OK, I got it.
But I still have a question: why people complain when they see that I dont get a potion?

If you were trying to convince a person, do you think that this answer would change things?
If you're not buying a doran's item you may as well spend the leftover gold on a potion or two. It'll help you stay in lane for longer, and if you don't buy any you'll just have 35g+ just sitting there doing nothing.

They are complaining because you don't use the full lane sustainability you could, and that doesn't sit well with a team that wants you to do your best. Easy as pie.
If you for some reason want to follow my ranked journey to gold, you can do it Here.
I am against asking for rep, only rep me if you think I contributed well or said something wise.

Maybe those HP pots will be OP, but the fact is that in not talking about when you are laning and after 5 mins, you lose half of your max HP, but a way to counter a massive combo. Or you're so good to use a potion while the enemy is using his devastating combo to let you low enough?
Imagine LeBlanc. She kills things with one combo (yeah, I saw it, the enemy went from full to 0 in one combo and LeBlanc wasnt even fed). Even if you use a potion while she attacks you, you'll die. But with an insta-heal potion, you could have a chance to survive.
The normal potion takes a while to recover a good amount of HP, and the insta-potion heals you when you use.
