Have you ever seen the utter devastation that can result when a Cupid ults alongside an Odin or Hades? If you trap someone in a small area like that for as long as Odin's ult is, that person is dead with any kind of lane partner help if they're squishy or a little more focus if they have defense. Add a cripple to his ult and it's an instant kill if 'anyone' is caught, including gods like Anubis who are forced into Combat Blink as is.

The secret to making Odin's ult really hurt is to watch for escape abilities. People are very fast to use them in my experience, even when their life isn't in danger. Did the enemy Anhur just jump to land some extra damage? The clock should go off in your head that you have around 15 seconds to dunk him and set up an easy kill for you or your lane mate. Enemy Cupid who thinks he's gonna run away with his dash? Buy Blink and get on in him immediately, or just bait out the dash in other ways. You can close in on him with Sprint and force him to dash for 300 gold on a 60 second cooldown. Now you have your jump free to set up an ult on a squishy carry with no dash.

There's one major gripe I have about Odin... his Ultimate. It sucks and just about every character has a means to jump out of it and completely avoid it. Meanwhile Odin gets locked out of his jump ability every time any other god uses their Ult. So why can't Odin's Ult lock out every other god's escape ability like his gets locked?

What's the reasoning behind this? It makes no sense.

Allow my to list a few gods of the top of my head that can't escape the ring.

Gods that can only escape by using their own ults: , (sort of), (sort of), , , .

I don't know if those were all, but it's a pretty big list. "Just about every character" cannot just jump out of it. A lot of these gods are also squishies that are perfect candidates for trapping, so I don't see what you're complaining about.

I also don't get this line: "Meanwhile Odin gets locked out of his jump ability every time any other god uses their Ult".

What do you even mean? Very few ultimates have cripples. You can jump out of Agni's, Anhur's, Anubis's, Ares's (not that it helps), Bacchus's, Isis's, He Bo's, you name it. The only ults that disable your jump are those with a cripple, which are only Bakasura and Cupid if I remember correctly, and ultimates with hard CC, but these have to actually hit. Ultimates like Spirit's Tempest, and do have hard CC, but if you react quickly enough you can jump away before they hit you. I don't see the problem.
