Is cull worth it on adcs?

Every time I see an adc get cull, i know that adc is fairly useless in a fight early on and i try to abuse it. I see adcs taking it in silver and since they can't cs sometimes they don't even finish stacking it before the game ends. When you're ahead it seems like it'll slow down your snowball in bot lane and when you're behind it seems like admitting you will be zoned from cs for a long time. When is cull any good in bot lane?

One thing to add I see cull much more often in lower elos than higher.

It's not terrible. While you have less than 100 ad it heals more and only has 1 less and doesn't have the health.

It's a pretty greedy start item, but if you plan on just farming until 15 mins it's pretty good

No, it's a bad item, just don't ever buy it.

I'll take cull if they get bot turret down very early and I know I have to farm back into the game anyways. I'm talking those nasty 4-man dives at 7 minutes where your team just kind of lets it happen.

I guess its good for low elo since they don't know how to harass properly. Well if they have a brand support than dorren blade is much better for sure.

i recommend getting it when you have a relic shield support but otherwise the buffs from enchanters make dorans more appetizing.

It kinda suffers from the same problem Tear does. By the time you've finished stacking it, the game is already over. Cull is something you'd only take in a farm lane, but because games end so quickly these days, snowballing is super important. You can't snowball the early game very well with a Cull start, and farm lanes are practically non-existent because an ADCs get their powerspikes sooner.
