also it is a buff from the original idea 4/7 ~riot axes The Black Cleaver Phage + Kindlegem + 825 gold (3000 gold total) +400 Health +40 Attack Damage +20% Cooldown Reduction UNIQUE Passive: Dealing physical damage to an enemy champion Cleaves them, reducing their Armor by 5% for 6 seconds (stacks up to 6 times, up to 30%). UNIQUE Passive - Rage: Dealing physical damage grants 20 movement speed for 2 seconds. Assists on Cleaved enemy champions or kills on any unit grant **80 **(60 live) movement speed for 4 seconds instead (2 live). This movement speed is halved for ranged champions.
based around: "The Black Cleaver is an item that’s been in a pretty rough spot for a while: when it’s cost effective, it makes you good at killing, well, anyone, since it gives strong burst tools through flat armor penetration, along with tank-busting power with armor shred (anyone remember League of Cleavers?). Because of these issues, we've had to tune the item accordingly, which has left is pretty mediocre at both jobs (bursting folks vs. shredding tanks).
That brings us to today. Right now we're setting out to give the item a more cohesive identity. Specifically: tank busting. We're giving TBC more max shred and a new set of stats that are best used by champions longer combat patterns – with more CDR and health, plus a movement passive – at the cost of reduced attack damage and removed flat armor pen. This should allow The Black Cleaver to be a genuinely powerful option in certain scenarios without just dominating every situation. "
Black Cleaver was overly expensive with a too steep combine cost?
Also, removing MS from the boot enchants gives room to buff other MS centric effects.
Waiting to finally combine BC was almost as bad as waiting to get a BF sword
On /r/rivenamins riot scarizard stated they were working on changes to black cleaver as it wasn't in a good spot right now and they are looking to improve it, but if i would have to say why it's because the cost was too much for what the item is supposed to do.
