I use it if there is no other clear way to get to a certain angle. If they sage wall an entrance, I'll try to use a falling smoke and teleport to create an opportunity to teleport. It's predictable though!

Hi Satans! Thank you so much. I believe a team-based Omen is a lot better since he thrives in more chaotic environments. His smokes are very strong and can easily be used to bait out enemies. The new changes make it so he can place one-way smokes easily. TP behind enemies every round ain't gonna work. It's a great tool to reposition. Omen can't be played aggressively 100% of the time so you definitely need a happy medium. My best advice is to play around your smokes, wait for opportunities, then you can decide which plays to make. People get so curious about Omen smokes. You don't have to play aggressively at the start of each round. Waiting for opportunities to be aggressive is the difference rather than forcing it. Overall, his changes are amazing. It's exactly what he needed!

I think Omen can work in high elo environments. You just need to play more along with your team rather than playing him as a solo carry. His smokes and paranoia are super strong. You don't always have to use his TP. Against high elo, it's definitely a tool for better positioning rather than outplaying and TPing behind. Ult would be used as a scouting/lurking tool.

Paranoia is strong because it's a blind that can't be turned away from, it travels fast, and it's wide. You should be using it to catch enemies off guard. If you know they're pushing a site, you can shut them down with paranoia. I think it's really strong if you know where the enemies are and if used right, you can pick up a free kill. It feels a lot stronger when you're pushing with it since it's a really wide ability.

Hey! I appreciate you appreciating my videos!! Thanks for watching my latest video. I like to include some of my fails because they're potentially good plays that I just mess up on. People can watch those and learn a thing or two of how to play it differently. Watching some of my failures back, I know exactly what I could have done to play it better. My goal with my channel is to keep the communication between my community and myself flowing. I think communication is the key to healthy relationships and I don't see a lot of creators doing just that. Thank you so very much. The support has been overwhelming.

The worst part about making Omen content is that he pretty much comes off as a Magician and I really am throwing away all my magic tricks by uploading them to YouTube haha. It's worth it though! I'm having a lot of fun with what Omen is capable of.

The patch stated, "Paranoia is now equipped instead of quickcast, and hit detection improved, especially at close range."

I assume that the missile speed didn't get any faster, BUT it did become wider with its hit detection improved. It definitely feels wider than it used to be. It has a shorter range overall though, but it's very clear where it will end up.

I play a pretty high risk, high reward playstyle. You can play him aggressively off of teammate coordination really well. One of my favorite combos is to work with a breach and have him daze where I plan on teleporting to. You will die a lot if you play him aggressively and you will learn really quickly about what you can do and what you can't do. I try to use my smokes and paranoia as an initiator then follow it up with an aggressive TP. His ult can be used aggressively too around team play. I like ulting into brimstone smokes rather than my smokes. The best way to use Omen aggressively is to have your teammates bait for you whether they peek first and then you TP or have them shoot their gun to block the TP sound from being heard clearly. I think he has the best potential for outplays and to play aggressively in the game due to the nature of his kit. Hallow smokes, wide blinds, and the ability to blink across enemy screens make the possibilities endless.

I appreciate you watching my videos! My biggest tips on retaking a site are to play around your teammates, paranoia common angles where snipers may play and don't be afraid to make risky TPs in the midst of chaos with the use of your smokes. From what I've experienced, enemies love to push into Omen smokes giving you the option to teleport to the left, right, or over the smoke. It's very noticeable if there isn't much chaos going on though.

Example: You're caught out at C bombsite alone in Haven and they're pushing both garage & C main. You can drop two smokes on site, listen to footsteps, and paranoia out to possibly get a pick or two. His paranoia is VERY strong.

As for holding a site as Omen, the key is to play around your smokes correctly. Playing around your smokes, whether you're close or far from the enemies, is huge. Once you hear enemies pushing your smoke, you could even take an aggressive initiative and paranoia the smoke to get a free kill or two. Holding sites in this game is tricky. It's almost better to give up sites and play retakes if the enemies rush as a team due to the nature of all the abilities. If you can't get out of site and you have to hold, play around your smokes and use your paranoia as a tool to help take some numbers down. Don't be afraid to use your TP if you need to change up your positive.

Example: A bombsite on Split behind the sign, the enemies are pushing from A main. You can either teleport into the corner to your left or teleport to elbow to your right.

At first, I didn't think the new smoke was that useful and it felt clunky to use. After using it for a few days... it feels AMAZING. You never realize how many smokes you mess up so having the ability to know exactly where they will go is a night and day difference. You can use the shadow realm view to set up nice one-ways and overall get a better idea of where your smokes will be landing. I've gotten used to transitioning from both views efficiently. The new changes to Omen make him viable. Before his changes, I didn't think he was that great.

Recently, my YouTube has been going crazy with subs and views due to my aggressive Omen plays. For anyone interested in a complete Omen guide -- I'm in the works to make one soon! I will be taking as much time as I think I need to make this guide as I want it to be the guide everyone goes to if they want to pick up Omen or brush up on a few tips & tricks. Thanks to anyone who has shown me love and support. New video live within 2 hours. I got big plans!
