A thread I've seen inspired me to write this idea, so this is it.
Would it be okay to have cull give you 1 to 2 gold per minion kill and 200 to 300 for every 100 minions without disabling the passive. Would this make the item better for those late game champs it was meant for?
its already an item that pays for itself.. xD Sure.. why not.. :3
i think the gold generation of cull accomplishes what it was meant to, but its combat stats are lacking: doran's blade is just better for trading AND sustaining in lane, to the point where the reason most people other than 
buy cull (to gain some gold halfway through a matchup they expect to have trouble with) gets magnified as they lose the matchup even worse than they would have if they'd just gone doran's.
what they'll probably do (they've mentioned buffing cull) is add 2 ad to the item so that it trades slightly better with doran's blade, while still giving doran's the overall, punch-for-punch edge
I don't ever buy Cull as a starting item because of its lackluster stats. I only ever buy it when I am quickly clearing waves in order to acquire the bonus gold for champions who can benefit from it the most.
