^When I make a build for a champion, I am taking everything into account (Runes, Masteries, what I am likely to face...) but I never change it because it is designed to face everything by late game. I only change the build ORDER when playing, taing what is most needed first. I also change my starting items if necessary (I won't take a Doran's shield VS Vlad and Fiddle jungle for instance).

So far, this technique has always worked very well. I sometimes reconsider my builds when they are not efficient against a particular meta, but that's it.

NOT preparing what you are going to build often results in non-optimal setups, with like 45% CDR or overkill armor, and I dislike that. Calculating everything before playing takes me a lot of time, but one I have found an well-rounded build, I usually never change it unless the item or champion balanced gets changed by RIOT.

It's just my way of seeing things.
