So I just played a Pantheon game with Manamune

We won, though we probably shouldn't have (It's a normal game so you can see it in my match history). I wanted to test out item 3004 again because I feel it would be a good item on Pantheon. But by the end of the game I still wasn't able to cap it (I think I had around 587 mana from it).

My build to utilize this was as follows: item 3004 item 3110 item 3025 and then items for the match. By the end of the match I had around 302 AD (I built item 3156 for the Azir and AP Lucian) which was fine. But it was still weird to not have it upgraded by now. In my experience with item 3003 I always seem to transform it (course I've only built it on Karthus). Is the AP version suppose to be better than the AD version in terms of capping?

And another question I'd like to ask about item 3004. I know a lot of people want it to be more viable, but would a viable manamune be healthy for the game? People buy it on champions like Jayce and Yorick who have very powerful early games and are held back by their low mana pool and/or high mana costs. The item is meant to solve their mana problems, but it is too much of a late game item. If it was viable, wouldn't it cause problems with the very champions it is meant to help by making them too strong in the early game and making them stronger in the late?

I wouldn't buy it on Pantheon.. you wana end the game as quickly as possible meaning AD early is ur best option.

I know. That's why I was experimenting to find ways around his mana problems.

You could get the Meditation mastery if you are desperate for mana. I think a lot of pros actually max E first for easy thunderlords proc. However, when i play pantheon i usually only throw Qs after i put a point into it.

So, lvl 1.. Throw Qs, lvl 2, dont throw Qs, lvl 3, get Q throw Qs, lvl 4 get E dont throw Qs, lvl 5 get Q throw Qs. Usually helps
