It is when most people can ' t actually gear for defense that much to begin with . In terms of what you can build for , most heroes don ' t have a defense or offense build . They have a ranged or melee or summoner dps build . the entire defense system is lackluster in this gameThere is tons of ways to gear for defence , you can get defensive artifacts , legendary , relics , uru , insignias with defensive affixes , defensive medallions , defensive core affixes . Basically there are defensive options for every character gear slot . THere are even defensivly oriented allhero uniques . You have acces to various defensive omega nodes and defensive hero synergies . There is a plethora of defensive options . But nobody gears for defence or even try to make balanced builds , becouse all you need to avoid damage is unlimited dashingteleporting and quick enough reflexes . Its simple . There is no sense or incentive to pick defensive gear over offensive , not beocuse there are no options , but becouse its just pointless due to unlimited movement . Why using defensive gear if you can easly avoid damage with spammable dashteleport ? and they ' re outright removing an entire tree from every single hero in the game . Not sure what are you talkign about . They are replacing one tree with talent tree , but almost all skills stay in the gamethere is literrally few skills that are removed and its usualy acc break that is moved to dashdeleport . All skills are just moved to two other trees . Variety will comehopefully from talents and the fact that we will have only one bar now . That should kill all the one build to rule them all builds where you take every available damage layeroften onepointing and play with bar hopping . Also movement changes will hopefully force us to gear for defence more , not just DPS .
