What are your thoughts on this annoying little guy ?

I , for one , find him a bit overpowered . I was surprised to lose against this guy 1 vs 1 (4/4 score) in a match I've played with Athena . On level 20 , last time he killed me he had 3400 + damage on his basic attack , i'm guessing he had some elixir and/or potion + speed buff which gives him phys power from his passive .His abilities may not do a lot of damage but are sure very annoying , especially his 3 .And with no Magical protection he was pretty resilient since I expected to kill him easily with my 1/spear -> 2/spear combo with Polynomicon

I find him very very squishy, and lacking in his Made You Look - too long to activate, but his scaling off of speed basically assures that he not only can keep up, but he can do damage. He may be the only god where Fatalis and Golden Bow are more than just acceptable, but actually recommended or core.
IMO, Ninja Tabi, Fatalis, Heartseeker, Golden Bow, Bloodforge, and Deathbringer/Frostbound is a very good setup for him.

I haven't played as him, and I haven't played a Conquest game since the patch, but I dislike his ultimate.

Not too bad, I haven't had much issue with him. Seems to be a good solo lane, and thats it. Not too much of a fan.

Haven't found him to be too bad, but I've never played a good one, so... His 3 is definitely annoying, and his ult is... lets just say its fun to watch on people who are new with him. Especially in Arena. WHEEEEEEEEE!

He doesn't look like he will be viable as jungler in conquest. He really only starts getting good once he's starts maxing his 1. He will probably be able to lane pretty well, especially due to his 1 being a very unique poke.

Overall, I'm not that impressed by him. Especially after getting Thanatos before him.

4 -> 2 -> 1 -> 3... he can jungle. And his ganks are annoying.

His 1 is unique, his 2 is what makes him Mercury, and his 3 is just plain annoying.

I agree on the fact that it's fun to watch n00b mercuries trying his ult - they always do it to the maximum range. "Imma discombobulate him - oops, I'm at the enemy minotaur!"

I tried him in Practice Joust and I lol'd sooooo hard when I went from my Tower into the bot's Tower with the ult XD

That combo involves you getting him to level five to be effective at jungling. While other gods can do it quite effectively at level one.
