The new meta prefers sustain so you can stay in lane longer.
The meta has always preferred sustain for early laning.
That's why Season 2, Boots + 3 was a preferred start, why Cloth + 5 was a preferred start.
That's why Season 3, (before the potions limit) 9x pots + wards was a preferred start, why
Doran's Blade + LS Quints became preferred (in light of the MS nerfs), why Doran's Shield became a standard start.Don't say something so useless and misleading.
Hmm, mathematically, Doran's Shield+ Health Potion outscales Cloth Armor + 5 Health Potions after 250 seconds, 4,166666... Minutes.
100+150+2*x=5*150
Still, that doesn't say anything about the efficiency, because Cloth Armor actually builds into something while Doran's Shield not. The armor and passive could be valued as the same. This calculation also doesn't say anything about special abilities like Courage, Perseverance,
Perseverance
, Goes Where He Pleases, Maximum Dosage, etc...

Considering that half that time pretty much passes by the time you're in lane...
Anyway, Doran's Shield is taken pretty much for levels 1-6. It doesn't matter that it doesn't build into something else as long as it lets you stay in lane for longer.
And a lot of champions can't effectively use Cloth Armor early, because most people build Sunfire Aegis as a first armour item anyway, not Randuin's Omen which is more oriented towards mid-late game, since not many champions itemize on AAs/AS in the toplane.

Well, because of that, Sunfire Aegis is getting nerfed for earlygame, 25(+1 per level) magic damage.

Sunfire Cape is the best early tank item though, if you're a tank, it's basically the best item to rush every game, apart from maybe buying an early Spectre's Cowl.
