What I think Cull should be
They've said the item Cull
is in need of some changes, and I'd like to provide them a perspective on how I feel Cull should be. To me Cull should be a "catch-up" item for a player (even a jungler, for say bad ganks) if say they're getting poked out of lane but are not feeding hard. It should be a universal catch-up item not just for AD laners.
To make it a catch-up item and not just an item someone uses to widen there lead, buying it would have the prerequisite of not having a
,
, or
bought and in their inventory. That way you'd buy this to catch up gold wise but have to sacrifice the bonus health and damage gained from the Doran's items. Additionally this item could only be bought in the 1st 10 minutes of the game so as to prevent it from being abused late game.
It would now do the following:
Cull
+10 bonus damage to minions +5 health from basic attacks (not affected by grievous wounds effects)
Unique PASSIVE: Killing a minion grants 2 additional gold. Killing 50 minions grants an additional 300 gold and disables this passive.
Basically one of the issues if you fall behind in lane is by the 20 minutes you're like 10-20 CS behind your opponent and realistically you can get about 40-50 cs under heavy fire, this would make this item a good choice to help supplement your gold income if you're having a hard time in lane. The +5 health gain would help with heavy poke and would act as a source of sustain that is a good base amount but wont' lead to insane scaling from lots of AD; a tradeoff to buying this instead of a Dorans item.
PLEASE NOTE: this change would not be enough to come back from feeding in lane, so don't feed in the 1st 20 minutes. Feeding that early is toxic, selfish, and just plain stupid because theres about a 50% chance to fail, meaning that you just screwed over your whole team 50% of the time. Trying to get fed post 20 minutes is not as bad because your teammates have had an opportunity to get farm, so if you fail its not the end of your team.

nobody dying in that lane lol
