If you manage your Mana well, you shouldn't need Tear. If you do intend to, you shouldn't build it after Rylais... should be first item. And Morello's is more early game item as well.

If you play with your range, you should be able to go Shoes, 3 Doran's Rings, Deathcap, Rylais, Void, getting Blue Buff after lvl 9. Assuming you also have Mana Regen Seals.
