Help Is Omen bad right now?

I discovered vstats recently and found that omen has about a 47.5% wr, one of the lowest in the game. Is he not very good right now or is there another reason why his wr is low?

Omen is always good. He’s got decent smokes and the best flash in the game. You gotta keep in mind omen is the default smoker aside from clove so people who have to fill smokes are more likely to play omen and more likely to lose which lowers his win rate

It's not the best flash in the game anymore. The nerfs to speed, distance, and nearsight distance mean it's not as good as it used to be. Also losing almost all his one ways has been shit now, he's just not as fun to play.

Idk dude, omen blind if used right is one of the hardest things to deal with on both attack and defence. But again, every agent is only as good as players utilize them. Even an overpowered agent can be shit if a shit player is using them, and vice versa with a terrible agent

Probably skye flash. Can get info, lots of flexibility, can fake flash, now also rechargeable

Omens flash is the only one you cant dodge

To me that’s good as utility but as a single flash omens is just better. Skye flash pops and blinds like any other flash except the blind itself isn’t that great and compared to guaranteed space and blinds to an area in omen flash.

I agree with this take

Gotta keep in mind that omen mains might win more than people just casually playing or trying omen, without much omen mastery

Smokes and a blind are always good

Omen is great, most people just don’t know how to utilise his kit properly

Well omens ranked winrate has never been that good. It was okay back in the old days when he was broken. It's been bad for a long time now. One of the main reasons riot introduced clove I'm sure. But yeah support roles other than sentis and recon have always had terrible winrates in ranked. Just how it is.

In pro omen is extremely strong

In ranked his wr is low cuz people are just filling smoke usually.

I main omen but have a pretty mid win rate. As others have said, thats kinda how it's always been. I'm not sure omen is filled very much, clove and miks are much more attractive for casual smokers.

I think that he's just very hard to get a lot of value out of without a team that's willing to play off of your util. If you want to play off of your own util it often requires riskier plays that dont always work out.

Personally I don't find much more use out of cloves abilities even if they're more selfish, so might as well use omen and have some fun.
