[2023] [RyanCentral] Twitter: Omen got nerfed btw! You can't one-way with his smoke anymore! They will now fall to the height of nearby ground. Devs said 'One-way smokes are a part of VALORANT, but they are difficult to play against and we want to keep them limited to intentional and understandable areas' | Valorant Dev Tracker

What the hell? What a contradictory statement. In the same breath saying they are part of the game but too hard to play against so they are being removed?

As an Omen main, someone make it make sense.

EDIT: it seems they are only removing “red arrow” smokes that go inside walls. That makes a lot more sense, and fortunately the majority of his one ways smokes are “green arrow” and hang off a ledge. So if those are still around then that’s fine.

Rest assured we're aware that this is an Omen nerf and we're in the early stages of exploring if there are any buff opportunities to compensate for this (but I can't make any promises - we want to see what the impact of this change is). We felt that the "inside walls red arrow" one-way smokes were unintuitive and unintended, and that we'd rather tune Omen around more accessible and intentional gameplay going forward.
