Omen disabled in Valorant
Patch 1.07 brought us two game-breaking exploits with Agent Omen. One allowed Omen to teleport through the spawn barriers before the start of a round on Bind A site.
The second allowed Omen to become invincible if players used his ultimate at the perfect time near the end of a round. But not just for one round, for the entire game!

Riot thought they had it covered, announcing a hotfix to for the exploits. But… well… that was not the case. Consequence? Omen hat been disabled from Valorant until the problems are fixed.
On Twitter, the devs state:
“What we thought was a map bug for Omen teleporting past the spawn barriers... is actually an issue with Omen, so we're disabling him until we have a _real_ fix. Which is hopefully tomorrow.
Sorry for all of the disruptions.”
Let’s just hope the Omen-Fix is coming soon.
