So, this is my idea, I bloody hope you like it, it took me forever to write due to me accidently closing the window so I had to rewrite everything. Anyways, hope you liked it and please leave any thoughts in the comments!

Have a wonderful day! //VultokoFredrik

The idea is good but some bonus passive or OP but some are kinda useless, like this:
OP : Ymir : his 3 will be enough to land ult and most squishy will instantly die
Ne Zha : 5 attacks will be 1200 if all crit (haven't include physical power and landing)
Xbal : too hard to counter

Useless : Freya : more seconds will be useless since she can only shoot 4 and movement speed is not really needed, i could land 4 of it easily.
Neith : Not so useful as it usually for chasing enemies but without allies (1 s is enough also to get a kill
Ares : Not so useful as it is still countered by beads and the attacks are not increased

Also, the third tier for assassin should be physical power while carry attack speed

And this item would be mandatory on all gods!! =)

Thank you for the nice response :D

About the Freya ultimate, it was meant to also increase the shots, changed it now.

I'll see what I can do with the other you mentioned.

Just going to share my thoughts on these.

Agni: Very nice. This would be incredibly helpful for him.

Anhur: Ehh, no one would really care for this. I know this may make it borderline broken, but I think that simply making this ability penetrate units would make it so much better.

Anubis: My god, this will be scary. making it 5 seconds is very strong in itself.

Ao Kuang: Range isn't a problem. If anything, I'd want extra width on this.

Aphrodite: Really strong, but I guess it'll be fine.

Apollo: Really useless. Mana and speed is not a problem at all with Apollo's ultimate. If it were me, I would make the damage tick 6 times as opposed to 4, and maybe make the delay between targeting and landing shorter, although that wouldn't really help more experienced players.

Arachne: Once again, not really what you'd want. If anything, I'd prefer a faster missile speed and longer range, not a long stun.

Ares: I have no idea why you would want this. If anything, you should make the time Ares has to move longer, so he can pull enemies further.

Artemis: Pretty useful.

Athena: Also a very nice item to pick up.

Bacchus: Would be annoying to face, but it'll be a good pick up for Bacchus.

Bakasura: Instead of movement speed, I'd rather have attack speed or bonus damage. This ability already slows.

Bastet: Very good. I also think an extra cat would be a nice touch.

Chronos: Meh. It's alright I suppose.

Cupid: Insanely broken. It'd be best to make it a longer mesmerize, to give more time for allies to position themselves. After all, that's what a mesmerize is for.

Fenrir: Oh god, please no. This ability is annoying as it is...

Freya: Pretty good.

Guan Yu: Solid.

Hades: Also very solid.

He Bo: Really good.

Hel: I'm sure you can be much more creative than this.

Hercules: Pretty good as it is. Maybe also make the duration/distance it can roll longer.

Hun Batz: I guess....

Isis: Doesn't feel like a very meaningful buff.

Kali: Kali needs cc on this ability, not extra movement speed....

Loki: Pretty good.

Neith: Broken. Now there's literally no counterplay to this ability.

Poseidon: Not really what this ability needs.

Ra: Once again, not really what this ability needs.

Sobek: Really bad. Making the submerge time longer just means 2 more seconds of Sobek doing nothing in teamfights. Also, if I'm reading this right, Sobek gains 15% more protections when this ability is active? So he gains protection when he's underwater and untargetable?

Thor: Probably the best of the lot. I was expecting more substantial changes, such as this one.

Vamana: Meh. I guess it works.

Vulcan: A really good buff.

Xbalanque: It's alright I guess. Still, 30 damage is pretty useless....

Ymir: Borderline broken I'd say. Ymir's stun is 2 seconds. So now, you could potentially guarantee 1200+ damage to a whole entire enemy team.

Zeus: If you made lightning strike faster, then what's the point of a longer duration? No idiot is going to walk back into it.

Thank you for this great response! I'll talk about some things:

Anhur: I think i'll change this to increase duration or the number of spears, but it accually already pierces through units if i'm not mistaking.

Apollo: You are right, although i stall want the extra speed.

Arachne: I thought about increasing the range, but it is already annoing and frustrating because of the 20 s cooldown. In my ears that sounded a bit OP.

Chronos: What else is there to do really :P This is a very simple ultimate that can't be changed that much.

Cupid: You are right.

Fenrir: >:D

Isis: Yeah, I think I'll increase the damage instead.

Kali: Maybe a cripple and a slow? It would fit the theme, as she is litterally throwing razorsharp sickles around her.

Neith: Yeah, i know, but i don't really know what to do with it. Before it was useless (it had increased stun duration based on how far the arrow had traveled) so I replaced it with this. I'll see what I can do.

Poseidon: What does it need then?

Ra: Yeah you are right, maybe increase range?

Sobek: I'll see what I can come up with.

Thor: This is the first upgrade that I came up with, and therefore the most creative. I would like to have theese kind of ideas on every god, but it's kind of hard. Feel free to leave ideas in the comments :)

Xbalanque: I don't know what to do with it! I personally think that it's the most boring ultimate in the game!

Oh, and Ares: What should I do? if i decrease the time between casting and pulling, Ares looses his mobility, but if I increase it, enemies will have more time to react.

I suggest this on Neith : you can instantly cast it and either longer stun or more damage or both
And on Xbalanque, the darkness is longer and your movement speed + range is more.
Eidt : And on ares, keep the shorter time but ares move much faster

This seems very much like aghanim's scepter in dota and I kind of like the idea, but I can see that this would be BROKEN on some gods :|
Anyways, try to balance it that every1 gains something and maybe decrease the price of the supports' and the tanks' items, because they usually don't have that much gold and this could help.

Anhur: It doesn't pierce enemies. In fact, it even stops on creeps.

Apollo: Extra speed is fine I suppose.

Chronos: Maybe make it rewind you further back in time, but within a shorter period of time.

Kali: Perfect.

Neith: It still needs some form of counterplay.

Poseidon: Damage. It's really lacking compared to some other mages.

Ra: Or width/give it cc.

Xbalanque: Remember that this ultimate also gives Xbalanque a buff. Also, increasing the duration of this ult also increases the duration the enemy has no vision, as well as the buff for Xbalanque.
