Most markmans don't get Avarice blade that early. Stattik Shiv and those other items are mid game items. After the laning phase when you might only farm a few jungle creeps and waves of minions that arrive at turret.

The gold passive is really good on Melee Carries who of course need those high critical damage items as soon as possible. A 5 gold on kill would be a little too good on strong farmers. Keep in mind that this item STILL combines with any and other gold making item so someone like Master Yi who is farming in the jungle to get Feral Flare is benefitting very highly from that sort of change.

I mean it's gold. It tells you how much you've made with it and it dissapears afterwards because only support items and jungle items keep their gold passive as they are the only champs who really spend money throughout the laning phase and have the weakest money pool.
