The agent concept behind Omen is to disorientate and confuse enemies. Yet enemies can abuse his smokes because they’re easy to hide inside. The smokes are clear inside and larger than Astra’s smokes. Therefore, opponents easily keep their bearings and can pick opportune fights by using the smoke’s bulge as cover. Consider how an Omen smoke in Ascent’s A-site rafters actually gives the defenders cover and choice timing to swing out for a kill.
A good change would be that sitting inside an enemy Omen smoke builds a “Deafened” debuff. The muffled sound could be an excellent agent buff without audio deadening as oppressive as Astra’s cosmic divide. It could be an effect that grows as you sit within enemy smokes so simply pushing the smoke doesn’t deafen that much.
To be a competent controller Omen should be the owner of his own smokes. Currently, there is no punishment for using his smokes against him. Make Omen’s opponents more fearful on a deafened battlefield.
