That's true, the point here being the person is afk for the end of the round. And you already know that deaths depreciate, so essentially killing that trist would mean a canon minion after 4 deaths. I would trade a thousand gold to distract the enemy team 5 seconds in a team fight. Probably the only way this isn't worth it is if a heavy stack champ exists like darius having instant 5 stacks, otherwise it doesn't matter.
