User blog comment:DBinitiate/(Champion concept) Althares, the hireling/@comment-5441738-20121009035056/@comment-3542156-20121009172921

The standard income for all champions is 7 gp5, thus 14 gp10 or 1.4 gp1. At lvl 1 he gets 4+2 gp10 bonus resulting in 20 gp10 total, thus 2 gp1. At lvl 18 he'll get 4+36 gp10 bonus, resulting in a total 54 gp10, or 5.4 gp1. So... No, I did not miss anything.

And I'll take your advice to increase the gold on champion kills and assists. I will try to calculate a little to see what would be adequate. It will indeed both encourage risky gameplay (throwing money around to earn more) and punish bad players.

As for the passive style... It's true that Dash costs nothing, but it only grants positioning. For early kills, you need to farm enough gold.

I do enjoy these conversations on feedback and I will take you on your word if you say certain things work out better otherwise. Thanks for your feedback. Maybe you could help me work out this idea a little further.
