I kinda have to agree Kimchi. In most situations, for most champions, this item simply yields no passive. Instead build it because you don't want to lose the Mpen and got no more slots. I finished this once on Xerath after I had and, because I had problems with a Trundle defeating all of our team. I think I did a 30 second fight against Trundle, and the damage from was just so negligible, I didn't even get him to 30%.

But even without a passive, only with its and, this item still would be fine. If you're up against an ADC with only as MR item (and of cause the +12 MR from runes, +15 from aura), having those +15 Mpen adds roughly 10% to your damage (given that you have,  and Mpen Quints}}

That's the big joke behind this item. Would the passive actually be as effective as one would expect, this item would counter both squishies and tanks. And with that, balancing certainly would go to hell.
