@ReceivedYou yeah bc u play omen just like every other smoke, and this statement proves it. Players like you won’t benefit from the high skill ceiling, Omen brought with his unique smoking ability. 🤡🤡
People are forgetting Omen's 2nd big gimmick that Riot very fortunately doesn't touch often (and I hope they never do, because if they do, I think Omen will eventually die as an agent), his TPs. The Omen nerfs aren't that huge. It just makes him more balanced, pushing him into a more aggressive role than a passive role. As a 2 year omen main, I'm totally cool with this even if it's a weird choice for a nerf, IMO. It makes people think more about their strategies when using him. Omen's one-ways and smoke flexibility are strong, yes, but they're not the only things that make him unique. Omen mains still live on!
Naaah omen is still a really good controller. The one way smoke nerf is needed bcause that sht js resulted in free kills with little counters. Smart omen mains can still dominate the match with his tps and blind
omen is a special case cause he smokes slower than all the other controllers and now riot got rid of his only upside which was trading speed for versitality so now he cant one way or smoke more than one at a time
That's crazy how every smoke had some unique thing to it (3 for brim, decay for viper, shield for harbor, after death for clove, star weird shi for astra and one-ways for omen) and now omen has just a pretty basic smoke that can one way only very specific places as a signature ability
Imo it's good cause the idea of smokes is to deny line of sight for both sides. omen smokes created unfair advantages. Obviously omen mains will defend this but it just makes the competition and gunfights more interesting now that you cannot just see legs and shoot. W Riot although they should nerf neon first

They shouldn't even nerf omen because his kit is very well balanced like not all abilities are super op like you have op blind and smoke but a very generalized normal ult that makes you to farther

i mean it makes sense? all these smokes are either smoking in the wall or places where your not supposed to be at this is more like a riot fixing this and "nerfing" omen
Hear me out lets talk about all the controllers in valorant: brim his smokes are the most lasting smokes in the game , astra a smoker that can smoke all around the make from any where , clove can smoke after death ,omen signature was that he can one way now he just like any smoker like what advantage he has as a smoker that what is makin me mad
He can place smokes precisely on multi floor areas, he can create smokes in the air - he's still great even without one-ways, and if you can only crutch on one-ways you're not using him to his fullest
Omen is the only one with a blind and a pretty broken tp which makes him capable of playing like a duelist sometimes which I think none of the other controllers can.
@@Telbrrr omen’s blind is one of the best pieces of util in the game. you can make the argument his smokes aren’t unique anymore but he still has rechargeable smokes that last pretty long and his util makes site taking way easier

They already butchered Cypher for me, but if they nerf Neon into the ground, imma be HOT. Here's hoping they don't just live off the name of the game and the skins😮💨 I'm sick and tired of game devs committing to that disgusting strat.
its.... they took omens unique ability to throw smokes where other cant, now he is just like other smokers but worse bcs of he can smoke only one at the time...
Basically, now omen can only smoke where the others can, making him a worse option for throwing smokes since they are not global and they are not instant Still gonna be my n1 agent tho
As a 2 year omen main i am so sad, i hate playing any other controller because i like playing aggresjve and i just dont like playing clove so bye bye co trollers for me if omen dies
Why do people freak out when one of the consistently highest-picked agents across VCT and ranked gets nerfed? Take a moment to actually think about how much this affects omen’s playstyle and power level.
only VCT, thats the funny part they nerf solely based on VCT, and its super frustrating cause the game is lowkey not fun to play anymore with neon being this strong

He still got practically global range smokes. It was right to nerf his smokes
