If I buy Blackcleaver and Lastwhisper will I have 60% armor penetration?
Or is it something weird like with Irelia's tenacity

no, for both practical and mathematical reasons.
Think about it this way, I reduce the clothes on my wife before i penetrate her.
Its a hell of a lot easier to do without clothes on than with clothes on.
no, for both practical and mathematical reasons.
its actually exactly like irelias tenacity, as tenacity stacks multiplicative.
To discuss it in tankie meta terms.
I have built both BC and Lastwhisper for 3000 + 2300 = 5300 gold
My tankie dps opponent has bought a Thornmail for 2100 gold with 100 armor because he is a tank he gains armor more than other champs as he levels. Maybe he has a passive armor or Damage Absorb ability too (who knows).
Either way when that Tankie dps gets to max level he has about 200 Armor and my dmg is doing half of what it should be (granted I get all my stacks on him from black cleaver) ((--Note: 100 MR or 100 AR does results in halfing your damage if you have no penetration)
This is what riot calls balanced.
But oh wait!!! from no where the wild Tankie DPS is Cho or Garen with their True dmg ult.
LoL no worries tanks don't do damage pffft am I right?
Morello and his team: "Lets nerf burst mages more. " wheeeeeeeeee
garens ult deals magic damage. i think you were talking about darius.
also, you could see it from the tanks perspective. black cleaver + last whisper makes half his armor useless, and he still blows up in seconds to the adc lategame, even though he invested in defenses over the entire game. and youre complaining about balance?
Weird like tenacity. It stacks multiplicatively not additively. So it will bring you around 50% ish at max stacks of Cleaver.
No, you will have 30% armor reduction (at 6 stack) and 35% armor penetration. It equals to [1 - (1-0.3)*(1-0.35)] *100% = 54.5% Armor Penetration.
