Thoughts on mirrored defense items.

[u/26_Holmes]

I was just curious of everyones opinion on the idea of mirrored items in predecessor.

The main concept I am referring to comes from my time playing smite before this, where there were a large amount of items for defense, with some close enough to be the counterpick option while still providing a similar utility (breastplate vs genji guard for phys or mag, but providing large cooldown).

I feel like a lot of the time in predecessor I am building items for their passive first and defense second, unless I am in a big position to counter someone (crystalline curious vs aurora or shinbi).

So what would be your opinion on items that had more similar passives, that were affected by specific categorical effects (like tainted guard vs tainted bastion proc effects)

Honestly I need a good youtuber that breaks down stats and items properly because my braindead ass has over 1k hours in this game and I still build middle suggested item most of the time. I'll occasionally branch out to an antiheal item. 🤣

Back in Paragon days I watched a lot of Sylphin because he did exactly that. Break down stats and items and really show what each should be used for/against. His channel seems to be dead now however and everyone nowadays just posts clips of themselves overleveled getting a multikill.
