I have been hearing a lot about this, especially with the rise of Udyr. (Due to his new skin >.>)
What other junglers have been building this item first recently?
Would it be worth trying on someone like Lee sin?

Everyone with high ad ratios. I would say Kha'zix, Zed, Riven...

And Lee Sin could even jungle without items, runes and masteries, cuz he is Lee Sin.

You can get it if you want to do early (like, level 2-3) level ganks or counter jungles. It's still an extremely cost efficient item, you're just delaying buying a Spirit Stone until you back.

You fall pretty far behind if you YOLO your way into an early death, though.

Anyone looking to gank level 2 or who is gank heavy.

Oh, and either autoattacks a lot or has AD scaling.

Innate sustain is also a plus.

Is Doran's Blade useful ?

- It depends. If you don't know why it is useful, you shouldn't get it. The idea of getting it is to get early objectives or pressure lanes. For example: If you are just going to AFK farm jungle till you reach certain level, you don't need it.

Doran's Blade is good for junglers that can make something happen with it. Junglers that have AD/AS steroid, early kill potential, early lane pressure, can push lanes and take objectives for example. Junglers such as Udyr, Warwick, Lee Sin, Xin Zhao, Aatrox can put it in good use. If you get it, you should get objectives such as:

1. Gank top lane and get kill or use summoners. If you get the kill, go get tower and get your opponent jungle with top laner's presence.
2. Get kill mid/bot - Do Dragon
3. Just go invade enemy jungler and keep pressuring him and keep taking the buffs

These are just examples, hope I could help

i wouldnt recommend it in soloqueue since ganking after your first clear will be risky (provided you arent playing a high sustain jungler)

if you have tons of sustain, go for it.

Ganking after first clear being risky? o.o
Generally, I will start at the buff closest to my bot lane, then take whatever buff I didn't take and gank top.
Early ganks top can win or lose that lane right from the start!

Thanks for the help!
I have been trying out buying it early AFTER my first clear with Machete and pots. It has been going really well too! It really turns Lee Sin into an incredibly scary early game duelist and makes his ganks twice as deadly.
