I would consider armor when attacks and other physical damage account for most of my health loss. It is a clear answer to a damage type, rather than every enemy at once.

RUSLAN / IN-GAME DECISION

How I decide

«I buy Helm for physical trading and recovery between trades.»

Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
01 Situation
I need armour and health regeneration on the way to an upgrade chosen beforehand.
02 My decision
I use both bonuses in lane and check whether another kind of protection has become more important.
03 What I avoid
Keep choosing physical protection when most deaths already come from magic.
02 / MY GUIDELINE

When I would buy it

Once I can see who is hitting me; I fit the component into my next item.

04 / HERO AND TASK

Which heroes I would try it on

Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.

05 / ANOTHER ANSWER

What to compare it with

Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.

Builds into

Connections through Valve recipes. Owning a component does not oblige me to buy its upgrade immediately.
