How exactly does the new rune Gathering Storm work?
Suppose it's a 30+minute game.
Does Gathering Storm give you a permanent stat increase of +6 AD at 10 minutes, a further +18 AD at 20 minutes, and then another +36 AD at 30 minutes for a total of +60 AD?
Or does it give you a persistent buff that increases from +6 AD to +18 AD to +36 AD every ten minutes?

edit: Oh I see what you mean. I think the numbers listed on the tooltip are the total amount for each increment. I'm pretty sure they said that when they first previewed it. Go check the runes corner post.
Critmaster Garen1 votestake a moment to think for a second.
would a rune give you 62 ad at 30 minutes or 36? what makes more sense?
the answer is 36 and thats already a LOT.

Mysticman891 voteshttps://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/3THTrhmb-runes-corner-late-game-focused-runes discusses gathering storm in more detail.
So while the amount of stats is probably subject to tweaking, at 10 minutes you get X stats, at 20 minutes you get +2X stats (so you have X+2X=3X of the stat), at 30 minutes you get +3X (so you have 6X total now), and so on, which is consistent with your latter description, rather than your former.
I can see how it's a bit unclear in the preseasons rune builder description though.
xxxDogmanxxx1 votesYou just described the first scenario rather than the second... so it's consistent with my former instead of my latter?
Also, nothing in the link you gave me actually clarified it either...
Mysticman891 votesLook closely at the numbers you posted and what I said. X would be 6 in this case, so 2X is 12, not 18. I described the second scenario.
Every 10 minutes gain +8 Ability Power or +6 Attack Damage, adaptive, per 10 minutes of game time that have elapsed.
That's the unambiguous but somewhat more wordy description of how it works.
