Trivia[]

Guardian's Horn, available on the Howling Abyss.
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 Idol, Doran's Shield, Doran's Ring, and Wukong's staff are some of the more famous crafts.

Patch History[]
- 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.
- Health: 80 ⇒ 110
- Regeneration when Damage: 0-40 health over 8 seconds ⇒ 0-45 over 8 seconds (Note: maximum is unchanged at 25% remaining health)
Doran's Shield is a very strong early game purchase for both tanks and fighters that makes a lot of champions feel less punishable than desired. This nerf aims to lower the passive healing without discouraging interaction based healing.
- Base Health Regeneration: 6 health per 5 seconds ⇒ 4 health per 5 seconds
Patch 10.23 - 12/11/2020 Balance & Bugfixes
Patch 9.23
Melee regen increased, ranged regen decreased.
Buffing DShield's regen to make it a stronger option in melee vs ranged matchups.
v8.23
Passive regen now based on missing health.
Scaling regen means Doran's Shield will still be a powerful option against constant poke, but won't leave users impervious to all-ins.
v7.12
Costs more.
Doran's Shield should be your starting item when facing a bunch of harassment at early levels, but at its current tuning it’s the best items regardless of situations. We're pulling a potion off of it both to decrease its raw effectiveness and to make it have a harder time dealing with ganks and all-ins.
v7.9
No longer reduces damage from basic attacks or single-target spells. Now regenerates health after taking damage from an enemy champion.
Doran’s items give champions a lot of laning strength at the expense of mid-to-late game slot efficiency. In that context, Doran’s Shield is the item that lets you weather a tough lane, so we’re updating its passives to keep you in lane and help you last hit while you save up for your big-ticket items.
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!
Doran's Blade
Doran's Ring
Doran's Shield
Arcane Sweeper
The Lightbringer
Orb of Winter
Entropy
Wicked Hatchet
v5.22
Doran tunes his items carefully.
- Sorry guys!
- SORRY DORAN : Fixed a bug where Doran's Shield wasn't blocking 8 single target spell damage
v4.3
“We want Doran’s Shield to be a strong pick for countering ranged attack harassment, but its high defensive stats were making it a must-buy early item for some champions. We’re clarifying its strengths while toning down some of the power.”
