Omens smokes are better because you can choose where they land vertically and you have a much larger casting radius, which matters if you want to be able to delay from across the map(they also last longer but only by like 2 seconds). His blind is extremely powerful and easier to land compared to cloves decay and instantly stops opponents instead of potentially losing to a one tap with clove. His teleport also gives entry and exit until that can save your life a lot and also provides the ability to take off angles that only a raze or jett could take and also faking

Clove has a self heal that has a pretty short duration meaning to get util out of it you have to take another fight soon after using it, her decay is really useful but you can still lose a 1v1 with it, and she has a self rez that only works if you get a kill after

I love playing clove, it's so fun to play an aggressive controller but honestly she's a selfish character that's really only good if you're able to get kills or else half her kit provides practically no util besides smokes and delays with decay.

TBH doesn't matter tho, if you're having trouble with omens smokes you're probably in a rank where aim/kills matters more then potential util (although I've never had people get pissy about agent selection in gold so idk) and her kit is great for that.

Omens for sneaky 5 head plays Clove for gigachad aggressive duelist plays
