And when an enemy player's vision is obstructed, no controller excels at lurking in the shadows quite like Omen. Omen's abilities are quite unique because he provides a good amount of zone control while also making use of his mobility tools and disrupting the enemy team's vision. It's easy to get caught up in all the teleporting, however. You have to learn to stay in the shadows and strike when and where your enemies least expect it. Here's a comprehensive look at playing Omen. All of Omen's abilities Paranoia: Fire a blinding orb in a straight line, near-sighting anyone it touches. Near-sight reduces the enemy's vision range and deafens them. Can pass through walls.Shadow Walk: Teleport to a marked location within range after a brief channel.Signature Ability - Dark Cover: Cast out an ethereal orb that bursts into an sphere of dark, smoky shadow at its final location. Can be charged to increase distance.Ultimate Ability
