Why font of life is a much better version of stoneborn pact

So far, I've seen points for and against font of life's powerlevel. Let's first off state the facts : -Font of life heals 5 + 1% of your max health per autoattack -Stoneborn pact heals 5 + 2.5 % of your max health over 2 seconds. It's actually 40% on-hit and 60% over time Aka 2+1% max health on-hit and 3 + 1.5% max health over time.

This is nice because it doesn't heavily favour autoattack based champs.

So far it seems fair. No why would I think font of life is broken and is the new ardent censer drain?

The on-hit has a slightly higher base value, health will be farmable with runes. But most of all... There's a simple reason stoneborn pact is underused nobody mentioned.

STONEBORN PACT IS HALVED ON RANGED CHAMPS. FONT OF LIFE ISN'T. All the calculations on stoneborn pact were flawed. Divide them by 2 as the guys that will abuse this are adc's. That and the fact it is on-hit makes font of life a hugely synergistic rune with high attack speed ad carries. Stoneborn pact was thought out to not be abused. To be balanced for melee/range. Font of life, not at all. Especially if we consider the ridiculous amounts of attack speed gained by précision tree, and the presence of lethal tempo.

On a 3k hp tank, font of life heals 35/autoattack. Similar values as drain ardent censer. Let's not imagine how bad this is on a tank toplane cho'gath using stoneplate (80 health/auto now,if not more?) using it for a lethal tempo kog'maw with uncapped attack speed.

Be careful. Runes that aren't thought out to not be abused WILL BE ABUSED by our dear adc's.

Ps: keep in mind font of life isn't even a keystone.

Some math for ranged champs (healing/second corresponds at how much you heal each second for the onhit and the healing over time, knowing the healing over time doesn't stack with itself and supposing you attack without interruption) 1.0 attack speed Healing/second font of life: 1 x (5 + 1% tank's max health) = 5 + 1% tank max health Healing/second stoneborn pact: on-hit part 0.5x0.4x(5+2.5% tank max health) = 1+0.5% tank max health Per second part 0.3x0.5x(5+2.5% max health) = 0.75 + 0.375% max health Total: 1.75 + 0.875% max health Already weaker...

Now for 1.5 attack speed (just multiply the respective on-hits by 1.5) Healing/second font of life: 7.5 + 1.5% tank max health Healing/second stoneborn pact: 2.25+ 1.125% tank max health

Now for 2.0 attack speed Healing/second font of life: 10 + 2% tank max health Healing/second stoneborn pact: 2.75 + 1.375% max health

And for 2.5 attack speed Healing/second font of life: 12.5 + 2.5% tank max health Healing/second stoneborn pact: 3.25 + 1.625% tank max health

And for fun the abuse case, stacked Rageblade (=> on-hits x 1.5) kog'maw with lethal tempo 3.0 attack speed Healing/second font of life 22.5+ 4.5% tank max health Healing/second stoneborn pact: 5.25+2.625% tank max health
