While I completely understand your hatred for Doran's, this one is pretty good to wear ontop of life steal runes in fact it validates getting all three of them.

Thing is. It used to be 7% lifesteal which was the sweet spot in self sustain if you had crit and AD to build on and you got the typical items later on. It however got nerfed to where you had it at 4.3% lifesteal with three runes which isn't enough lifesteal. They tried to compensate with the feast mastery but it wasn't better than getting a Doran's ring and having good AS.

Now it's different. With 4.3% percent and 3% ontop of it you get a little more than what you had before the nerf which combined with a vampiric scepter is great sustain and you can hold onto a Doran's ring until you can straight replace it with a pickaxe or a Vampiric Scepter.
