[Gold income] Are gold income runes worth it?

ˉ G·Jul 23, 2015·1 votes·1,512 views

I came here today to find out from the League Community if adding 3 Quints of gold regen and 9 Seals of gold regen are worth adding to my rune page.

My math is as follows:

Quint Gold per second: 0.1 Quantity: 3 Value: .3

Seal Gold per second: 0.025 Quantity: 9 Value: 0.225

Total value: 0.525 gold per second

So every two seconds I get an extra gold, meaning that every minute of gameplay I would receive an additional 31.5 gold.

Any feedback is appreciated, and thanks for reading.

2 minion kills add up to the amount. Much rather have the combat stats to last hit better.

More than likely, you would want this for a support.

roughly 5 GP10, probably about as much gold as you would get from a gold gen item. If you did pick these runes on a support. You would probably do so on a passive support, who would rather avoid fights for most of the laning phase. Janna perhaps. Yet at the same time, a support that works well with a lot of items.

Then again, Most aggressive supports, will most likely want the Armor Seals to better handle harass from the enemy ADC. I might suggest compromising, taking the Armor seals, and setteling for only 3 GP10 with the Quints.

I would say Its not worth it as you would be sacrificing ap/ad/armor quints and seals reducing your 1v1 potential and damage in the laning phase.

In general, Gp5 isn't even viable on supports.

Maybe you could get away with it on some full tank guy that doesn't even rely on his runes, but it's still such a low amount that you'd be better off getting actual stats.
