I'd be on board with removing its armor pen, since raw damage is already a good way of hurting squishies more than tanks (tanks have more armor, and so can mitigate more damage). I also feel like there's a weird gap for a simple AD + CDR item, despite there being a CDR item for practically every other stat out there.

Now that TBC is getting reworked, I also think it might be a good time to change, which has pretty much the same issues as the Black Cleaver right now: its flat pen contradicts with its percent-health DoT effect, and for a late-game item its stats are terrible (50 AP and 300 health is something you'd expect on a component, not a full item). The fact that the flat pen comes from, which only builds into Liandry's, also just seems like another sign that the item needs a new build.
