To be honest I just can't understand how you can play him without some sort of additional mana regen. I always pick Tear cause it just allows you to stay in lane forever to stack your Q and it costs only 700 gold and you don't need to upgrade it immediately to Archangel. I usually go Doran's-Tear-DFG-Rabadon's-Archangel-Zhonya-Void Staff. And of course magic pen shoes. Not always in this order of course. Sometimes I get Void Staff earlier if the enemy team starts to stack MR. I usually end with about ~1100 AP in the late game.

It's so ridicilous how easy he is to play in solo Q, at leat that's what I think. All you need late game is to find one or even two people and just erase them and then suddenly it's 4vs5 or 3vs5.

And even if you don't do that, he can still burst someone down quickly in team fights, especially AP users.

And with all of that, you still have safety of Zhonya's and a big shield from Archangel's.
