Hi! I play in ranked and i'm trying to main Gangplank. I know that everyone use corrupting potion or refillable potion + Sapphire crystal to start the game but i was thinking about gang's Q gold income and i start to think if this gold income + Cull could be better to farm in early game..

So what do you think about it ?

you will run oom quick = no gold income from Q you can buy cull first buy if you are in a safe lane

Hmm interesting idea, I rarely take cull on ANY champ.

I honestly believe that in lvl 1, the combat stats provided by dorans is much more valuable than the potential investment in cull.

Think about it - cull gives you 350 gold (or something? Idk never build it) but first blood gives you that much instantly.

So personally, for my playstyle, I take offesnive items/runes etc and try to first blood the oponent at lvl 1. This is a much better investment than cull.

Also Cull doesnt provide much combat stats and you're stuck in a passive playstyle. I hate it and I would rather buy dorans any day on any champ in any situation. (I hate farming / last hitting/ playing passively. I think that playstyle is very boring. I like to brawl and fight, thats how I enjoy league the most).

Just my 2 cents cheers.

Too risky. People will punish you hard.

If I need extra gold in lane as GP, I'll get the bandit mastery. Mainly because I kinda suck at last hitting.

yeah its completely fine. I think it might be better in matchups where you expect to win lane. If you're playing against a lane bully, you'll still be fine if you have tp.

I would say you should never start cull first item out of base with ANYONE

It's perfectly acceptable to by first back but should never be your starting item
