Why does tear stack faster than Manamune?

So the upgrade to Archangel makes you lose the +1 mana every 8 seconds but you gain double stacking from spells. With Manamune, you gain mana gain on auto's and again lose the +1 mana every 8 seconds. Problem with that is that if you were already getting max stacks (keeping it constantly off cd) you actually just lost stacking power by upgrading...

It's a lot easier to constantly proc the mana stacks using autoattacks instead of casting abilities. You'll gain a stack pretty much every time you attack a minion.

That entirely depends on the champ.

Urgot for example can easily proc tear with accid hunter, so upgrading is somewhat of a tradeoff.

You can proc the stack just as easily with spammable abilities, but you still have a limit to your mana pool. You can autoattack infinitely, but you are eventually going to run out of mana if you are spamming spells to charge Tear of the Goddess or its upgrades.
