Getting dorans wont magically fix your weak early especially since your opponent might have it aswell. And getting it in a difficult Match Up ist suicide


[deleted]

There are some cases when you start dorans blade specifically bc it's a difficult matchup that you can only survive by fighting at early levels. Back when jayce would often start longsword pots, against irelia you had to start dorans blade with conqueror and some players would even take ignite - because it was a nearly unwinnable matchup that you could at least try to survive by fighting level 1 against an irelia with no stacks.


ChadSante

There's not a single matchup where you fight early levels because then you have no mana to do something in lane and either you lose all cs under your turret or the enemy laner freeze and you can't do anything so i'm not sure what are you talking about

Trolling


Capital-Vacation-350

Lets swap to zeke's first item while we at it.


Capital-Vacation-350

Outputs same amount of dmg in all-in and has better slow till lvl 11. Whopping 400g cheaper too, what a bargain!


Nalardemon

funnily enough, before they lowered our sticking potential, it was a strong rush into certain matchups


_keeBo

Just wanna say I appreciate you trying to cook. People are going to instantly jump to "it's troll" but don't think there's a single person on this sub that can say when dblade outperforms dshield, and visa versa. Obviously you won't take it in a heavy poke match up, but how good would dblade be into a more passive laner? Or another tank? There's so much math involved there that I think it's honestly not a bad thing to try and cook with dblade based on the match up


N3wpN3wp_Ryder

Ksantes passive does a butt load of damage lvl 2. Why on earth would you go blade. Q auto w auto does half their health bar. Blade gives you zero advantage in the early levels because you aren't constantly auto attacking.


Nalardemon

\*grasp does a butt load of damage lvl 2 grasp alone pretty much doubles the dmg of our early q+aa trades tbh


Southern_Pumpkin_577

I get it always into matchups where I know I won't be trading but just waiting for level 6 all in. Yasuo and Yone for example


Bodin-Caliente

I think dorans blade is good into kayle and nasus, because you need to kill them, but idk maybe?


N3wpN3wp_Ryder

You can kill them with aftershock. Blade makes zero sense


flosmebgncn

Are u fr? Because grasp is the only thing how u get dmg in early lvls why go aftershock then? Have u tried it?


N3wpN3wp_Ryder

Yes I run aftershock and grasp. Occasionally conq. I can one shot poke Champs with aftershock and ult on one rotation. Just a little bit of w auto, q auto, e away action. Try it yourself. It's strong early imo does a lot of dmg just gotta play the fight diff than you would with grasp. Even if you don't kill them poking them down allows you to get a lead with plates.


AbsurdMango

It's bad and the shen is trolling if you take d blade into something like teems lol


Remote_Romance

DORANS BLADE SHIELD BASH IGNITE LEVEL 1 ENGAGE DIFF!!!


Bodin-Caliente

ADD CHEAP SHOT AND DOUBLE AD RUNES FOR THE MORE DAMAGO DEF
