So many silver 5 Myths...

Man, when you waste a lot of mana in a Short amount of time you build a big mana pool instead of sustain.

Athene's is for champions that have to constantly spam their skillshots, in other words, poke champions that do not deal massive amounts of damage in short time. Hell, karthus' E does not scale with CDR (it did before).

Athene's/ Morellonomicon : Nidalee, Ziggs, Xerath. Basically champions that need a mild boost to their spammability.

Tear: Kassadin, Karthus, Ryze, Anivia, Singed.

I don't like to use ad-populum, but these guys, they know what they are talking about. Now go watch some pros playing karthus and you'll see how ROA-tear combo is the standard, because of the insane amount of spammability and AP that it gives to karthus.
