Proof that atk+hp is a correct estimate for minions

Your assumptions are mathematically impossible for the range of values you selected. Your biggest mistake was creating a function to abbreviate a simple ratio.

Let's examine just your case 3. Here are your assumptions.

(1) V(A, B) = A/B

(2) >V(A, B) = V(A, A) + V(A, B-A)

(3) >In case 3, A < B

(4) Where A, B are real, positive integers.

End assumptions. Therefore, starting with assumption (2), we have:

A/B = A/A + A/(B-A)

A/B = 1 + A/(B-A)

A(B-A)/B = B - A + A

(AB - A2)/B = B

A2 - AB + B2 = 0

A2 + B2 = AB

From assumption (3), we know that B>A, and, therefore, B2 > AB.

If B2 is a bigger, real, positive integer than AB, then the sum of B2 with another real, positive integer (A2) must also be greater than AB. There are no values within your constraints that satisfy this equality.
