per stack increased from 4% to 5%.
- Maximum stacks reduced from 6 to 5.
- Total armor reduction increased from 24% to 25%.
