Don't bother buying a starter item on Chang'e, as her passive is to be able to buy from the shop outside of spawn. Buy the second tier boots, a couple of potions, and just wait a few seconds to buy the full boots, with extra cd and mana to put you ahead in fight.

Hi everyone to my first ever guide. Chang'e is one fun god to play, but you got to build her right to use her at her full potential! Here's my explanation on my go to build so far.
I start right away with the 'blue boots' or 'cd boots' to make sure I can use my passive as my advantage during early game. In arena, we can't buy the boots right away, but the moment the game starts, you can buy it with the little 50 gold missing away from spawn. Giving me a cd, mana and speed advantage early.
I like to rush chronos pendant to help me fight and spam abilities faster. The cd is beneficial on Chang'e, especially with 2 damaging abilities instead of 3 on most gods (not including the ultimate ability). Not only Chronos pendant gives me more cd, but also more mana regen, helping me not having to back as often as the rest of the gods.
I then go for the rod of Asclepius. It helps in team fights, giving an extra health to your teammates, giving you more health to last longer and also movement speed. Everytime you cast an ability on Chang'e, you get a slight movement speed boost, so having even more movement speed helps in order to go in a fight and retreat quickly, since her abilities are kind of close ranged in a way.
Having all this cd, it was impossible to just not go with the soul gem, and that for many reasons. I like to use Chang'e by spamming my abilities quite often. I get more cd, which caps me at full cd. I get more health, and I get lifesteal, which really helps in tight fights. Not only the stats of the item are beneficial, but also its passive is. That combined with the previous item, heals your team pretty quickly without having to think about it, and does an extra damage to the enemy. With the amount of cd you have at this point, you can get this passive to work about each 10 seconds.
Now the fun part. This ring is underrated to my opinion. It gives you an amazing passive, helping you to finish your target, gives you an amazing magical power and more movement speed. I will never say it enough. Chang'e with high movement speed is the key. It helps you to come in a fight, spam your abilities, and get out of the fight, as fast as you read this. It really feels like we are dancing around, dodging everything at this point, which really makes it fun to play.
Now, I know you don't really get to melt those tanks, but the mages and adcs though, always end up dead. The spear of desolation just helps to penetrate those tanky late game tanks and gives you more magical power (which we just can't deny). And its passive just increase the amount of time you can spam your abilities.
All right, I hear you now, telling me we are wasting 10% cd. Don't worry about it. Just change your boots to the purple boots to get even more penetration going ;)
That was my guide, hope you like it, make sure to comment and suggest more things.

Since you rush
I'm fine with
I find
Then you're going overboard on MS with
Another item which you haven't even mentioned is
So...as of now, my suggestion would be to change Focus to Magi, potentially drop Asclep, drop SG, drop Shaman's, consider Ob Shard against tanky comps, and consider Iso, Lotus Crown, and finally have a situational consideration for
I've played a ton of Arena myself, and the people I tend to play with seem to be mostly very solid players overall.
Some things I always look at when considering quality of players via match history...
- SmiteGuru Elo: Kriega will keep yelling about this one, but it gives a very general overview of the player's success rate in that mode, in a simple numerical value. I use it only as a very general indicator, as it's not a true value depicting a player's skill.
- Account Level: You're 88, but the player's you're matched up with in your link are almost all lower level. By 88, I'd consider you experienced overall, but when you've got level 29/39 in your matches, I'm not surprised you might have some inexperienced players. Negative here in some cases at least (maybe not PS4 with how accounts work) is that some of these accounts could be smurfs. Since I'm mainly a PC player, I would consider my PS4 account basically a smurf.
- Builds: Obvious when looking at player builds if they're generally knowledgeable or not. In your link, yet another
Loki with both a single crit item (
Deathbringer of course) and 
The Executioner. 
Cabrakan's build is great for an aggressive tank. 
Thor's build was awful, but he still went positive, and actually tanked a hell of a lot, which apparently was his goal. Cern's build was **** too, but he did a hell of a lot of damage. I'd chalk that up to the team he was playing against, cuz 
Ra and 
Ullr both fed like crazy. 
Chaac built 
Qin's Sais, 
Ne Zha also built Qin's as well as Wind Demon, etc., etc.
- Match Stats: For any single match, it's always interesting for me to see total damage dealt, taken, mitigated, etc...not just their KDA. You can see when people kill-steal, or if they actually did something significant. Take that Cab again...he went 10/5/17. He outdamaged your entire team @ around 32.5k, and also tanked a hell of a lot. And on your team, although Ra had a worse KDA than Ullr, I'd argue Ra contributed more, though his healing was ****.
- Individual Player Stats (Global KDA): if you want to look at some of the individual players in a match, check their KDA. That's often an indication of skill level. Average players will typically have about the same # of kills as deaths, depending on what roles they play, and their KDA will be around 2. More deaths than kills on average, unless they exclusively play tanks, isn't a great thing to see.
- Individual Player Stats (Win/Loss): This can vary depending on who they play with. If they team with good players a lot, their W/L can be artificially inflated...but in general, I've found it pretty telling if their W/L is under 50%, around 50%, or above.
As a side note,
