We know that AoE is out of hand lately in the game.
Defense up is a buff mostly ignored. If it comes asa bonus no one complains, but no one builds a team towards it because it's not a winning strategy.
Currently AoE is a winning strategy and has no proper counter. You pit AoE vs. AoE and hope for RNG to favor you.
IMO Defense up could be made a lot more valuable buff by making it extra effective against AoE and crit chance.
IMO Defense up should either divide the enemy's chance to crit by 2, or reduce it by a flat 50%. THat makes it a lot more desirable to have against AoEs and targeted attacks.
Defense up should also divide AoE damage by 2, making the defended characters much more sturdy against AoE.
That would be a good shakeup to make AoE teams less of a death machine they currently are.

Defense up does not feel like it makes enough of a difference.
Also, AoE teams are getting out of hand. AoE needs to be more counterable, not just by rispostes, but by having mechanics to reduce its effectiveness.
IMO it should double the damage mitigation. It is just currently a useless debuff.
