Save or Spend?

Do you guys feel it's better to save ur gold and buy ur items at the very end of the timer or take the time to get back and build the items up slowly? a combo of both? does it depend more on your build or is it just a preference in all games?

"Money's fer spendin"

Generally speaking, you should only spend your gold when you need to return to the base to heal, or right before duels. Early and mid game, you should try to spend as much of it as possible.

However, if you have an endless farm build (shockwave, mana steal, rejuv) then you might wanna consider returning to base 1 time between duels to gear up; when you have enough gold to complete an item.
