Ok, this was stated in the OP, but I feel that I need to say it again.

This is what I am suggest buying:


1. Starting items (i.e. longsword2, cloth5, flask etc.
2. Doran's Blade
3. Doran's Shield

In that order



(Unless of course, it is a game where you wouldn't want to build a doran's shield.)


Takes up two slots instead of one.
Isn't obtained as fast.
Doesn't have the shield's unique passive.

I was talking about getting that instead of a second doran's shield. If you didn't notice, I'm the OP xD.

Getting a Doran's shield isn't worth it without the unique passive. If I still needed more defense, I would grab a cloth instead. Then if I STILL needed more, I would consider a ruby. (And sell both when I needed room)

10 AD equals more efficient last-hitting, the 5 health per attack passive will eventually heal more than your 5 armor rejects. I'd prefer Doran's Blade, a simple choice.

Seeing as
1. We still get one Doran's Blade first and
2. Most people start with a long sword for vamp scepter.
do you really need an extra 30 AD just to last hit?

Also, the 5 HP per hit outways the armor, but not the unique passive. Taking 6 damage of an autoattack is greater than the 5 from yours, if you think about it that way. However, as I stated in the OP:

It is not worth getting a Doran's Shield if you only plan to farm, with the occasional damage trade here and there unless you are against a Caitlyn.

You want doran's shield when you plan on fighting the enemy lane to the death, or they plan on doing the same. (or against a carry that outranges you, and is poking a lot. Namely Caitlyn

Ninja Tabi mmm what if on the ADC u build this?


Well, you would probably win lane pretty well, but if the enemy ADC survived lane, you would wind up behind. Ninja tabi are not useful on ADCs late game, so I would rather just get a cloth armor if I needed it.

Call me crazy but I can actually see this working pretty well in some situations.

My solution to that was the 17/13 setup

Might work, now that you put it this way. I'm going to try it out.

If you're going to play ez, he probably isn't the most in need of it.

I probably should have mentioned ez as an AD who doesn't need it.
