" Urgot does not need a built in Tear every game to manage his mana costs, it's that simple."

Neither do Karthus, Anivia, Swain, Jayce, or any other mana-hungry champion you care to name. Although three of those can build Chalice and get away with that for a mana fix, even if that wasn't in the game, they wouldn't need it. The point, though, is that they're at their best when they can freely spam abilities in trades without fear of going OOM, because they're so very dependent on them.

Urgot practically is his Q and if you want to sustain barrages of that, Tear is perhaps the best and certainly the easiest way to solve it. It's that simple.
