there are three champs imo who can use a doran shield top lane:

malphite : passive  buff  allowing better trades and  regen to nullify trades further (  MS isn't needed since the trade buffs your ms and slows the other + armor buffs his damage

mundo: passive scales on HP  and regen so it's nearly as much as a regrowth pendant

shen : dash to escape, passive scaling on hp , good sustain

but it's situational AND a bad idea vs ali jungle or maokai/nautilus jungle

vs less agressive junglers it can give you a good advantage on a lane imo (with those)

on other solo tops if you want armor go cloth 5 pots ( ex: vs riven go cloth 5 pots)
