Dorans ring start, mid runes and Dorans stack...

[quote=Joxuu]Hello. I've given a try for most of the [[Sona]] starters and basic support itemization. Utility runes/Tank runes and 4x [[Sight ward]], 2x [[Vision ward]] / Reju bead + pots + ward / Charm + pots + ward. I felt quite comfortable with them. However, recently I have tried Xpecial start which is [[Doran's ring]] + Ward + hp pot and ap mid runes. I quite liked it. Not only the fact it increases the poke, makes you less squishy, but you gain nice amount of mana rgn, it's like Farie charm, but better. I don't run it against early game junglers tough. After first b, I usually take second Dorans, then build forward [[Sightstone]] and Philo's. Third may however delay important first item too much tough, so I leave it there. I've seen games where I have had the most dmg dealt in 20 minute games as support. Having ~100 ap and Q dealing 300ish + 160 from passive. That hurts. Try it, is fun.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]I hate it when people start doran's on supports. >_> If I see only one ward in bot lane you better believe I'm ganking at 3.[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]Health pots grant more early lane sustain than 60 hp :P[/quote]

[quote=drakon136]It works on Zilean and it's fucking terrifying on Zilean. Even then, it's still subpar.[/quote]

[quote=fashionablellama]Like Psi said, one ward isn't enough. @meiyjhe nice sig ;p[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]wait wtf, when did Doran's start giving mana regen again. Ok ignore me, now I see why this could be strong.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]i frequently start triple doran's in aram. I always found it interesting to start doran's on supports for SR but never really went for it because wards are way too good. Actually, maybe not the best, but currently my preferred first buy for midlane.[/quote]
