Team-based shooters like Valorant frequently include brand-new heroes, but theyre not typically in the company of eradicating them. Sadly, after a recent upgrade, Valorants shadow-dwelling Reaper riff, Omen, transcended the video games figurative and actual borders, which required Riot to give him the (momentary) boot.
This week, a Valorant patch not intended to make Omen briefly invincible and able to teleport through barriers did precisely that. The former issue caused some incredibly funny (however undoubtedly game-breaking) scenes that included method too much blood, and Riot acted upon it in relatively brief order. However, the teleportation problem continued.
In brief, Omen could get through the barriers that generally avoid groups from moving through the map prior to rounds. In a tweet the other day, Riot stated success over the issue with a hotfix, just to recognize that night that it had misjudged what it was up versus.
” What we thought was a map bug for Omen teleporting past the generate barriers … is really a problem with Omen, so were disabling him up until we have a genuine repair,” Riot stated on Twitter last night. “Sorry for all of the disturbances.”
Currently, Omen is still handicapped. Riot announced this afternoon that, if all goes according to plan, hell be back in the wee hours of tomorrow morning– particularly, at 2 a.m. eastern time. Then whatever will be right as rain. Or, a couple hours later, Riot will post a foreboding tweet that checks out “Oh no, that simply made him madder,” after which Riot will never ever be spoken with again.

The former issue led to some very amusing (but certainly game-breaking) scenes that included method too much blood, and Riot acted on it in relatively short order. In a tweet the other day, Riot stated success over the problem with a hotfix, just to understand that evening that it had actually misjudged what it was up against.
