NOTE: This achievement is still highly bugged.
This sounds harder than it is because the wording is a little off. This is not a triple kill achievement. This is 3 kills using the ult in a match. I never obtained a double kill with the ult but still obtained the achievement.
EDIT: The achievement may have been patched and does require a triple kill. However, i still get message stating that people don't get a triple and just get 3 kills and it still unlocks. This leads me to believe that the only thing that is confirmed is that it is still bugged.
I played a round of arena, go for combat blink active. I was able to jump in and ult almost every time. Make sure you target low health low defense gods who don't have a real escape. You can end the ult early by pressing RB if you need to so secure a kill.
Other players will attempt to steal kills on low health gods so be patient.
I used the recommended items with the exception of combat blink active.
If you downvote leave a reason why. I will make edits / add tips if provided.

As this achievement description has changed, and the solution by Immortal x Dead is no longer correct, I thought I'd add a new solution.
This award now states;
"As Ymir, kill three enemy gods at once with your ultimate."
Ymir's ultimate is Shards of Ice. When activated, a large circle will appear around you and ice will slowly spread from when you're standing to the outside of the circle. It takes 3 seconds to reach the outside ring. It applies a 30% slow to all enemies who are trapped on the ice before the explosion.
This ability can inflict massive damage on unfortunate enemies, however only if you allow the ice to reach the outside edge. You can choose to detonate the ability early, although it does reduced damage depending on how soon you detonate it.
Enemies with movement abilities can jump out of the area, as can those that have beads or an ability that makes them crowd control (CC) immune, as the slow is removed. This achievement is awkward to get, however will come with time. I've played Ymir a little and have twice got close to getting this achievement.
The blink relic is basically essential, allowing you to jump into a group of enemies. Your other abilities are also key here. Use blink to jump towards grouped up enemies, then either use your Ice Wall to block enemies in, or your frost breath to freeze enemies in place for a second or two, or both. Once they're caught in place, immediately use you ultimate to start freezing up the area, as long at least 3 gods are caught in it. Remember, the longer you're charging the ult, the stronger it is, up to 3 seconds. Explode it when you think the time is right and you should pick up a triple kill.
While Ymir is a guardian, and building standard items still allows you to unlock it (my two closest attempts at this were while built as a guardian), you can also build hybrid or outright damage, making it easier for you to secure kills, but sacrificing your survivability.
Items such as Gem of Isolation (which increases the slow on your ult) and Soul Reaver would help.
You'll also have to watch out for allies taking your kills and enemies collapsing on you (as you're rooted in one spot when using your ult).

I don't know if this has any wiggle room on the suggested criteria (like damage three Gods with your ultimate/4 at a single time and then kill them afterwards) but I haven't unlocked this yet so I'm pretty much just doing this guide to confirm that you can not unlock this by killing one God three separate times (as may have been the case at one point, at least it was/is on the Xbox version).
In order to most effectively go for this you'll need to counter-productive to how Ymir is usually played. Normally you want to be the first one in the fight but in this case you want your enemies to be slightly weakened.
Use Blink to get in, then use Curse (you'll need to be level 12 to get two Artifacts. Then hit your enemies with 3, 2 and set up a wall so your enemies can't escape with your 1. The ordering of things after Blink can be changed somewhat, it's very situational.
Building magical items would be ideal as most people will try to run away once you start your ultimate so defense won't be necessary for this achievement but maybe notify your team that you won't be building tanky items. Although to still maintain your God role somewhat maybe a tanky/magical hybrid build would be best.
Don't forget that you can cancel your ultimate at any point in the charge to cash in on the damage built up if you're afraid a enemy might escape, it just might be enough to kill everyone.
You can do this in any mode with a minimum of three enemies which is all the normal default modes; Arena, Conquest, Joust, Clash, Assault (you'll need to get lucky and get Ymir from the start, a re-roll or a trade) and lastly Siege.
Most Match of the Day (MOTD) will have 3+ team events but sometimes you won't get to pick your God and some days it may be a 2v2 or 1v1 special match. Some MOTD's can hep you in giving you maximum reduced cooldowns from the start or a lot of gold so you can have a completed build but this works against you too as opponents that have escape abilities/attacks can get away more times and your opponents may be able to withstand your ultimate with their completed item builds.

The game tells you you can't work on achievements in MOTD.

That must have been something added later, I unlocked many achievements in MOTD queue on both Steam and Xbox.

The wording for the description to this achievement is a bit off. You must simply kill three enemies with Ymir's ultimate (
). It does not need to be a triple kill or three in one ultimate. The achievement is slightly glitched and may not unlock properly so it is advised to try and boost it.
