Today’s patch brought another new item to the table in the form of Manamune, an Archangel’s staff for physical damage dealers. You can see the stats in the screenshot here (I think this is the same version that went live) and as far as champions are concerned, I’d bet a lot of people are going to love this thing. I played against a Janna today, for instance, who got both this and Archangel’s. She lost, but it was still interesting, and she hit pretty hard.
I think we’ll see just about every Ezreal player get this, and likely a lot of Kog’Maws as well. It could be good for just about any hybrid damage dealer, but I think most of the carries will avoid it. it doesn’t suit the high damage/high attack speed build that most carries favor. The one exception might be someone like Corki, but even with him, the benefits of casting diminish quickly as his auto attacks become stronger.

I don’t know why but I like the concept of hybrid toons (even ones that shouldn’t) and this just screams hybrid to me. I’m thinking after Zhona’s, Nashors and boots on Sion this might be an awesome 3rd item to really boost the dmg though I can’t really say it would be better than an Atmas (I usually prefer a RoA or Abyssal rather than Nashor’s and play straight AP). Now I’m wondering if a hybrid Yi would work…
I was just playing as Ezreal yesterday (ended up 14/4 even though we were down at the the beginning), and was thinking he could use an item like this. XDD
