Hell Yeah!

Dorans shield changes are great, and now i can last hit even easier!

Honestly, it's still bad.

It's just not utter shit anymore.

It's a better Doran's Blade basically. Slightly less last hitting power for more sustain.

No, it's pretty damn good. It's no longer niche, it's now as viable as Doran's start.

It's especially nice for bruisers/juggernauts

it is a Doran's start though

Is it really that good now? I was thinking it won't do shit about the level 3 100-0 ignite cheese since more of the defense was moved into healing

It is really nice to use against poke, avoiding the 100-0 at level 3 might require being a coward instead of any particular build.

My only problem is the on-hit damage. Tanks and melees having trouble surviving? Let's give them damage

They didn't have trouble surviving, they had trouble getting poked down, which more regen helps, and csing to get their tank items, which the on hit helps.

It's damage to minions only. Doesn't work in the jungle nor the champs, pets, etc.

D-blade helps to get cs with additionnal ad, and i guess you could say D-ring helps too if they use spells to cs a little. Now tanks have something too.

even tho its good for laning. its worse than the old one post lane. you can't really sit on it anymore. the old damage reduction was actually not shit in combat when everyone has like 1+1/2 or 2 items post lane. post lane you just sell it.

but yeah its definitely better in lane. mostly because of price reduction however.

well thats what we needed it for anyway. The regen allows you to stay in lane vs cancer bullies. I easily survived and maintained close CS to a Jayce as Darius last night thing that wouldnt happen otherwhise without jungle preassure all in all very welcome item + the dmg allows you to cs

oh yeah its definitely above and beyond superior in lane. old one was too garbage anyway. dmg reduction was nice but sustain was trash. also easier to hit cs. can't beat that,

Yeeeeap. It allowed me to Survive Fiora as Nasus last night. Even tho i played on really lower mmr than what i usually play on(around gold 1 plat 5) the difference was really really significant and it felt extremenly nice having.
