Description SMITE LORE (skip if you're not interested):
"Mightiest of the Aesir, warrior and king, the All-Father is a doomed God.
    It seems strange to imagine a God concerned with his fate, but Odin regularly consults the volva, the seers in the North. They speak of a final war, Ragnarok, when the mightiest Gods are slain and the world is consumed by the sea. For this day, Odin constantly prepares.
    The All-Father can trace his lineage to the evil Frost Giant, Ymir, whom he slew with the aid of his two brothers, Vili and Ve, and with his remains forged the world. Atop Asgard, where Odin presides, he is known as the bringer of war, a sage of wisdom, and the keeper of souls slain in battle.
    As a warrior, Odin rides his eight legged steed, Sleipnir, and wields the mighty spear Gungnir. Accompanying him are two wolves and his two trusted ravens, Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory), who fly around Midgard and return to Odin with all they see and hear.
    As a sage, Odin travels disguised as a simple wanderer, seeking wisdom. His thirst for knowledge has come at great personal cost, having been hanged from the branches of Yggdrasil, the world tree, for nine days and nights and sacrificed one of his eyes to the Well of Wisdom.
    As keeper of souls, Odin welcomes slain warriors to his mighty hall of Valhalla on the agreement they will aid him at Ragnarok. Favored female warriors become his elite Valkyrie that usher those worthy of entry to Valhalla.
    It is in preparation for the final days of Ragnarok he does all this. For the seers claim his death will come at the fangs of the great wolf Fenrir, and like anyone, Odin seeks to change his fate. Yet, never once have the volva been mistaken."

So, Odin was next, huh? Still not much of a problem here. I would've loved it if he actually had his two ravens flying around. HiRes even changed his passive, now he has little to do with ravens at all.. They're scouts, not weapons or shields...

Other than that, I like his design. Heavily armored, neatly decorated and with a neat weapon. Too bad it's mostly hidden behind him... I also love his beard with the three braids (two braids in his mustache in the old skin). Pretty clever. His eyepatch is on the other side of his head.. Of course...

On to the next one.

I agree about his ravens, but unfortunately skills have to be useful other than bond to the myth!

It's not always so easy: the previous passive didn't even show the ravens! At least now you see them in a skill! What I really miss on Odin is his horse :/ I would love to see Sleipnir as one of his skills!

Yeah, that was something I found lacking as well... He had a raven passive, where it would've been awesome to see them flying around, but they don't... Stupid...
Sleipnir would've been cool too, maybe the same as Suzu for Awilix? Personally I would've preferred Huginn and Muninn over Sleipnir..

Or maybe he could have used the same ultimate of Guam Yu,  giving another ultimate to the Chinese warrior

yep, probably! But I don't know what kind of skill he could use xD!!
He just rides it for some time, and he can attack enemies, and when he jumps off the horse, he stuns the enemies XD
