Does Cull actually exist?

I haven't seen it since a Draven who knew he was going to stomp regardless. I mean, I don't think anyone can deny that it's a pretty bad item. 450g and a commitment of at least ten minutes for a net gain of 130g is lackluster at best.

Riot added it presumably to offer more choice in starter items, except it's completely shit. It doesn't build into anything like item 1082 does, its stats are pretty bad, and it really doesn't reward you for your effort at all.

Most champs except maybe Nasus Tryndamere would be better served buying item 2033 or a Doran's item.

TBH pretty much anything would make Cull a better item. Increase the sell value. Make it build into something. Give it an active. Anything, man.

I wouldn't mind if they adjusted it to be similar to the old Elesia's Miracle in that it is consumed after a certain point but you retain the affects permanently.

You would essentially be trading the combat stats of Doran's Blade for a permanent +5 AD and +3 life on-hit. While you may have to adjust the gold returned (maybe make it similar to what you get for selling Doran's Blade back, it might work.

I would not recommend getting it on Nasus or Tryndamere though. Tryndamere's crit chance results in significant healing from lifesteal while Nasus is better served with Cloth Armor or Ruby Crystal as his starting item. Heck, Nasus honestly works better with Doran's Blade than Cull since it provides additional bulk and lifesteal applies to his Q.

I think they should consider giving it the Eleisa's Miracle treatment. After getting the 300G, the item is consumed and you gain the stats permanently.
