I've been thinking about this since the days of Civilization I and Warcraft II. Although, Civ is more turn-based.

Yeah, most coders think like that, I bet.
In UO we used to think that way, more or less, adopting tactics that were much ridiculed but very successful.
The problem with LOL is that there are too many variables. Champ selection is just the first stage. How you build them during the game makes too much difference. I'd love to be able to code a program that scrapes data from a particular match and tells your team the most likely successful way to thwart their team, but again, too many variables as the game goes on. And, the good players adapt their tactics to account for your build and tactics. Too much data.

Pshaw.
Too much data.
Bull to the shit. No one knows everything. No one is James Bond. Everyone has a weak point. It's merely a matter of finding and hitting it repeatedly. Questions are ...
1. What does this data look like?
2. Data for who? You, your opponents, your team?
3. Do you have a way to pipe in data from the current game into a program somewhere machine?
4. How much data do you have access to from a historical perspective? With enough time and targeted history, the real time analysis doesn't have to be god-like.
