A Way to Help Melee Top Laners?

So melee top laners are often being bullied out by ranged champions recently:Gnar ,Lissandra ,Lulu, Kennen etc in competitive play, but also champs such as Swain and Heimerdinger in solo queue. Irelia, Sion,Rumble and Maokai are the stand outs that can usually stay relevant, but it seems to be due to their ability to farm from range (with the exception of Irelia until 6).

Just throwing around ideas to help with this situation. What if Doran shield blocked 10 damage instead of 8 and/or wasn't a unique passive. You could also change the unyielding mastery in the defensive tree to block 3 damage instead of 2 for melee champions. This would be a buff to the 4 stand out champions as well, but it would buff far more melee champions overall and those top 4 could be addressed accordingly if they became bigger problems.

Again, just throwing around ideas. These buffs would help in the 2v1 situations that happen in competitive play too.
