I don't feel like he's original to be honest... Sure he can change melee and ranged, but his other skills are just boring. He's kinda fun to play, since he has a lot of skills, and they are different from eachother but they are basically just copies from other gods.
Ullr feels a bit different though. He might be a mashup of all the gods present, but still, to use all the different abilities on one god does feel different. So i wont agree on the feeling of being all the same. Though if you take into consideration the switch stance ability, i have to say i am rather disappointed. The fun it is to stance dance with Tyr and Hel it, is not as much fun to do with Ullr. All in all i have to say i dont see him becoming a god i will be looking forward to master in the future days.
I just started playing right before Ullr became playable, and he's one of my favorite so far, but since I haven't played everyone yet I can see why you guy are calling him boring.
Yeah Ullr is now my second god with my most worshippers, to me he's really fun, yes his kit may not be original, but do they have to change it! It has worked before! But I do think the melee/ranged is cool, there's not been a god in smite to really do that (If you don't count Freya who is all melee except 1 ability). I don't know that's just my opinion and I'm defending him since he's one of my favorite gods outside and in Smite.
I don't think he's bad, but I don't think he's great. His stance switch from ranged to melee is pretty unique in itself, though it is true that the rest of his skills tend to be a re-hash from others. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does lessen how unique of a god he can be a bit, and might make him a bit more boring than what we've come to expect from new gods/goddesses.
Me personally, I like playing him more in his bow stance, as I'm sure most people do. Honestly, I feel his melee stance is more useful as an escape or a chase, rather than maining with it. Playing him, I've found myself mostly using his melee stance to set up kills for my bow, such as jumping in, stunning, switching my stance, and unloading my bows abilities on the person. Every once in a while, I'll actually use my axes if I'm up close on them, but more times than not, that stance is just a free stun and escape/chase for me.
So, in all honesty, as much as I'd like to defend him, I can agree he's a bit boring and that I'd rather choose a different ADC over him in most situations.

Using his bow is generally more efficient, since it has more attack speed from his ult.
He does have a very nasty combo actually. Melee mode start -> jump -> stun -> stance change -> power steroid -> artemis arrow bomb wannabe -> spirit arrow wannabe -> they should be dead as hell, but AA if they arent.
I agree there are no new mechanics to him, but his stun lasts foreeeever and if you combo it right, the burst is ******ed.
I'm NOT saying he's bad. Au contraire, his stun is ****ing bul****.
I'm saying he's BORING as all hell. I like having tricks on my own or some uniqueness when I play; An interesting ult like neith's, everything that AMC has... you get my point. I don't play this god or that one because he has a nice waveclear and a good combo, but because they're fun.
In fact, I HATE that Ullr changes stances. Granted, that's his unique thingy yadda yadda and whatever you want. But since he's a couple gods combined, AT LEAST he could have an ult that keeps him different from the rest.
He doen't. He's super boring to watch and boring to play as as well. I rather have neith's backflip, Anhur's pillar, Honey, Bolas, heals and tusky from the other gods.
I've never wanted to play a god less than Ullr. I don't play poseidon because I suck with it.
I don't play Ullr because he makes me snore. And I rather suck *** than having to drink coffee before playing.
