if killing a unit with q refunds half its mana cost like on the pbe, then no it wont be worth it.

A resounding "No" on GP manamune.

There are very few champions who's abilities and kits ca make Manamune a legitimate purchase, because as an item it's pretty bad.

Ezreal / Urgot and a few others might be in the category.

But with the new patch Gangplank can now farm with Parrrley reaping in the bonus gold at the low cost of mana. So wouldn't you just be stacking up Tear of the Goddess with how many times you use Parrrley? Cause it's now virtually free.

I build Manamune on Ezreal sometimes, but it's kinda the noobish way to build him imo :P

Yorick and Manamune is like peas and carrots.

Urgot is good with it, but I prefer to skip it most of the times and just go The Brutalizer, Frozen Heart and Maw of Malmortius.

I guess Corki could use it, but it's probably not the best item for him :P

Corki doesn't need to spam so it's not the best on Corki.

I think people are failing to realize that Ezreal with infinite mana is like... Amazing.

What does Corki get out of infinite mana? Not that much really...

I like it on Yorick.

I sometimes get it on Urgot.

I suppose you could get it on Ezreal.

Idk who else. It's not a really great item most of the time. Most AD casters are manaless.

EDIT: Of course you could save yourself the trouble if you just jungle Ez and take all the buffs. :D

Manamune + Frozen Heart on Urgot is OP.

What is your build path though? Tear first for insta rush? or double doran>manamune?

I just couldn't imagine sacrificing my early game stats for infinite mana on such a potentially snowbally champ.

In my opinion, the only way to have a viable Manamune build, you would just need to be stacking mana whilst finding other stats.

Example: Manamune + Frozen Heart + Banshee's Veil + Trinity Force = 3475 mana = 69.5 AD + items = 119.5 AD (11670g)
1000 mana = 20 AD

For that price, you get relatively good defence for an AD Carry, but giving up your ability to hyper-carry. Trinity gives you a lot of the utility you are lacking by not going with a traditional ADC build.

Conclusion (for me): Manamune is a viable option if I have spam abilities and don't need to be the main carry for my team. Or I just don't want to entirely rely on everybody else to protect me. Or I'm Yorick.
