I think Lucian's gonna take somewhat of a hit just based on this bugfix, along with other champs that end up building both. Why was this a thing? Lmao.
ModKnightsKemplar4 votesIt's in the bug-fixes section for a reason. It wasn't an intended interaction at all.
Bugs are a thing because coding is hard. And I don't think this is going to hit anyone terribly hard, tbh. It's a one-time use with a long cooldown. The slight increase in armor reduction was rarely going to decide fights. They will still both proc on all autos, which is where Luc's power comes from with those two.

You answered your own question. It was an unintended interaction that they fixed.

Why the bug was a thing, or the item synergy?
Bugs pop up, and people don't notice. Until someone thinks that combining those two items might actually work.
Kinda the weird thing about these two items is, back when Riot decided to revert BC back to the Kindlegem recipe, (Trying to cement it more as a Juggernaut item) They also nerfed the passive on Giant slayer. On the basis that the HP discrepancy should be higher before the damage amp kicked in. The reasoning behind that adjustment was to remove synergy from the two item. Because BC countered Armor, and Giant Slayer countered health, it wasn't a Healthy combination. And now we have the same problem with BotRK, because it also counters health.
ProfDrDeath1 votesThe issue with Lord Dominik's and Cleaver was not that it countered health, in itself.
Rather, the problem was that the combination took out a huge amount of Armor (more than 50%, usually) and still countered Health.
