Is it better to use gems or gold to buy gold?

Gems / Gold Conversion

If you are a drafter, 1500gold/10000gold means 0.15 of a draft. 300gem/1500gem = 0.2 of a draft. So buying with gold is better value if you're a drafter

Algorithm:

(costToEnterDraft / costToBuyCurrency) * currencyReceived

Do this for both gems and gold, go with the higher number.

Gems: (1500 / 10) * 550 = 82,500 gold Gold: (10000 / 50) * 550 = 110,000 gold

Basically, this is saying if you decided to spend enough currency to enter a draft for the promotion, how much gold would you get?

Another way to think about it... This is a little more abstract

Gems: 10 / 1500 = 0.00667% of a draft Gold: 50 / 10000 = 0.005% of a draft

10000 / 1500... 1 gem is worth 6.66 gold.

10 * (10000 / 1500) = 66 gold
