Meki is fine, the regen is welcome when your champion spams skills, like Orianna or a support.
Dorans has its advantage too, they give HP, a nice start attribute (AP, def or AD) and another option (HP regen, Mana regen or lifesteal). Its a 3-on-1 item.
Its all your choice. I generally get the recommended xD, i'll end selling dorans or upgrading meki.

Meki + Health pot is the way to go.
Just makes it easier for you to farm and stay in lane. Which is what you need to do early on. Unless your super aggressive go for the dorans.

Point is you can't build meki into anything usefull besides tear and there are only a few champs who can fully utilize that item. If you want sustain in lane then just get a philo stone and spam less spells early game.

Doran's items were specifically nerfed so you can't buy potions with them anymore.
On a caster type champion, Meki Pendant can be a very good choice if you want to be able to harass or farm more with your abilities.
Of course, it also means you have to end up buying a




It's a matter of deciding what item will get the job done.

Meki+2pots is fine if you're going for an early Tear, but
Boots+3pots or
Doran's Ring are better in most cases.

Not really.
It takes 2.4min for Meki to give more mana.

Doran's is all I use on Brand. I get Tear after basic boots though. Then begins the reign of terror.
Pfft.
Tear on Brand.
You so funneh.
Need mana on brand? ROA
Btw, Boots+3pots is usually better than D Ring on brand.

I Love starting with meki pendant for the following reasons: meki + 2 hp pots forever sustain and constant pressure, meki + 1 hp and 1 mana pot for Super spam harrass, meki + hp pot + ward for hard harass plus pushing plus being safe from ganks.
There are so many viable uses for it if you are especially getting mana % items or facing a big ap heavy team. Don't get me wrong it's not an every game thing and dorans items are great as well as boots builds plus pots if your conservative, but I don't like hearing that I'm dumb for starting with the ol'
Can I get a hell yea or some comments regarding your opinions
The only thing that bums me out sometime about not getting a dorans item first is I can't sell it later when I'm needing that little bit of extra gold to finish an item
