Unique: Dealing physical damage to an enemy champion Cleaves them, making you penetrate their armor by 6% for 8 seconds, stacking up to 6 times for a maximum of 36%. works only for melee champions

there you go. bruisers buffed nicely, adc's don't have free last whisper just because they have xin zhao in their team, but they still can build Black Cleaver if they want some damage, cdr and kiting potential. it also won't break assassins, as they don't aa much

about yasuo abusing it - just revert the buffs for him

I'd rather see the stacks apply no matter what, but have it so damage from the owner of Black Cleaver is only effected by the stacks if the owner is melee. That way something like a support Ashe could take it, but said Ashe woudn't have their own damage boosted by it.

I am thinking along some similar lines and if you'd care to participate in our little brainstorming session we'd love to have your thoughts on the matter and some more bruiser itemization issues here:

What adc besides lucian and miss fortune builds black cleaver anyway? Why not just cap the stacks like they are now for ranged, and increase it for melee? Like phage passive.
