@Riot Out of curiosity, how do you measure the power of Champions / Items?

Is there an equation that could possibly give a comprehensible amount of Power to a champion? Is there a way to tell how powerful an Item is besides simply Gold Efficiency?

I'm asking because at some point, I'd like to try and attempt to create a graph illustrating the differences in power between:

• the different damages of AP or AD
• the resistances of Armor and MR
• the Items that use those damage types

and in order to do this, I'm going to try to come up with a sort of formula to converts the stats of each champion, as well as the damage from each ability to create a definable number that represents that champion's power, then I'm going to compare all the numbers to each other champion, and finally I'm going to do something similar to each item in the game. With this, I can create a matrix graph that would show what power is present where, if AP is more dominant than AD or vice versa, and if there is a noticeable discrepancy between damage types. With the items, I'm going to try and separate all items based on damage/resistance type, and based on their uses, create a sort of "Item Graph" where items are sorted based on what classes use them based on their power.

This is only a personal project of mine that I'd like to attempt to undertake, but if I do manage to finish it, I want to show my findings to the rest of the League Community.
