You just wasted 475 gp to get an item that as a good player you won't really need and you're going to sell it to get another better item anyways. If you're good enough to not need one is it so horrible to not?

Saying good players shouldn't need one is like saying you went 10/0/5 with nothing but boots. It doesn't mean you're good, it means the enemies are bad.

If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.

Here's the thing...

In terms of pure gold cost, if we take B.F. Sword, Vampiric Scepter, Giant's Belt, Meki Pendant, Regrowth Pendant, Chain Vest, and NLR as examples then:

1 AD costs 36g
1% Life Steal costs 37.5g
1hp costs 2.6g
1 ap costs 20g
1 armor costs 15.6g
1 HP/5 costs 29g
1 MP/5 costs 55g


This means that Doran's Blade should cost 360+260+112= 732g.

This means that Doran's Ring should cost 260+300+275= 835g.

This means that Doran's Shield should cost 314+156+232= 702g.


So, if only "bad" players need dorans items, then why are they so amazingly cheap?

And i was retorting your point.

If you plan on getting all 6 items then yes, dorans items are a waste, but if you don't, they are some of the most gold efficient items in the game.

Doran's is not a waste! If you are actually playing good players you need to get some good stats immediately instead of waiting around for gold to just drop on you. It's hard saving up for those nicer items when you are getting pushed out of your lane by an enemy that bought smart.
