(Junglers) Warriors Enchantment Stacking Armor Penetration

I didn't notice this until a game ago, but apparently item 3707 Warriors Enchantment stacks with Brutalizer built items. The reason why is because the flat armor penetration on the Warriors Enchantment is no longer a unique passive, which means it can stack with Brutalizer, Ghostblade, and Black Cleaver for a total of 20+ flat armor penetration.

Was this actually meant as a way to give junglers a little bit more damage if they did stack the items? Or was it simply a mistake that was overlooked upon building the new enchantment? Any thoughts on this?

I don't see what the problem is, if it didn't stack that would mean you would lose a large amount of reasoning for building those items. Also I would like to point out that item 3071 item 3142 item 3134 all give independent armor penetration passives now. You can build both GhostBlade and Black Cleaver and the passive will stack, because they no longer have the same unique passive after finalizing as the Brutalizer does.

The best way I can explain it is that unique passive with a name will not stack, the best example I can think of for this example is Spell Blade passive that comes from the sheen line of items. This means that even if you built Sheen, trinity force and Lichbane you would only be able to use the Spell Blade passive from one of them.

However if a passive is unique but not named then those stats will stacks with items of a different name. So Brutalizer items can ALL STACK together for a total of 50 possible base armor penetration using item 3134 item 3714 item 3142 item 3071

Unique Passives only mean you can't build that same item to stack it, but flat pen on different items would still stack. The reason the jungle item doesn't say it's unique is because you're already limited to buying only one, so stating it is unique is rather pointless if you're not allowed to buy a 2nd one.

Well it allows people to use different builds for different situations so it was probably a mistake.
