You've got a point, about the "keeping up with the enemy to prevent snowballing" part. I've actually met Nasus and Jax with this build, and yeah they were troublesome because they win trades with superior burst. Without jungler support, they might even force me out of lane allowing them to push tower.

This is why i'm not sure solotop is the way to go with this build. Then again, the only other logical role is jungle, except with boots delayed that much, ganks would probably suck. or you get them early, but you delay everything else.

Maybe 2 gp5 items could suffice, it probably fixes these flaws. I'm gonna try that out.
