Balancing Black Cleaver: A Page of Essence Reaver's Book

So, how to make Cleaver worse on assassins while still being good on Juggernauts and other tanky dudes?

My idea would be, take a page out of Essence Reaver's book:

Reduce flat CdR to 10%. Add unique passive: For every 40 bonus health (beyond Cleaver itself), get 1% CdR. Capped at 10%, for a max of 20% granted by the item. Maybe reduce total cost by 200 gold, or increase AD by 5.

Jugg items with 400 HP: item 3742 item 3053 item 3065 item 3748

Assassin items with 400 HP: n/a

I can dig it.

I'm worried how this will effect the early presence of Fighters in lane, though, but I suppose they could probably be balanced on a case-by-case basis.

Not a bad idea.

This may be the best idea I've seen yet,

Riot has been in favor of stat binding, so I can see them doing this.

Why 20% instead of 30%?
