The Valorant patch accidentally made Omen so powerful that it had to be removed from the game.

Valorant's latest patch made changes to hit effects, buffing Viper and nerfing Killjoy and Sage. It also had an unintended but very powerful effect on Omen. Players quickly discovered that Omen could be made invincible by a simple glitch.

The behavior of this glitch can be seen below. The game balance is slightly broken.

But that is not all! Another glitch that occurred at the same time allowed Omen to teleport through the spawn barrier that is set up at the start of the round, allowing him to get into an advantageous position before anyone else. Not that positioning is extremely important in a situation where it is literally impossible to kill, but it is still a pretty big deal.

Riot thought they had fixed this problem as well, but .......

After removing Omen from the game completely yesterday, Riot announced this afternoon that they will be back in action with the following schedule, along with a hotfix to remove his surprise psychic ability:

It won't be long. Until then, enjoy this.
