The new level up rewards are adequate; I love the free voice pack (used it for Skadi for that ski patrol skin) and the 50% skin discount coupon was well used for Elite Agent [[Apollo]. Getting the Lore Lady announcer was the icing on top of the (Never)cake.

Skill 3: Mobility skill.
Skill 4 is pretty much different, but i'd agree that giving him a simple dash-execute is a bit of a cop-out (not that there's much you can work with Achilles, anyways).
I don't know, i've been playing more Heroes of the Storm than Smite recently, and one of the things that Heroes of the Storm does better compared to Smite is how unique and diverse their heroes are. Smite doesn't feel that way.
Also I thought I was the only one that thinks
