So with an average farming speed of 6 minions per minute this item pays for itself in ~8 minutes? That sounds pretty OP to me, especially considering an AD carry can get way more than 6 minions per minute (waves spawn every 30 seconds, right?).

I've been building this and I find it best to get mid game on AD carries. After you complete your first major AD item (BT/IE) get this. It really helps speed up those other items you want and because you already have a major item going you won't sacrifice early damage or more reliable last hitting.
