Items for Reclaiming Your Lane

[quote=FatelBlade]Are there really no other items out there other than Dorans or GP/ten however? Feels very constricting considering the game we're talking about is LoL. Would building, for instance, Brutalizer on an AD top for the spike in damage be possible? As a desperation move, hope to kill them with a bunch of AD?[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]Brutalizer is a tad too expensive. I would rather go triple dorans over brut 90% of the time anyway because you have a better chance winning a fight with the stats they give, and upgrading isn't too much of a concern since youmuu's is bad anyway.[/quote]

[quote=Psychofrench]I noticed that Fatelblade has Jayce as an avatar, and I just started playing Jayce and yes, I like byuilding Brutalizer early on him rather than stacking Doran's. I might get one, but 3 is a bit too much, takes up too many item slots while the Brutalizer can be useful until you have a full build. I like getting wards and itemizing so I need those open slots as long as possible.[/quote]

[quote=KoreanSP]Depends on your champion. Someone like Jarvan top who is behind can afford GP10's and rely on jungle ganks to 'reclaim' the lane. Someone like Jayce might force the wave to be pushed hard in order to force a mid game where he gains much momentum. Someone like Lee Sin can stack Doran's Blades and rely on jungle ganks+ massive damage/sustain from the blades.[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]Brutalizer good for snowballing lanes you're ahead in, not if you're behind. J4 has tons of utility, so if he goes gp5 into a tank/bruiser role he isn't really hurt that much. I was also watching a HotShotGG stream the other day, where he went double [[doran's shield]] vs a Jayce, and it seemed to work well.[/quote]

[quote=RaNuD]When I'm losing my lane, I start blaming my jungler. Seriously though, I get a Chain vest or negatron, sometimes along a lil'doran or something.[/quote]

[quote=Raiyuzaki]At least 1 Doran's if I feel like I'm falling behind. It's usually enough to get me back in the game, and hopefully, it'll help to survive long enough to get a kill or two.[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd][quote=H4xDefender] Dorans if you think you can catch up, gp/10 if you cant. [/quote] Spot on, good analysis. If we are talking about "coming back from losing a lane", then we are obviously still in early game, where Dorans items are actually really good. For some champs i will go for as many as 3 dorans items (3 [[doran's ring]]s has almost as much mana regen as blue buff, REALLY helpful for spam farm push champs like [[zyra]]), but if i am playing a bruiser i typically go for meta golem if i am at a stalemate/losing (meta golem is gp10 items leading to stuff like [[frozen mallet]], [[atma's impaler]], [[maw of malmortius]], et cetera, things that are really powerful on champs like [[wukong]] [[jayce]], [[darius]], and j4). If you are comfortable with how the fight is going in the rest of the lanes, go ahead and do the gp10 items for late game dominance. If however the rest of your lanes aren't winning, going dorans to try to get an edge with the help of your jungler might be a better bet.[/quote]

[/quote] If you are losing the lane, the enemy simply has to copy your build to keep winning lane. It doesn't matter what items exist in the game, it's a matter of gold.[/quote]

[quote=Keltocdragon]Cheap item's with scary lookin stats are usually a good bet for early/mid game lane recovery Say wriggles and Executioners Calling being 2 item's for an easy boost while not really giving much of anything for the late game.[/quote]
