As someone who also enjoys putting numbers to formula, i don't take your ideas lightly. You'll have to excuse my laziness, i couldn't even complete a before and after conversion for 5.1 naut shield from percent bonus health to total health, so I'm afraid i didn't look in-depth into your ideas either. In fact, to be honest, I barely skimmed it. I looked for content, and ideas, not values or precise reasoning. I'll be blunt here, as much as I'd love to put the world out as simple numbers that can be plotted into models for sucess or definition... there are more to this than just values. I may be mistaken... I've not pursued the idea that far after all... but in my time trying to formulate the optimal builds for champions... I've found numbers do not tell enough.

think of this, for example: a full-stacked seekers armgaurd gives 45 armor and 40 ability power. a needlessly large rod, 80 ability power. an hourglass = these two + 500 gold and 5 armor. And despite 5 armor not being worth 500 gold, and the 1 space not a burden mid-game, no one keeps zhonya's seperate because of it's active. and that active has an apparant value of ~400g. How does math explain the value of the passive, but that people buy the item because it's worth it? it's something that can not be added in a formula, and must be studied first hand. I hope you understand. Thank you for reading this, you have more concentration then me, who wouldn't read your data.
