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?

    This gets easier as you become more familiar with all the items and their interactions.

    I maintain my own builds for all the heroes I play.

    When I pick up a new hero I generally play a few games completely improvising, so I get a feel for what does and doesn’t click for me with that hero, so I can cover my weaknesses and build to my strenghts.

    As an example, when I started off with Mina, I went for fire rate to make getting love bites easier. Eventually I noticed my feel for her gun was good enough that I no longer needed it.

    I plan out three tiers of items to try to buy every game, and then I have an “optional” category of a bunch of stuff that might be contextually useful, or fun to try.

    If I find something fun or effective, I move it to the main categories.
