With the new Creeping Curse at level 3, you can freeze > curse > ult and only gods with a jump/dash not on cooldown will be able to escape.
I'm not exactly sure how movement speed debuffs work, do they stack? Do they reduce based on current speed or "normal" speed? Though it does seem like it will take the greatest reduction (ex. creeping curse's 50% over the ult's 30%).
I've always used the ult with the wall, freeze, then body block, and only use it if I can body block or force them to go towards my team. In laning phase I won't put points into it if they opponents have leaps. So, yeah, it's pretty situational. But I bet you a good Ymir player is one who can use their ultimate correctly, which is essentially body blocking and timing.
I have a hard time hitting the ult too, usually I save it for saving someone. Like previous posters said, when someone sees a Ymir ult, they tend to run (and not always in a healthy direction).
There's 3 situations where i am most likely to land an ult
1. Gold Fury / Fire Giant battles - literally just run in and ult - wall off if you're that insecure, but you can take out an entire team like that if you're lucky (hehehe)
2. Jungle chasing - drop a good blocking wall and ult. rarely will they get out of this one
3. Teamfights - run just past the enemy (you're tank, you don't matter right?) and ult. forces the enemies without leaps to go *into* your teammates in order to avoid it
also works as a great deterrent for zoning an enemy - tank a phoenix and ult so your teammates can tear it down etc.
