Is Overheal a noob trap?

So for those who don't know what Overheal does:

-Excess healing becomes a shield for up to 10 percent of your total health + 10,

This seems like a very small shield and won't really contribute to you surviving especially in the late game. Especially as an ADC. I feel like you would just be better off running other runes. Your thoughts?

Why are you taking Overheal on an ADC? The max overheal scales with health, so take it on someone who builds health. An extra 10% health on top of 4k isn't too shabby.

If you have a Soraka as Support, then it's potentially good on an ADC. Otherwise, probably best left to health-stacking champs.

Make you you are aware that you cannot easily get to max shield alone. Your self-heal will only take 30% of it toward your shield. However, allies' heal will have 300% of it toward your shield. Not that it is a good choice or not. I have no opinions on that.

Handy if you're with a healer type like Sona, Soraka, Janna, or Nami.
