I think these nerfs are fair enough and good for what Omen is supposed to be even tho they hurt my heart. I was thinking why would the smoke's deployment speed decrease by 30%. It seems Omen will have a very hard time making use of one ways on certain parts of maps but also smoking himself out of certain situations. When I was being surrounded in 1v3s or more especially in open areas, his smokes proved very reliable even if they were a bit slow, and they helped isolate the fights, but I am not sure if it will work just as good now unless I get to try. His anchoring would also become less effective agaist rushes and in slow pushes require proper timing ensuring sentinels are more effective and now that his economy is more controller like. Omen may become more team orientated and less flexible than before. It will only hurt his aggressive playstyle a bit, but it isn't that effective to begin with. I have a feeling this will make him more controller like, and a bit weaker in soloq, but from watching pros, his full potential in a team comp is way OP, as he fullfills the role of 3 classes decently on his own. I will have to accept this.
