Yes and No.

The stats are gold effiicient. It's very good on a guy who would battle it out against another in a duel such as Jax,Shyvana and so on and so forth. It also give you a good jungle clear so you can invade their jungle or clear your own when your jungler is busy with objectives or ganking. The ward is bonus and it is very sweet indeed.

On the other hand the stat are only good early to mid game. It won't nearly suffice or turn into any other item so investing in it would require a waste of certain amount of gold. Unless you take the full advantage of the fact that you have a unique passive and a ward,you won't nearly find it as effective as a Cutlass or a Taimat which help in persuit and wave clear,respectively.

The individual ward placed by it is worth 37.5 gold. If laning phase goes for 20 minutes,you will use it maybe 13 times at most. Which is basically 487 gold. Now if you are able to use it that much you are still a few gold short.

Although + point. If you are an Udyr or something,I think you guys can early baron.

Bottom line. If your objective is to push,invade their jungle while they are pushed and cause choas among the jungler,you will benefit from this item. But if you wish to lane with it,I suggest another item will be more useful.
