I have more succes taking Blood Price/Thirst at level 1 against strong top laners like Riven and Tryndamere because I get to sustain IMO.

Riven's lvl 1 damage from her Q is easily won over taking W early, blood price deals surprising damage to her and after her lvl 1 Q combo is done I can sustain with Blood Thirst making me win the trade.
