I'm with Rapacious on the dorans item. That 100 health can be the difference between being bursted or getting a level 2 kill. The HP pot gives you the chance to fuck up and start over at full. But the lifesteal and 100 health make a bigger difference in the fight. Unless you pop it right as the fight starts. And even then. With Dorans blade AD quints AD yellows. Armor pen reds and Attack speed blues is my usual build for early game. Squishy as all hell but hit like a truck with 74 level 1 AD and 21 armor pen. This means every auto attack you land heals you for 2.22 health and your MS heals for 3. You can get 3 auto's (not counting passive) inbetween each MS. So that's 10 health every time you MS autox3. On a 6 second rotation. After 1 minute of this I have gained 100 health. + the 100 health from my dorans item = 1 health potion for sustainability.

So basically. Overall as long as your auto attacking and pushing and being aggresive with Ez. Starting with a Dorans blade gives you the advantage in level 1-4 fights and after level 4 Dorans blade gives more sustain because your not wasting money on potions. Sure you wasted money on the item. But you bought it for more sustainability and an early game advantage.

When I play against people with potions I always make them waste them then play defensive and lifesteal back up. If you can survive playing defensive till you get even again you've got them beat. Just my 2 cents. Your milage may vary.
