I know how to make dorans shield friendly for solo laners.

How on earth is this possible? Rework Dorans Shield with a unique passive of blocking 15-20 damage from ranged auto attacks and giving a health Regen buff from what it is now that scales on bonus health(excluding this item) but caps out. So if you need 400 bonus health to get the full benefit you will get the same bonus Regen as somebody with 5000 bonus health. The unique passive is reduced to 8 damage being blocked if you are within 700 range of an ally champion in the past 5 seconds. Unique passive debuff wears off after the 15 minute mark.

This is to make sure supports can't abuse this item to hell and back, ranged ADCs don't buy this to get tanky, and so that being a melee champion top lane isnt invalidated because you're laying vs a Vayne.

Darius ranged or not I'm here to dunk

This seems like a lot of band-aid and hack balance.

It just needs to be better for melee than for ranged. That's all we want.

But this would buff it against melee laners... and I don't really think it need that.

First off, 20 flat damage reduction on top of health regenration is pretty broken. Second of all, as stated below, seems pretty band-aidish balance to where you just constantly add additional details into an item to prevent abuse when, in reality, the mechanic itself might not be healthy.
