believe it or not, the game is healthier when dorans shield is bad

yes, it's true. Idk if anyone was around or remembers, but whenever dorans shield is actually good and worth picking, it turns any lane that can buy it into the top lane of today. Dorans shield is just a very unhealthy item for the game.

When both top laners are buying it, they both turn into unmovable objects. Trading becomes impossible. You trade and they take like nothing and regen it fast and you think "well fuck that shit."

I expect this to get downvoted by people who never played when it was good or don't know anything, but trust me, you do NOT want a dorans shield buff like you think you do

You mean bruisers would be bruisers? God forbid that happen.

The only reason Dshield is ever a problem is because Riot doesn't make it better on melee than ranged.

Honestly though, I don't want a Dshield buff. I want my minions to actually do something useful when the ranged person is attacking me at level 1. Even if I stand in my ranged minions, they can autoattack and then drop aggro before the minons even get two attacks off.

Pantheon is the sole reason doran's shield must continue to exist and be good.
