Open discussion on why you don't ever build Muramana on your champ?

I've gone though a list of champs who have single target/on-hit abilities and realized there are quite a few, yet only Ez ever build its.

If you main any of the champs below, please let me know why you never build or consider building Muramana on that champ? This is basically an open discussion to point out what is wrong with the item so riot can hear us.

(Bear in mind, even if the answer is obviously because its an AD item, I purposely included AP champs to also point out that they have single target skills, yet can't use muramana because it is AD only.)

Most of those champs have a low Mana pool or it would take way to long to stack it. But thats just my thinking

Ah yes, Akali Zed building item 3004 are DEFINITELY not trolling and totally 100% have mana bars.

Muramana sucks on almost every champion because they do not stack Tear very quickly, and the actual AD you get out of Muramana is pitiful - 25 + 2% max mana means you get around 55-70 AD... When you could be getting that same amount of AD + CDR and Lethality and a more effective active, or getting even more while also getting a huge multiplier to half of your attacks.

Tear stackers are rare because Tear itself is a gigantic waste of gold with no stats. Fiddlesticks, Kassadin, and Janna have the highest mana pool in the game but they never build Tear because they don't have any low cooldown abilities that can be freely spammed. Ezreal, meanwhile, has a 20-something mana spell he uses for both last hitting minions, and poke, that also reduces his other spell's CDs. He's a spellslinger, which is why every single Sheen item is balanced around Ezreal building it. Or, like Runeglaive, straight up removed because it couldn't even be viable without Ez taking it midlane and ruining the game.

tl;dr Delete Ezreal.

EDIT: I will add this - Blitzcrank can definitely build Muramana. His passive scales on his current mana, and he already pretty much builds Iceborn Gauntlet, thanks to having Trinity Force's passive already built into his kit (E) W cooldown is short and his ult CD is actually very low as well, meaning by the time he has a Tear, he can just spam ult off CD for wave clear while keeping his Q up due to its high mana cost (Cant afford to spam it). I've done it, and when that 340 AD Blitzcrank with a Duskblade hooks you from the brush and then pops 680 damage + 3% current mana to the face, it hurts. A lot. And then you think he's dead and suddenly he has a giant 600 HP shield and sprints away.

well half of these are ap champs and for most ad champs there are way better items for ad that you do not have to stack first, for instance if they really need some extra mana, they could go trinity force. I must say I do build it on kha'zix sometimes for fun and if they keep kai'sa q as a single target spell it might be pretty good on her.

Used to build it on old Yorrick and on jayce. Yorrick became moot because I hate his rework and jayce lost a lot of items I used to use that made it work ok.
