Black Cleaver

So I was fighting Malphite as Darius and realized his armor numbers were off after shredding.

The almost 3rd of his armor that should have been missing was a little less than a quarter.

Did some calculations to find out he had 26 more armor than he should have. Thought it was a bug, then I realized that Black Cleaver's shred was nerfed to 24%

You guys do know the entire point of this item was for bruisers to be able to reduce the armor of tanks enough to actually damage them, right? It also helps Marksmen.

For starters, this was nerfed over 2 years ago. You're a little late to the party on this one.

Second, they had to change the build path and armor shred amount because every fighter was building it in every scenario, regardless of if there were any tanks on the enemy team or not. Lee Sin, Irelia, Wukong, Darius, literally every toplaner and some midlaners were building it just for it's power.

Interesting. I think if they give it a higher stacking, less people could stick around long enough to abuse it.

Imagine non-satirically thinking Cleaver is too weak.

Darius also has 10% more armor pen so you still do more damage to him after level 13 than you did back then

Darius' innate was calculated into the formula.
