^that's, because that MKN guy has no clue what he is talking about. Trying to be a smartass, utterly failing by stating wrong information and even being a condescending dick about it.

'''Auras still stack like they always have been. This has nothing to do with named unique passives or actives.'''

The named uniques were just a name convention introduced by riot to avoid too long tooltips (see the patch history of Sheen, TF and Lichbane and you'll understand what I mean). It may not be intuitive for Auras to be working the way they do, but here it goes:

You buy an aura item. You get two auras. One aura that only applies to you and one aura that only applies to your team. Basically you have two auras, but initially you receive it only once (the "you" aura) and your team receives the "team" aura. If someone else in your team gets an item with the same aura, they will emit the "team" aura as well. Since the "team" aura applies to that particuliar someone's team (which you are part of), you will now have both auras.

Named uniques don't interact with this, as I'll try to explain in a more complicated example:

You (A) get Aegis of the Legion. Another team mate (B) gets Runic Bulwark. Both provide different auras, but they happen to have the same name, so only the strongest will be applied. You will get the weaker version of the "Legion" aura of Aegis for yourself and emit that same weaker aura to your team. Your team mate with the Runic Bulwark, however, will emit the stronger version of the "Legion" aura.

These are the corresponding active auras on each team mate:

A and B: Aegis + Runic Bulwark

C, D and E: Runic Bulwark.
