"you can still try the normal ad top laner build ( riven, garen...)"

Riven and garen have AD scaling and synergize well with armor penetration. Thresh has 1 AD scale attack that needs to be staggered by 5-6 seconds and deals magic damage. In addition to this, his ability to control a lane is poor since his one aoe nuke has smaller base damage and serves much better use as a disengage or movestop.

Thresh can go top, but he's not going to be an esepcially popular choice considering the many drawbacks he faces.
