Well, isn't the passive gold buff kind of speaking against the midas? I mean, you can get utility items faster with the passive gold. Plus, the passive gold doesn't really come into play that much early, which is when you want to buy a midas.
I actually would think that midas would be worse as the game pace is faster. Is it really a good idea to put yourself at a disadvantage for 10-15 min until it pays off?

I was thinking the choice was more in terms of the XP boost rather than the gold. If you're getting less out of the jungle, and you're perhaps roaming around a bit more a midas can keep your levels ticking over in the meantime (just look at the differences in levels in all 3 games a CM went midas today). The gold tweak just lets you potentially get it at a more practical point in the game.
Like I said I have no real idea, that's just my attempted rationalisation ^^
Guys, Ayesee is Omniknight. Who knew? Pretty cool video, I liked it. Could use some work, but I hope they continue the series. I guess its based off the official lore, right?

It doesn't pay for itself immediately, but it does allow you to get a level advantages faster than otherwise possible, and with many popular heroes scaling with levels moreso than gold, its a fairly strong option.

It isn't hard to use, but the long cooldown doesn't make it worthwhile at any level. I agree with Blink still, but probably semi-carry build is best now.
His old Agh's did deserve a nerf I believe, so a change was warranted, but removing duration increase AND cooldown decrease just makes it plain bad.

You always get blink on Brew as his first item (sometimes mana boots beforehand).
Always always always always. Otherwise play a different hero.

Midas is almost always about the XP boost.
