Trivia[]

  • Doran's Blade's Howling Abyss counterpart is
    Guardian's Orb
    , available on the Howling Abyss. It used to be the counterpart of
    Prospector's Ring
    before Dominion's removal.

Lore[]

They say Effrem E. Doran was born with a hammer in his hands and a forge in his heart. Every object he touched, he found ways to improve, and he knew that he was destined to be a brilliant artificer. At the age of 15, he was invited to the League with an offer to assume the role of Master Artificer, a dream come true and an unprecedented honor for one so young. However, fate had other plans. En route, his carriage broke an axle. When he leaned down to inspect it, he was kicked in the head by his donkey, a stern blow. He stumbled back onto the wagon, but when he arrived at the Institute of War he was a different boy. The kick had rendered his mind soft, but it hadn’t robbed him of his passion. He still wanted nothing other than to craft, but where once he may have created singular masterpieces, he now crafted…somewhat simpler items, and many of them. He is a kind, goofy, good-hearted soul, and he takes pride in the work he does. His items are daily selected by champions on the Fields of Justice, and he has a permanent home at the Institute of War.

Doran's Blade, Doran's Shield, Doran's Ring, and Wukong's staff are some of the more famous crafts.

Patch History[]

Patch 14.6

  • One at a Time: Doran's Blade, Doran's Ring, and Doran's Shield may no longer be purchased if World Atlas or Runic Compass is already in the player's inventory. This also applies to the Mosstomper, Gustwalker, and Scorchclaw starting jungle items. Growing your jungle pet all the way and upgrading your support item to its final form removes this restriction.


Patch 14.1

  • Unique Passive - Drain: Restore 1 mana per second, increased to 1.5 if you’ve damaged an enemy champion in the last 10 seconds (gain 45% of this value as health instead if you cannot gain mana) ⇒ Restore 1.25 mana per second (gain 45% of this value as health instead if you cannot gain mana)


Patch 13.20

  • Ability Power: 15 ⇒ 18
  • Health: 70 ⇒ 90


Patch 12.10

DRAIN - MANA REGENERATION : [Restore 0.75 mana per second, increased to 1.25] Restore 1 mana per second, increased to 1.5 for 10 seconds
HEALING INSTEAD OF MANA : [50%] 45% of Drain value


Patch 11.23

We’re adding an incentive to Doran’s Ring for champions who want to get aggressive in lane. We still want champions to have access to mana in tough matchups, so we’re keeping the base mana regeneration relatively high—now there's just a bonus treat for dueling.

FOCUS (PASSIVE) : Unchanged
DRAIN (PASSIVE) [Killing a unit restores 6 mana. If you can’t gain mana, restore 3 health instead] Restore 0.75 mana every second. Damaging an enemy champion increases this amount to 1.25 mana every second for 10 seconds. If you can’t gain mana, restore 50% of the value as health instead


Patch 10.23 - 12/11/2020 Balance & Bugfixes

BUGFIX : Bonus damage to minions is no longer lost on death
BUGFIX : Doran's Ring's passive mana regeneration has been properly removed


Patch 10.23

Opening up Doran's ring to non-mana users and bringing back the old last-hitting skill test.

ABILITY POWER : 15
HEALTH : 70
MANA RESTORE : Killing a minion restores 6 mana. Excess mana (all 6 of it if you can't gain mana) is converted to healing, at a 50% rate.


v8.9
No longer gives base mana regen or mana regen on minion kill. Now gives flat mana regen and bonus damage vs minions.

We're pushing Doran's Ring away from "csing gives you mana". Basically, incentivizing "use spells on waves because you'll get the mana back" puts mages in a weird cycle where trading is generally a worse choice than simply waveclearing. The new Doran's Ring will help mages feel better about csing without using spells, allowing them more opportunities to trade directly with their laning opponents.

BASE MANA REGEN No longer gives base mana regen
MANPIRE No longer returns mana on minion kill
FLAT MANA REGEN Now gives 5 mana regen per 5 seconds
MANA PUNCH Now gives +5 on-hit damage vs minions


v6.12
Removed various starting, vision, and alternate-map-specific items.

This section's a bit of a grab bag, so we'll rapidfire a few explanations. First: we like the safe efficiency of Doran’s items, but not the inventory bloat of stacking them. We're replacing the Doran's series with the Guardian's items - see below. Next: Arcane Sweeper and Lightbringer were meant to balance out Howling Abyss's lack of wards, but ended up as permanent, mandatory counters to certain champs (even if their stats weren't desirable). We're retiring them and beefing up Oracle's Extract instead. Finally: Entropy and Wicked Hatchet were what we call 'trap' choices: they could be cool, but never lived up to their potential and were usually just wastes of gold. Sometimes a 'trap' item’s niche is interesting enough to go back and fill properly, but that's not the case here.

Now, say one final farewell to our departing friends!

FROZEN AND ALONE : The following items have been removed from Howling Abyss:


Doran's Blade


Doran's Ring


Doran's Shield


Arcane Sweeper


The Lightbringer


Orb of Winter


Entropy


Wicked Hatchet
