I like the doran nerfs, more diversity like you said, on the other hand.. im not sure how the balance will be now for champs that really relied on doran + early potions to even do decent in early laning phase.

Hmm

Cloth 5pot may become my Shen standard, and I'll probably be forced to drop a point in feint early.

Wow, you're right. I forgot regrowth and vamp. Oracles, hmmm debatable.

Only wards and pots, or just pots is another option that's really good.

I too am looking forward to more early game diversity, and I'm hoping base MP5 is increased enough to make up for nerfs elsewhere.
Zero fighting.

go into game (me on xin, wala on kass, friends on annie, rammus, panth), mid vs ryze

get 3 kills on ryze

remember beginning of game where entire team announced bravery

decide its time to be brave yourself

get 20 stacks, dive their pool, get q'd by lux and die then win

uhhhhhh
i'm p sure melee champs need the armor/health even more than ranged champs do seeing as they have to close the gap before they can kill a creep

with nerfs to vet scars and HP quints too i really really doubt boots first is gonna be viable on nearly anyone, regrowth or meki are gonna pretty niche cases too imo


i dont' agree at all, ranged champs can use the bonuses from dorans shield more because they have the option of basically only engaging in harass

whereas melee champions are potentially committing to a fight when they go in to hit a creep, they absolutely cannot live without potions

Looks to me like catalyst rush with a mana crystal opening just got a lot stronger.

I mean now you get 300 more HP (with 2 pots) than you will with doran's ring (just the 100 flat). The AP is nice and all but I don't think it's worth 300 HP early on and a faster catalyst.

This was my impression as well.

The biggest deterrent for blue crystal->fast cata imo was always that its weaker than Doran starts until you finish cata. Now that that's no longer necessarily the case, I think I'll be starting blue crystal on a few more champs.

Why even have doran's items in the game btw? Seems like 95% of ppl go for them and then all the other possible openings tend to be ignored. They're so efficient that by the item the slot is needed for something else it has already easily paid off.

Personally I think having starter items is totally acceptable--DotA has them in the form of gg branches and magic stick/wand. The thing about Doran's items is that it takes you significantly longer until you need the slot for something else.

Exactly, so they're almost a no brainer and leads to little diversity. Why is that good? Why not give everyone an extra base 100 hp and be done with it?

On another note why are there so many ridiculous must-haves in utility like greed the +XP and the mana and utility master while also having intelligence and quickness which are really solid, while offensive is mostly useless except for some AD classes, and like almost everyone just gets into defensive for strength of spirit except junglers.

But there's some point where the tradeoffs between a Doran's item and part of a big item will be fairly even. Right now, EVERYONE opens doran's because the benefits of doing so overwhelmingly outweigh the disadvantages.
the screenshots are today's collection of games, of varying levels of srs.
