Start with 2 Faerie Charms + potions. Stay in lane and get enough to get a boots of speed and complete the tear on your first recall. Do not use any of your spells to last hit minions except spell flux (use your Overload to last hit cannon minions to ensure that you don't miss them). Buy a ward on your first recall if you can.

Go back to lane, place the ward, and stack the tear as much as you can. Try to harass the enemy as much as possible but don't overextend or lose creeps over it. You probably won't be killing anyone without jungle assistance, so don't waste summoner spells unless you're sure you can kill. Space out your combo to maximize your tear.

Buy a catalyst as soon as you get enough money and stay in lane until you can afford to upgrade it to RoA. Depending on what the dominant damage source is from your lane and their team, buy a Negatron Cloak or a Chain Vest into Glacial Shroud. Keep farming and get tier 2 boots. Once you have a Rod of Ages and a Negatron Cloak/Glacial Shroud, get your manamune. It should have ~ 700 stacks on it if you've been last hitting with Q and harassing the other player well.

If you get a RoA, sorc boots, glacial/negatron, and muramana then you should be the most dangerous player from the time you get your items till the end of the game.
