If you don't farm at all, Kleptomancy isn't going to give you anything remotely close to the amount of gold/xp you need to stay relevant.

i think he means klepto/ancient coin?

He didn't say anything about coin in his post. Even if he was trying to say Coin+Klepto, the only way that would work is if you played support. No other role would be able to keep up with their opponents off of those two things alone.

well if you played coin top you get (somewhat) unlimited mana/coins/exp by missing farm and busy proccing your klepto in some verrry specific matchups.

basically its a new strat where you play someone like karma top with spell thiefs and klepto then you just poke the hell out of the enemy laner, in short another top lane strat thats essentially "fuck you for being melee"

I'm aware of the strategy, OP didn't say anything regarding that.

Even then, that's still nowhere close to what you need to keep up with your laner.

i think you underestimate how much spellthiefs gives you with constant poke, on top of your zoning being so stupidly good that the enemy wont be able to walk up and farm

A competent laner will build against the poke and never fall behind someone who isn't farming. The 1-3k gold Spellthief's can give in a game won't match up to the 2-10k+ gold that CSing gives.

OP is talking about how not farming at all with coin is equal to farming with normal items, which isn't even close to being true.

its not unless your going spell thiefs into a lane you can poke a lot but even then they can shove you in hard if you arent farming

First of all, your creep score has nothing to do with your exp. You only need to be within range of minions as they die in order to gain exp.

Others have already mentioned HOW you can gain a reasonable amount of gold by combining a support item and Klepto.

As for your question of "why is it possible...?"

Why not?

It isn't the most efficient strategy. They would still be better off farming as many minions as possible.

Now, is it possible for someone to use this strategy AND farm minions in order to gain a significant gold advantage. ... or rather, SHOULD it be possible? .. that is debatable.

I think the more relevant question to ask here is, how can it be prevented without hurting supports?
