Doran's Blade has about 760g worth of stats packed into a 475g item. It's also an extremely effective item on Ezreal in particular, because of Mystic Shot.

If you rush a B.F. Sword, you're going to lose trades with a 2-3x Doran Ezreal unless you have some way to burst, or otherwise soften him up first with harassment. Consider that an Ezreal with 40 Armor and double Doran's has 220+ effective physical HP that you have to burn through. Many carries can't pull this off, even with a B.F. Sword. Four autoattacks is too long for breakeven in the lane, so you have to be someone like Graves that has a big "eff you" move with an AD ratio.

tl;dr: don't build B.F. Sword unless you are already winning lane, don't play carries that Ezreal beats straight-up.
