BT's not always going to be fully stacked, it's a gamble in terms of effective stats. Also, as I said before, you completely negate the fact that Tiamat into Hydra is so much better for practically everyone in lane due to its build path. Having to wait for 1550 to even get anything out of your gold is just you asking to lose lane, especially in top lane where most of the champs we're talking about will be.

Also, as a melee, you're not going to get the luxury of just auto attacking for 10 seconds straight like you would if you were an ADC in a teamfight.
