Omen is one of the more popular Controllers in VALORANT<\/em>, mainly due to his simple ability kit. His smokes are easy to place down and will refresh over time, his blind is easy to aim, and his teleport can get him out of sticky situations. However, there seems to be one thing holding him back\u2014his ultimate, From the Shadows.<\/p>
While the ult can be used to sneak up on the enemy, scout out an area, or pick up the spike, From the Shadows doesn\u2019t have as big of an impact as other ults.<\/p>
In fact, many VALORANT <\/em>players have been asking for some sort of buff or rework to make it a little more viable in a May 21 Reddit thread<\/a>.<\/p>
Players suggested<\/a> five or six ult points would be more appropriate for Omen. Dropping at least one ult point would put his ultimate at six just like Reyna, Phoenix, and Cypher.<\/p>
Other creative ideas focused on protecting Omen immediately after he teleports with his ult. Players mentioned adding the paranoia effect from Spike Rush<\/a> to distract the enemy or adding a smaller non-toxic version of Viper\u2019s pit<\/a> Omen can hide in. Either of those ideas would help Omen stay alive after teleporting so he wouldn\u2019t have to cancel it.<\/p>
The ultimate could also be improved a little if VALORANT <\/em>players had the option<\/a> to set their teleport location ahead of time, fans suggested. \u201cLet the player pre-set where they want to TP which in turn allows you to instantly TP by just pressing ult key again. That takes out a lot of unnecessary delay in his ult.\u201d This would enable Omen to get to where he needs to be faster or to teleport out of an area right before disaster strikes.<\/p>
Along with these more logical ideas, players also collaborated in creating a long list<\/a> of absurd ways to make Omen\u2019s ult broken. The list included: a helmet to make you \u201cunheadshotable,\u201d one free revive if you die, and the ability to summon five Brimstone ults.<\/p>
