Ratatoskr Dev Insight

Link is here.

I'm pretty hyped for this one! So many different build types and combinations are possible that I don't know how long it would even take to figure him out. So much flexibility with him once you're in game.

Also damn this guy is cute :3

They finally released a Norse god after release day with Ullr and has a entire pantheon of harden warriors to chose from the Nordics, and they chose a squirrel... really. I'm fine with the new god, but seriously a squirrel.

He's just so damn cute. :o

His kit is pretty weird, but I think he will be a late-game dominator with his extra item/pen and bonus passives

I have to admit, he is pretty cute.

If I read this correctly he is more mobile than serqet and has not only the most versatile, but also most powerful passive I recognize.
And he's norse AND he has style!

God, I hope I don't suck at him :o

BTW have you tried to click on the nut on the far bottom of the linked page in OP? Do it with audio :D

He looks really fun to play as and his passive is cool, glad that they are making an interesting on rather then something like "He gains physical power, because we ran out of ideas!"

I do smell him being Bellona OP, at least on release. But who knows, Hi-rez might prove me wrong.

Either way I'm going to have a hard time choosing which game to play! As Smite is getting a Squirrel assassin and Leauge Of Legends is getting a time traveling assassin! I'm looking forward to instant locking and feeding as both of them when they come out!

PS. And of course Hi-rez pumps out two fan service skins, well at least all sexuality gets some eye candy...

Omg that's great

After trying him out in pts his abilities do have quite a lot of depth. His 1 could theoretically be used against every member of an enemy team in a teamfight because of its instant cooldown (which would be huge with Opal applying on hit effects including crits and Hydra's Lament), his 2 can be used as a slow or used in conjunction with his 1 to space the acorns so that more hit enemies and his 3 can be damage or a heal which gives him solo lane potential. The only boring part of his kit, at least that I find, is his ultimate. It's got a cool animation, but it's essentially just a Thor ult without the stun and a bigger radius (although it does make quite a good escape if needed).

His kit is boring.

His dash is really a Nem dash, only it plays better.

His ult, like Zilby says, is basically yet another "semi-global jump" ult.

His cone attack is unimaginative, and so is his AoE circle attack.

Remove the acorn particles from his kit, and it's so boring and bland-looking.

The only really outstanding thing about him is his acorn, and it's barely anything to write about. It's a gimmick - you just give one of your abilities an extra effect...and that's it. He's about as exciting as vanilla ice cream with your choice of caramel, chocolate, or vanilla syrup...while you're inside an ice cream shop with over a dozen flavors and toppings, you get something that's pretty bland.
