You could use your 2 when he goes in stealth and you think he's going for the skill, so you have immunity for
If Achilles was real I would have so much fun with his 4.
Just to say a loki would make him useless in league and that
It doesn't really mind if it would be in ranked. damn according to the contest you could even plop the kid into LoL or make a DotA kit (which would throw of the contest maker a lot)
Without any sound hint about it, it could create some surprise combo.
This would lead to a paranoia by the enemy team : is it really Achilles in front of me, or is this Ares about to ult me ?
As for the duration, I cannot tell if 10 seconds is too powerful or not.
Probably very strong during a teamfight, where the 10 whole seconds are being used.
Probably not that strong if you require some time to show up disguised.
I hesitated to push it back to 10 seconds, but maybe it's too powerful in that case.
I wonder how useful this could be if there are no teammate nearby.
If he would disguise as something else, at least it could be used when hidden, so that when you attack, enemy would not know who he is facing.
However, that 5 second duration is not enough for this scenario.

I know how to update my ability now! \o/
(I'll do that in the morning)
Or, to avoid a complete negation (since if the disguise is dispelled, you are not longer able to stun), you could keep this disguise, but your enemy would still see you normally.
So, you think you are disguised while you are not, making ward a good counter while not completely cancelling it.
Even if it's different, this could be a replacement for this weird ult.
It's from Official SMITE Magazine #12, page 28.
Look for the 2nd ability, Escape of the Trickster.
You may look all like a god of the enemy, who cares if they know it's not one of them.
The point is they don't know who you are, and what ability is coming to you.
You can now mix it with the ability to avoid first shots of tower.
Hum... There are two options in that case, either the disguise is dispelled because of the ward (which makes it a ward detector, but not passive), or being in the sight of a ward is no longer blocking you from transforming, but might help enemies detect you.
