Putting this under discussion since its patch notes rather than official news.

In my post a few months ago I highlighted how Omen's current teleport mechanics do not function as intended and frequently teleport you to a different location then targeted.

Combat Omen: How the playstyle was "killed" in the crossfire, and how to bring it back : VALORANT (reddit.com), it is rather long though.

or

Since theoreminegaming made the combat Omen post. Here is proof his tp is completely broken now. : VALORANT (reddit.com), for a video showing the effect

Well, it seems like we are finally getting a fix (assuming it works).

From the PBE (Public Beta Environment) patch notes

"

Improved the system used to place abilities at targeted ground locations. This update should make it easier to find valid placement locations in tight spaces.

"

Based on a quick trial in game (testing the examples from the video above, as well as jumping teleports) seems to confirm that teleports are no longer acting up.

Assuming everything is as it seems, we have finally gotten a victory for Omen!
