It's even more common to die and lose lots of CS to tower, or to lose tons of CS because you are too low to get close to the wave. Regardless, you can't just make a dumb statement like "Vayne with DShield will get only half as much CS as Caitlyn with DBlade" without even anecdotes to back it up. | ||

When Vayne has a Doran's Shield and your fellow laner is passive as well, both of you don't even have a chance to go aggressive because of -8 AD. The support guy will just heal or shield and watch you lose last hits constantly and tada you lost the lane anyway. Surviving the lane DOES NOT MEAN you are keeping the lane more even. When Vayne has a Doran's Shield and your fellow laner is aggressive, the aggressive support has to BECOME a passive support for absolutely no reason other than "this jerk bought Doran's Shield" because the enemy will simply target their spells on the aggressive support if he does go aggressive. Boom the support becomes fucking useless. There is pretty much no scenario that supports Doran's Shield over the Doran's Blade. | ||

You say Doran's Shield has the better raw combat stats, but in terms of the LANE the Doran's Blade will always keep pushing due to the better OFFENSIVE stats. This simply means any FIGHT that would make Doran's Shield useful is nullified completely because the enemy laners won't EVER fight you back without additional creep pressure. So basically you either keep farming creeps under tower (get harassed to shit again), OR you fight under 3 caster minions (or more), which means you've already lost under that scenario.

But aren't there ADC's who already play passive and get shoved to their tower pretty much regardless? Lets say Kogmaw vs Lucian for example. Kog isn't going to win those trades regardless of who his support is and what items he opened with. Playing passive, getting as much CS as possible and winning later in the game is the correct way for Kog to play. So in that situation, wouldn't Kog benefit from itemization that would give him more defense against Lucians poke and more combat stats in an actual fight? | ||

None of these are particularly outlandish assumptions. If i see a shield opening I'd opt to push harder since you'll have a hard time last hitting under tower without the extra ad (unless you went for pure ad runes instead of vamp???), and I can rush a lvl2 and zone you out. You can't make good trades because you have a shield and I have a blade, and consequently your 2v2 is weaker and possibly a level behind. Jungler intervention is perhaps another matter but when you're pushed to the guy's tower your support should be warding anyways. edit: cheep i think only dshield has a unique passive out of the doran's items? | ||

in teamfight i think sona has a better team presence, get a chalice and spam everything. Karma has some merit in poke comp and that's why she is picked on OGN | ||

Many ADs that are currently popular can push extremely fast (Lucian, Sivir, Jinx, Caitlyn). Ezreal won't necessarily push fast, but his tower harass is unparalleled and you will start to drop health really fast. The support will be weaker by default due to the weaknesses of Doran's Shield. What this means is that the enemy will have a nice middle ground of survivability and damage with the Doran's Blade so they can fight 2v2s relatively normally. With the Doran's Shield however, it simply puts too much survivability on the AD and no damage, which hurts ANY possible 2v2s (the support will just get focused, the enemy will take less damage, etc). This also means you can't make any trades (supports will be forced to do shit like 5 health potions just to stay alive). I've already said that BECAUSE you don't have those offensive stats, you can't ever trade efficiently simply due to the enemy having lane control. Unwarded? Pushed? I've already mentioned that simply popping summoners (without getting stupidly greedy with them), the enemy will survive almost every scenario because they will always be full hp when the jungler is there to gank for the lane with the Doran's Shield. Less damage, enemy having more HP, simply impossible. Missing CS will always hold true because with a Doran's Shield you become less vulnerable, but have less windows of last hitting under tower, which will get pretty dicey even with a Doran's Blade. You will generally (most definitely) require more hits to kill certain creeps (Cannon + Melee creeps in particular), which means once all 5-6 creeps come under tower constantly, you cannot magically get as many last hits as you would life without taking an exorbitant amount of damage from the enemy laner. The way to survive a losing lane is to buy more Doran's Blades (3 is pretty crazy though) and that has always been true. What makes Doran's Shield so different in this case is at levels 1 through 3(can go up to 6 but whatever), Doran's Shield may be the only item in your inventory to help a laning phase that's 3 to 7 minutes long. What this means is that for 3 to 7 minutes, you have no chance of actually manfighting the enemy AD+Support and you just let them do whatever the fuck they want for 3 to 7 minutes and then through their lane control, they can back whenever they want and come back with even more items (Vamp scepter, boots, another Doran's Blade, potions) and they'll just simply ramp up the aggression with the better items. When you recall at the same time (or a bit later) to match their recall timing, you will have less gold to work with in the first place. Of course buying another Doran's Shield is a waste, but on another note, what about buying a Doran's Blade? How is that any different from saying "I need two Doran's Blades to not let this go to shit"? At levels 1-3 at least a weak laner like Vayne with a Doran's Blade as a chance of making a play at the 3 minute mark while trading harass very aggressively (this means that for example you force yourself (as an AD) to 50% hp and make the enemy AD 70% hp), BUT this would be the chance for your jungler to gank a 70% hp enemy laner rather than just playing passively with Doran's Shield and letting the enemy have 100% HP. This is what it means to keep the enemy honest with a Doran's Blade opening. Doran's Shield will never have any of these options open to them WHILE having the various weaknesses I already pointed out. | ||

It isn't very clear that the MM starting dshield would lose the trade, especially if he's focused by the ennemy MM and support. Honestly, a MM taking arpen marks and doran blade would have the problem pushing/last hitting under tower. I doubt many people would consider that he would automatically lose the lane because he took arpen marks. | ||
