Doran's Shield OP

Am I one of the few people who think Doran's Shield is now WAY too strong? SO much healing that it basically eliminates bully/poke pressure completely. It's almost a must item now. Even High Challenger players have said they think it's OP. Thoughts?

Lies and slander.

It doesn't prevent all ins, and it doesn't even heal all that much. It's only good if the enemy pokes with an auto or a spell every once in a while.

And it still isn't stackable. Nobody comes back to lane after first back and has three Doran's Shields in their inventory.

A little bit yes.

Ranged can and will use it and it might possibly be stack-able regardless of wasting the unique passive on a manaless tanky multi-hit type like Shyvana. It wouldn't magically make Shyvana top good but maybe Renekton could take advantage in the same way except he's just fine building more offensively. I think that's fine, I think it's counter intuitive that DShield "should not be stacked" unlike the other dorans item because "it's bad" or "always leads to uninteractive laning"

Is current DShield in the perfect place? Maybe not.

It's very strong right now.

Its good on Nasus If you're against an annoying try harding bully but in most cases I don't need it so i just start with item 1027 to item 3057 asap.

I've been changing my Kled build with the reworked relic shield then i build these items in order item 3026 item 3748 item 3083 item 3078 item 3047 item 3071

Just regen all that skaarl health and piss off the enemy team when you return back after 10 seconds.

Problem with kled is that top laners and junglers will do everything they can to make you lose skaarl because of his horrible mobility but with this doran shield change i can safely farm minions and just dash away without fearing of losing my lizard.

I now only lose skaarl in mid to late game team fights or when i tp ult gank bot lane. I never lose her in lane unless i get 2v1'd

Its broken, every lane can start this atm.

Its overtuned... kind of... part of me thinks its op because u can cheat tough lanes w/ late game carries, but the other part of me thinks its fine, because the champion that probably is hit hardest by dorans shield is caitlyn and she is still the top adc.

It's a viable start on ADCs That alone tells you it's too strong
