If you dont get punished for going GP5s then sure, go for it. But its not gonna work against competent opponent. GP isnt ranged champion, you cant get all farm from distance, so if you cant fight for yourself you will get zoned from a lot of farm. And you will get zoned because you will lose trades, and you will lose them because you bought cost inefficient items that give irrelevant stats. In the end you will lose more money by giving up farm than you'll get fron gold items, unless game drags. But you also will give freefarm for your opponent by playing passively. And thats a good case scenario. Bad case is when you face someone with good engage moves and he will kill you again and again, and their jungler will come to kill you under your tower. Being passive is also plain lame, if it would work it would be nerfed by Riot(they did actualy) but it doesnt.
