Why are people so convinced that minions don't matter in ARAM
Are they worth less gold? Do they not heal you if you have sustain?
Oh yes, lets just all share the gold like we do in botlane OH WAIT

Because the rate at which you naturally get gold in ARAM is many times higher than Summoner's Rift. So much so that the gold made from last hitting minions (especially since you are sharing 1 wave of 6 with 5 other people) is pretty insignificant.

what if.. you didn't share.
I notice I tend to win most games where I or someone else can manage to grab the vast majority of the minions
Put on bandit if you're worried about creeps. They really don't unless you're
or a really trash

bandit?
You don't play support I see... Look at the 4th row in the Cunning Mastery tree to find the bandit mastery, practically a must have on any support (and also is good in ARAM if you're worried about gold).

I do, I just forgot the name of that. I usually take the mana and hp one. the gold one is ok but is more risky than just getting you gold where you can.
Are they worth less gold?
In a sense yes. Their relative worth is less because the ambient gold generation and kills. The game is accelerated artificially compared to SR to a point where they aren't as important.

I completely agree with you on this though. It may be worth relatively less gold, but it is still more efficient to funnel gold into a single carry.
