Doran's Blade — Stats, and How It Compares With Doran's Bow
450gold
Good starting item for attackers
Doran's Blade is a 450-gold start: 10 Attack Damage, 80 Health and 2.5% Omnivamp, and it builds into nothing. Doran's Bow costs 50 less and swaps the Health for 15% Attack Speed, with 8 AD and 1.5% Omnivamp. Patch 25.21 put Blade back on omnivamp so ability users heal from it too; top laners were 62% of its holders in our count.

Not priced, because Riot sells no single-stat item for omnivamp — so this figure covers the rest.

Why, in Riot's words
We're moving Doran's Blade back to its 14.1 version with omnivamp because the item is meant to serve more than just attackers, but instead a wide range of AD champions, such as those who rely on abilities do deal their damage.
