Talk:Doran's Blade/@comment-76.104.160.235-20120212000836

"The stat per gold of Doran's Blade is the best among the three Doran's items. However,  Doran's Shield and  Doran's Ring are preferred due to their health and mana regeneration, respectively.  Doran's Blade scales better as the fight progresses as its cumulative amounts of damage, lifesteal, and health can scale well into mid-game. The three percent lifesteal has relatively little effect. "

This is actually wrong mana regeneration is worth 55.7 gold / unit (Meki Pendant divided by cost) AP is worth 20 gold per unit (Needlessly large rod divided by cost) and hp is worth aproximatly 2.6 gold per unit, AD is worth 36.7 gold per unit (BF sword divided by cost), Life Steal is worth 37.5 (vamp scepter divided by cost)

This makes the Doran's Ring worth: 300 gold AP, 260 gold HP, 278.5 gold mana regen for a grand total of 838.5 gold value in stats Doran's Blade is worth: 367 gold AD, 260 gold HP, 112.5 gold Life Steal for a grand total of 739.5 gold value in stats

Which then makes the Doran's ring better stats per cost by 99 gold


 * all of this of course is under the assumption that you need every stat on each item to it's full extent***
