Alright so, I really don't understand why people would want to buy item 1083 I mean its 450gold, it gives you 1 extra gold per minion killed and at 100 minions it gives you 300 gold.Ok I get that but, it isn't worth it...You spend 450 gold on the item in return it gives you 400 gold...It isn't even worth itself plus the stats it gives is kinda meh, but I don't see a reason to get it over item 1055 . And I know "but it returns 400 gold which means you spend only 50 gold on the item plus the gold generation on minion gold makes you have a lot more".Understandable but again that passive ends when you kill 100 minions and then what...Its useless after that. I don't know peoples preferences of itemization but I just feel like item 1083 isn't as good as item 1055 . So in conclusion I would just like to ask why would people want this item?I'm not trying to say it's horrible , I see it's use but I just don't understand why you would want it over item 1055 because I'm probably gonna need that 80hp because I'm a squishy adc and I need it.

Having a gold advantage is how you win this game. That's why people get it. If you're not going to be able to kill your lane opponent before the 10 minute mark, Cull is worth it. You'll have more gold than the enemy.

Edit: Although personally, I think Cull could /feel/ a lot better, too. It does feel like you're sacrificing stats rather than gaining gold when you rush it. I think in my games, I'm going to stick with the dorans start and pick up cull as a second item if I'm behind.

also it sells for 180 so you spend 450 at the start of the game and you get 580 by the time you reach 100 minions and sell. Which means that if you farm at the same rate as your opponent you will have 580 minus the cost of selling dorans over them.

It sells for 180 so in total you get 130 more gold from it. Plus yeah you get that gold spike advantage.
