Farming is a just as important, if not more so, mode of gold generation. 0/2/6 teammates can still be very effective throughout the game if they can keep up in farm. I'd be more than happy for my support to take all the kills if I get to free-farm the botlane. Killing champs for gold only happens in the early game anyways. In mid or late game, you kill champions to remove them from the map so you can push towers or take dragons.
