So the sub. Every single reply I watched Odin and Nemesis got banned. I like to play Odin, his ult is good if team is good, but is it so gamebreaking that he get banned always?

Odins passive gives him a huge advantage for seeing tanks and enemy movement. Not only that, Odin has an escape, high defense and one of the major circle ult combos w/ Zeus/Poseidon/Isis/Cupid/Ymir. He's a top tier warrior, and nemesis is still pretty beefy.

What Greenevers said, as well, his Jump has the most damage out of any Level 1 ability, including ults. I'm pretty sure of that fact.

All that has been mentioned. At level 2: Jump and archer minions and enemy ADC, use Gungnir's Might and bam that's about half of the adc's hp.

Odin has been good for a long time (don't know what's your ratio of new, but it's been like that since before the launch tournament.

Odin's just flexible all around. Most people think he only works well with Hades/Zues/Poseidon/etc. But he doesn't. I'll break down why he's solid.

His skillset is overall solid. He has a double hit slow that has very high base damage, a team-based buff, which actually very few tanks have (Ares does, but eh.), he has a gap closer, and a positional ult that can be used in many ways. His ult is known for the wombo combo's - lock people in, follow it up with a super-hitting ult like Zeus's, wreck the team. But say you don't have that: it's still amazing. Locking mages and ADC's inside with your bruisers can be amazing, OR locking people in to keep them AWAY from your team. It's still a very very solid positional CC, whether it's used to kill them or not.

Now, otherwise, he's very flexible. He can be in the duo lane with his insane damage and ADC attack speed buff, OR in the solo lane, because his HP5, base damage, and natural tankiness, is still very good for 1v1. Finally, I've even seen some jungle odins, because his gapcloser, slow, and at level 5, lock-in, is something most mages and ADC's can't deal with when ganking.

So Odin's banned because he's just so flexible and powerful through all stages of the game. He's not overpowered, like, he won't melt your team or insure a win...he's just got no downside in 95% of the games. It's hard to beat someone with no downside.

Yeah, people used to call him the weakest warrior, even with his four passives. I think he started to rise in popularity as a jungler about the same time Agni mid did, since, you know, he's the only jungler who can actually gank a competent Agni. That's when people opened their eyes to his strengths, and so on.
