Valorant Patch 8.11 brought so many changes to the table that it might be difficult to keep up. Especially considering the fact that fans have already found a few hiccups here and there. The new update definitely disrupted the balance in Valorant, with some Agents like Iso, who is now so powerful that it's very difficult to compete against him, no matter how experienced you are.
Many Valorant fans suspected that Patch 8.11 would change the game as we know it and they were completely right. Moreover, apart from the buffs that were added to the Agents, there are some changes that allow players to survive insane situations, especially in the Abyss map. Let's take a look at Omen and his killer trick on the new map!

Valorant Patch 8.11 Omen Trick & Abyss
Omen is generally the best Agent to play on the Abyss map. Fans recently discovered a bug that allows him to teleport outside of the barrier at the start of each game. Abyss is the trickiest map in Valorant because it has no walls and players can easily fall off the edge. However, now that the new glitch has come to light, Omen has the potential to be unstoppable on the new map.
If you calculate the timing well and use Omen's C ability, you can activate the new trick to save your Agent and catch your enemies by surprise. On the outside edge of B site on Abyss, Omen can find a teleport spot above him and get to the other side of the barrier extremely fast. Once he's in the air, he can fall off the side and throw his second teleport to reach the landing spot. However, you need to be careful because one mistake could put you in an unfavorable position.

Valorant Patch 8.11 Omen Trick Reviews
Attempting the new Omen trick does not guarantee successful execution. Many Valorant players already attempted the trick multiple times and the feedback is definitely mixed. Some players claimed that they were able to execute it without errors, while others attempted multiple times and failed. However, there is currently a lot of criticism thrown at Riot Games because of the glitch.
Riot Games seriously needs to have REAL players test this game, they are the only ones who could find these errors, so they could fix them before releasing. This is proof that there is zero testing smh.

Many people also complained about the fact that there are no good maps in Valorant and everything that has been released recently is either broken or puts people at extreme disadvantage during gameplay. Riot Games has not responded to any of the comments yet but we are expecting an announcement about the actions that will be taken when it comes to this matter.

Valorant Patch 9.0
It's important to note that even though there have been many complaints about the new Valorant Patch 8.11 update, Riot Games has not responded to each one of them. What we have for now is a promise that Neon's buffs will be nerfed and Reyna's broken buff will be reworked. However, we still don't have information about when exactly these changes will come into play.
We remain hopeful that the new Episode 9 Act 1 will not only bring some additional improvements but will also fix everything that fans are not happy with in the current meta. Riot Games has always aimed to create a balanced gameplay experience for all players and we are looking forward to their next attempt to achieve it.
