it defeats the uniqueness to his smokes tbh. Other orb-type smokes are point and click, which makes them easier to use and less precision needed, but it also limits them from doing the one ways that omen was able to do. Omen's smokes are harder to properly placed bc the player has to work with a 3d projection of the real map, not just the bird eye view from top down. I think Riot should have nerfed his flash or his tp, his flash is way too overpowered for stalling and initiation, he has 2 tp's and each costs 100 creds to perform technically a jett dash to bypass trips and choke points.
he wasn't insanely meta because of his flashes and tps, he was neta cause he could literally throw insanely op smokes that NO other controller could throw. That was the reason why he was being picked over other controllers, nerfing his tp and flash wouldn't have mitigated the issue.
Thats exactly why the change is bad, he already said most smokes are still there. It was just a good fun skill ceiling, now skill is gone. And like he said duration is way better of a nerf than what they made
It just brings him more in line with the rest of the controllers now. No exclusive weird one ways for him, everyone (at least the ones with circle smokes) can throw the same one ways. Big w
@@troua2001 The people that play Omen are good, the agent itself has a very steep learning curve and his abilities are non-offensive for the most part.
every one way that the other controllers can throw, omen can throw. he just can’t do the “omen one ways” anymore, the ones that only he could do.
yeah if we ignore viper orb lineups sure
@@localonionseller8556 Who tf playes viper anymore?
@@localonionseller8556 true but she can't smoke 2 locations at the same time now, especially when her wall is pre-placed somewhere already
for ranked this just makes the game way more fun
@@Ethepiawhile I agree with the nerf, it is a dick move from riot to NOT prioritize neon nerf
@@namaewariku it's fine, we are getting a nerf in two weeks, I just hope it's a good nerf

@@kurenaiiii4250 that is so wrong like what
@localonionseller8556 idk man do you work at riot? What makes you think you know better?
He can still choose the height at which his smokes go to, unlike other agent's, just now he isn't able to keep them at said height
@@kurenaiiii4250 he is meta because of his broken flash
this is the shittest nerf I'd take a 12 sec omen smoke over this. This nerf is noob friendly and punishes creative player with higher skill set
I think just took skill expression away from us omen mains ik it's needed but it still hurts

Neon Nerf and deadlock harbor buff needed
all of which are planned. deadlock and harbor buff will be later, neon nerf is next patch.
one ways never were fair good its changed
Nerfing Omen but leaving Neon is peak Riot Games Anti-Social behavior.
Neon nerf is coming in the next patch 9.11
@@AloneVal I know, but was the OMEN nerf really necessary?
@@1carusGG I don't know, they just do what they feel like doing.
Seeing as he is the best main controller, I think so @@1carusGG
