You should use VANISH when attacking and then AIMED STRIKE. You should only use ASSASSINATE if someone is fleeing and you can't reach them or for escape. Also if you're caught in a team fight and everyone is targeting you then you could use assassinate to flee.
I have edited the build so it doesn't involve crit or attack speed. Please don't judge cause as I said in the comments that I am just starting out after a long period of not playing. I appreciate any recommendations for this build and I am going to be trying different builds and items to see which one is best for Loki.

It's my comment on another's Loki build, and more specifically talks about crits, damage progression, S6 changes to Loki, etc. These will give you specific reasons why crit items are just not that good for him.
I'll throw in the specific comment that applies to crit, and edit for context.
If you understand this, you will never suggest crits for Loki. Power, pen, and CDR is his game.
You may absolutely be having success with him, and we're not taking that away from you. Especially as you're just starting out again, your matchmaking level is probably low, and you can probably get away with more than you would otherwise. It's just, when you understand the mechanics and calculations underneath SMITE's surface, some things become very apparent.
Loki is an ability-based god, not an AA-based one. With that in mind, he must build power and penetration items, not items that boost attack speed or crit damage. Please, NEVER build crit on Loki, it’s a meme at this point.
A better arena build:
Attacker's Blessing > Warrior Tabi > Jotunn's Wrath > Hydra's Lament > The Crusher > Bloodforge > sell blessing for Titan's Bane.
1. Loki is busted;
2. People don’t know how to play against him;
3. You might be playing against unexperienced players;
4. Arena is a universe on it’s own, where meta doesn’t exist.
*For those of you who don't get the joke: there is no ranked Arena mode.
Where's nothing exist and I can make a full damage Xing Tian and get 23 kills/2 deaths :V
It's just full "putaria" and teamfights
