I expected the manamune change to be a mini rework to make it a not Ezreal only item

I view it as:
Ezreal will always want Manamune and will have to be balanced around how strong the item is.
For everyone else, Manamune is too weak to even be considered, making it an Ezreal-only item. There is a value of AD where Manamune is worth buying on 10% of AD champions. Find that number, then balance Ezreal.
I think that's just fine. Kalista is the same with Hurricane, for example.
