[COLOR="#cc8899"]Moonflair Spellblade changed to remove the "Ranged Only" tag on PBE.
So Tenacity, large amounts of MR and Armor, and AP...what melees would want that...
Now an interesting option for:
Diana (Uses every stat excellently)
Kayle, Nidalee, Elise now retain the stats in melee form. Still don't think it'd make it into their builds under normal circumstances though.
Skarner (The AP isn't ideal, but at least it scales with all of his skills and he LOVES resistances)
Cho'Gath (oh dear god Cho'Gath...) and to a lesser extent Galio stand out as absolute beasts with it.
Fizz (probably not ideal, too defensive an item for him)
Kassadin, maybe. Don't think it gives enough damage for him though, same issue as Fizz.
Malphite maybe. He'd probably rather get something else though. Same for Maokai.
I think Cho'Gath is probably the most beneficial case. He gets a ton of free HP from his ult, making Armor and MR very desirable for him. He's got decent AP ratios and can benefit from the scaling pretty well, and the tenacity helps him stick to people when his CC is down. There may be some abuse cases that aren't immediately obvious to me, but he seems the best fit for it. [/COLOR]
