If I was facing a Victor building like that, my first thought would be to prevent him from getting blue buff at all cost, even if it means the enemy ADC gets it; so I can push my lane and roam without having to worry about being followed and snowball off the ganks until I can just faceroll the Victor and take his tower.

Saying it's nulified is indeed a bit of a hyperbole, but the spirit of the mechanic is there. Gravity field requires you to stay in it for it to stun, with upgraded boots most champs can walk out of it before it stuns. It's not a big problem if you are the one bursting because you can cut their escape route with the lazer forcing the enemy to predict where you will aim it; but when they are running towards him it becomes Victor's job to predict the location of the opponent and that's much trickier if they have decent mobility.

That build is 100% legit IMO; and it doesn't have any more strength or weakness than any other low-mobility glass-cannon AP burster like Veigar, Brand, Zyra or Malzahar beyond the mana reliance; namely squishy (solved by remaining at max range and lazoring from afar) and vulnerable to aggression due to the lack of reliable CC (solved by having a friendly neighborhood Naut to peel for you).
