So... why is it some items are announced in the chat when you buy them and others arent?
I find it really odd that trinkets, and a few other items are all announced in the chat, but some items arent. Is there some criteria as to what items show up?

Items that have team-oriented actives or passives are announced in chat.
Items that may be team related and provide team related actives or provide vision or auras are the items that usually pop up in chat. Wards and ward related items always show up in chat, and actives such at talisman and face of the mountain are shown. Other items that teams may want to take note (so they don't buy 2) are also shown such as frozen heart and locket.
And in spectator mode all final items are shown in chat.
yeah pretty much any item that has an active or an aura will be shown, otherwise it only benefits you directly
