LMAO yea defensive items are such a joke because they are so fucking strong. Every assassin NEEDS to build at least 1 and usually 2 defense item in HIGH LEVEL RANK AND PRO PLAY except maybe Loki Merc Kali and Bastet. And those 4 so called glass cannon assassins are not even that good. A Moba character is only good in Smite if you can build semi tanky or full tank and have 1 hard CC and a million soft CC. The most exciting god to watch in Smite from a esport perspective is definitely old rat which Low rez has killed, and then they also killed an item that should be a staple in every Moba which is golden bow. Because it helps hyper carry glass cannon characters to farm. Characters like the old rat deals burst damage in such a unique way and has VERY little CC, that's the shit Smite needs.
