I am enjoying this game a lot! The movement and combat feels great but I was wondering how do you guys determine what items to buy and when?

Do you use the build browser and go L->R or is there a methodology you follow?

First I check what kind of heroes are on my team to see if I go spirit or gun, if my hero allows both. Then I go depending on the the enemy lane. If there is a enemy hero with a good counter item, I go for that, otherwise I try to build my damage items in order to push the enemy team back. If I get hurt to much, I then buy more green items as fits to my character and enemy heros.

Oh and I forgot: if the enemy team is getting too strong, it's time to buy the counter items that disarm/silence/dispell/counterspell them, depending on what area they are getting too strong.
