"Because, no, they couldn't make a new item, they had to mess up things."

All that would do is force them to nerf both versions of the Cleaver to prevent abuse of the stacked cases. You'd actually end up worse off.

Besides, it synergizes decidedly better with Kayle now. No attack speed and the armor penetration is wasted, but there's also less wasted attack damage for your on-hit build and CDR to increase uptime on your E.

The additive percentage reduction at five stacks means it shreds exactly 40% of the opponent's armor instead of 15% + 45, so there's less overall reduction unless they have over 180 armor.
