The point is that there's simply no reason to weaken Viktor's excellent lane phase just for abou 200ish more AP come late game. You can stomp your lane AND stomp late. From your comparison, the loss of that 12 -minutes 80 AP is incredibly huge, and you make it sound like it doesn't even matter.

Furthermore, Viktor isn't even that good at stacking Tear, he has high cooldowns and high mana cost spells, which means that A) He cannot "spam", as in cds are too high, and B) If he tries to spam he'll run oom regardless of his Tear.

I don't even buy Athene's / Morello on him. I usually live with the mana from the Hexcore and blue buffs. One item I'd definitely like to try on him after the AP itemization changes is Rylai's. The 40% slow on his E sounds pretty neat, and the slow on his ulti would make it easier to make it stick to the enemy.
