Thoughs on items system in smite 2

What are your thoughts on items in smite 2? Ive made the transiton from smite 1 to smite 2 a long while ago, yet i still havent really come to like the item system change in it. I know it may sound wierd but the seperated item trees have made the store a real bother to go through. Honestly I dont really like the active item system. I think having the old relic system with the old starter system would be better then the trade off we have now. Also, I really liked the way that smite 1 did items. Ive always been indifferent to the item systems in other moba's like LOL and thought the simplified yet still complex way that smite 1 did it was better. What are your thoughts? Should double relic come back or should things stay the way they are?

Tldr: Should the smite 1 item/relic system come back in smite 2? (Not talking about the str/int) system.
