When is the best time to buy a tear based item?

Assuming I'm using a champion with a ~ 4 second cd spell (like Ezreal/Kha), when would getting a tear be ideal? Early game relies on killing, mid game relies on killing, and late game relies on you already having your items to kill. None of these stages of the game rely on you QQing for damage.

When do you get a tear?

either first or second back or never. if you dont buy it within the first 10minutes you likely wont ever complete it. you cant afford to be scaling up in the mid game, you would have it done by late game(30ish minutes), but there are so many better options to buy than mana at that stage of the game.

So would I go YOLO Manamune or just sit on tear for these champions?

On the first recall. Champions who build tear should be able to spam skills to clear lane and avoid trading. (with exception of ryze and kassadin)
