Draven has many strengths, but his passive does not stand out as particularly powerful.

Getting gold when you farm, get kills, and don't die is great, but it looks a bit less attractive when other champions get actual stats and abilties from their innates, instead of just a small conditional buff to what every champion gets anyway.

50 gold from each kill is about as much as 2-4 minions, so not real impressive. The fact that you have to farm it up and then not die to have any meaningful effect is pretty sad, especially since it doesn't actually help you get kills.

Draven's old passive was flavorful, powerful, and fun, but due to balancing difficulties, it was scrapped in favor of this sad excuse for a passive.
