the thing is:

doran gives you more AP for burst

doran gives more MAX hp

sadly a pot doesn't change your max hp meaning a gank can become a death barely while you could have survived on a doran

doran is really better then this early on, when a few hp can mean a first blood

and you can double doran > big ap item ( DFG/deathcap/ abyssal/ whatever you want)

while you can't really just go with chalice or codex  then big AP item unles it's  an ap item with HP  doran gives your the survavibility you need   this doesn't :

a simple example is yoricks top going tear after boots 1 and getting raped by the other top in a frontal fight because they bought double doran's blade and he got 0 item ( Mp5 is nice, in a frontal fight it's useless.)
