If you're a typical ADC who focuses completely on autoattacks (i.e., , ) then yes, it would be a horrible pick, as the CDR/Mana restoration would be mostly wasted. If you're a caster ADC like, and , all of whom heavily rely on spells to deal damage, this is going to be a dream, especially if you pair it up with.

Depending on how you scale, though, will win in some cases, and not in others. If you have lots of time to charge up a and/or are very dependent on AD ratios (i.e. ), Manamune's going to be your prime choice, but if you tend to be a very spammy caster who needs to land spells as quickly as possible then Reaver's going to be the better pick.
