Vyn, I guess you're right, but idk. I just like the offensive/defensive early edge the blades give me, but Ill try your way.

I feel like it is not worth the investment on a jungler cause you are not dealing with a standard lane situation. It only works in a direct 1v1/2v2 situation, and sets you back if you don't put it to optimal use.

I also find Doran's Blade start to be quite effective on Trundle as well.

Well, does it help to mention I tend to play very aggressively? I generally relentlessly gank lanes and try to shove towers down and grab objectives as early as possible... I learned from the Koreans, hue.

Even if you gank a lot, a long sword adds just as much to a standard gank as a dorans. The difference comes when you end up in a 2v2 situation: in a clutch situation the 100hp might end up saving your life.

It can work, I won't deny. Overall I would not simply because junglers are quite low on gold anyway and dorans blades slow your core down noticably.

lasty told me a few weeks ago that getting dorans blades on nocturne is good and ive been having a lot of success with it, not sure about vi though i generally just get as tanky as i can since Q is normally enough to gank with

You've seen me Vi in inhouses. I get 1-2 blades and often a trinity force if I'm mega fed, but otherwise it's just the blades and a randuins and golem tabi.

ive seen your nocturne lol havnt played against your vi yet that i know of, i dont know about trinity on her personally but i guess if youre like 5/0 by 10 minutes then it wouldnt matter, but with nocturne you might need the damage since you dont have a gapcloser like vi does with her Q, i guess you can get a dorans blade if youre ahead and ganking a lot

@OTG i START blade on aatrox, almost always get one on first or second back as j4, and never buy them on vi. they are pretty good on lee and nocturne.
