This Double Dorans Nerf Really Dissapointed me.

LunarStrike··4 votes·1,345 views

I know it was bound to happen, because some champions were really abusing this, but as a Diana main, I would frequently take double dorans when im rushing Zhonyas against a Zed (as an example). Now I'm restricted to a mana item.

I'm really keen on hearing other opinions on this change. I think it's reasonable in a way since some champions are abusing it, but It's going to negativly affect my main, who was barely abusing it in the first place.

She was simply just clutching to viability with those items. But the items were OP. And Diana needs a buff. Pretty simple.

how else would you nerf it that wouldn't affect your main.

Diana is unplayable at this point. Each patch nerfs her more and more with the recent changes to Dorans ring, banshees vale and abyssal scepter leaving her in an abysmal state. Worse yet we'll probably have to wait until the diver update to get any changes to her at all which is probably going to take a couple months.

Even some mana pool buffs would help but I doubt Riot would go for that.

She needs a temporary bandage until then

maybe some dropped mana costs

better base stats for surviving in lane

or more base mana regen and mana regen per level.

or base attack speed up, passive attack speed down a bit. So the value out of nashors increases

That pssive attack speed should just be removed, then her base attack speed should be buffed to the value it would have had with her passive on. In other words, increase her base attack speed 20/30%, remove the passive attack speed. It's really ridiculous how low her base attack speed is, and if they really want to make her a diver, this is a good first step.

As a Veigar main, I relied on the Double Doran's to keep myself in lane while stacking Q. Normally, I can't get lost chapter as I get bullied so hard out of lane I can only buy Doran's.,I think it hurts Veigar a lot because of this. I understand where you're coming from, Diana needs the mana as well.

I understand why they made the change though, no more Galio & Naut pushing you into your tower with no drawbacks. Be strong, we'll find a way to get through this... we always do.

This was more about triple Doran's than double Doran's, but the fact of the matter was that Doran's Ring is and was just way too strong.

it's pretty rough on any mage (or champion in general, just especially mages) who need mana sustain in lane but needs to rush a defensive item because they're against Zed or someone

Just being honest they should not have left the ring like this for this long to begin with. That is the one thing that gets me about riot balancing the champs they do it with the items in mind and people find ways to eat up the weakness so the champ can stay playable then when they shift the items it kills champs. Why cause the kit was in a bad place before the items and they did nothing to people broke the mold to still play. I feel for diana i loved playing her in the past but just to many champs are in need of love due to this cycle of nerf kits then nerf items.

Still amazed that the other double doran's (Doran's Blade) which the bruisers/assassins have been running with in the early stages was not nerfed.
