Urgot and Tear of the Goddess

I'm an Avid Urgot player and have noticed improper functioning of Tear of the Goddess in such a way:

The item does not add stacks upon spell cast or mana expenditure, at least for the first cast; it will usually take two casts to get the stacking effect rolling.

Also, it seems as if some sort of timer within the item resets if you don't actively keep the stacks rolling (i.e. expending mana or casting spells). This makes a an already difficult, unforgiving champion even more so and less efficient.

ALSO, I am fully aware of the "can only occur every 8 seconds," and actively watch for this CD on the item so as not to waste mana.

Are you using the cooldown animation as a confirmation for casting spells or expending mana? If so, then you are misunderstanding how the stacking mechanic on tear of the goddess works.

You might want to check over tear's description. The effect can occur 2 times in 8 seconds. At any given time, tear can hold at most 2 charges. The cooldown animation won't show unless you are at 0 charges. If you only use 1 of your 2 charges it won'the play the animation, but it will continue to generate a new charge.

Next time you buy a tear of the goddes, try this:

Hover your mouse cursor over the item in your inventory and take note of the mana gained so far.
Move the cursor away from the item
Use 1 ability
Hover the cursor over tear again and compare the values.
Repeat steps 1-4; however, this time use 2 abilities in quick succession to make the cooldown animation play.
