PSA: Stop buying Tear of the Goddess on Veigar

In all of League of Legends, this one thing makes my blood boil. It's not a good item on Veigar in pretty much every situation. Veigar can get pretty scary in the mid-game by going a Mana Regen item (item 3174/item 3165) and some AP item, but Tear delays his power-spikes too hard in my opinion, not to mention going Tear means you either give up the 20% CDR of the Mana Regen items (a very worthy stat on Veigar for low stun CD) or giving up an AP Item. It's not TERRIBLE, but Veigar's alternative options seem to make more sense on him, as you don't even need the late game strength of item 3048 as Veigar's late game without it is terror enough.

as a veigar main, tear is an OK start, where its preferred to rush codex into morello and farm as needed. -> then full large ap items

tear is just a more passive start, in which you go tear -> CDR -> large ap item -> completed arch angel staff as a third item.

the later start is technically better for the end game scenario, and you are banking on the late stage team fight, its a viable start, however dont you dare say tear is inferior, its not, its just that in league of snowballs veigar is a dead champion anyway and you need to be a god among men to pull him off. (or the enemy just doesn't care, and lets you free farm with making no attempts at your life)
