Black Cleaver's Cleave passive need to be removed

I would recommend to remove this BC and form the new item without "cleave" passive because 90% of AD bought it therefore it's standard item. (try to play Ascension game that everyone bought BC)

UNIQUE: Dealing physical damage to an enemy champion Cleaves them, reducing their armor by 4% for 6 seconds, stacking up to 6 times for a maximum of 24%.

It will transform the enemy's armor into 190 from 250 so everyone can damage more...

I can't downvote this hard enough. Are you a Malphite main or something?

You realize that's the only reason you would buy the item is for the passive right? That's what makes it gold efficient enough to warrant taking an item slot. I think you're special.

That is black cleaver's purpose. It is a bruiser item that shreds armor.

If it did not exist then another item would be needed to fill the niche of 'bruiser item that counters tank items' because if you don't give some sort of counter to tankiness, tanks become completely unkillable and it makes games unbalanced because tanks become too good at tanking.

People dealing too much damage is not because of black cleaver, it is due to other balance issues.

BC's passive is not aoe. It is an on hit more or less, also yes, tanks can become unkillable, there is a reason, for example, that Sej has the nickname of Sejuani the Unkillable. Have you seen her in proplay? In the right hands some tanks become outright monsters to deal with, without some sort of armor shred item.
