Shield only good into heavy poke matchups you’re not confident in. Blade good into matchups where you’re forced into all-ins that you can out skill like Camille, Jax, Yone. Against all tanks just go refillable long sword, play for wave exclusively and farm first strike procs. Never duel. You’ll get > 1 minion worth of gold per first strike proc. Yes, Doran’s items are more efficient now, but you’ll complete essence reaver faster this way and the total gold spent upon completion will be more efficient than if you started Doran’s. Basically, depends on match up.
would something like trinity force with crit be bad on gp? i like trinity but tankplank isnt as fun to me. maybe like trinity stormrazor collector? maybe a shojin there with it or something?
bro, I was the fiora. I was on like a 19-0 win streak on her and then I play against you. Fucking trafic. Also kassadin didn't ask me to swap, he just omw pinged top and silently afkd until game start so I had no choice but to go mid with no bushes to hide from gp Q's in 8(
