Whats up with Manamune? Can it get another rework?

Obviously For some reason you made him not reliant on this item (and now he's annoying af) Only buys it to spam Q but only his ult proc it (I think it does) I think I saw this guy in a game a few weeks ago (oh yea cause I played him). I've never seen him build this Never seen him give up early game damage or build this I rarely saw him prerework and thats the only time he built it I've never seen her build this Really? Who is building this on these champs?? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^??

I think it really comes down to the "only applies on single target spells" part. How many AD abilities are really single target? Then also on a mana hungry champ? Then also on one that wouldn't be better off buying a sheen?

What if it was like Rylais and had reduced effectiveness on aoe spells?

They'll probably phase it out to be honest. Essence Reaver kinda does its job just fine if you ask me.

My problem is ER was reworked to adc's and crit. Casters can't get any use out of the item. And thats were Manamune comes in but it just fails.

It's a late game scaling item for a stat that's pretty much early to mid outside of marksmen. Unlike Archeangels staff, which technically scales better because there are more mana items for mages late.

It just doesn't seem to scale that well. Like I said, not many AD casters get any use out of it on their spells due to the "single target/unit" part. Sure if they can smash a few autos in there then it helps...

That's the problem, it's meant to be a late game scaling item but it's built in characters that fall off late.

It defeats itself.

Now I'm not sure how to make it better because many of its users build it to solve their mana issues, so it can't be too good early.

One idea could be making it build from tear and sheen and give it a spellblade that scales off of your mana.
