I don get the map pool change

Sure a lot of people apparently like fracture for some reason? (I dont relate but its understandable since I am low rank and I can get why ppl like this map since it is very tactical based) But this doesnt make sense to me in the meta, heres why

Riot nerfed omen on his ability to make sneaky one ways, nice I am a controller main and i have no issues for that. His blind still makes him a top tier controller for his ability to reclear space taken by the enemy team, it is super strong to retake.
But now Ascent and sunset are out of the map pool, omen are usually ran on this map even in ranked other than clove, if riot switched in fracture its gonna make omen even lesser picked by comp players since they are just going to pick clove or astra as a replacement of his
And now omen is missing some crucial one ways like the one in A main where u set up ur team for a rush and take rubble/ a main control and the one on tree door.

Maybe im just overthinking but omen is losing his priority among the duelists, especially against clove

Well, Omen still 10x easy than Astrea, and his kit is very agressive, so he still going to be picked at Haven or pearl as the second smoker.

Omen has been 70% pick rate for 2 years I think it'll be fine if he's picked less for a season

Map variety.
Omen dominates the meta, nerfing him = agent variety.

the map pool was going to nerf omen anyways being fair

split - astra is as good as omen imo
fracture - brim clears
lotus - surely omen will still be better, but most teams will play double controller so it wont be an omen single controller map i think
abyss - omen is better as a single controller but some teams play without omen anyway and some others play double controller with omen
bind - brim clear
pearl - i personally like astra better but i can see some teams playing omen single controller anyways
haven i think omen will still dominate but maybe some people prefer astra and viper or some other shit.

the thing is without ascent and sunset which are the maps where omen single controller is the meta the amount of omen we see will be way lower ngl, and if they remove abyss haven or lotus for breeze or icebox in the future it will only be worse for it.

fracture is a good map to watch (for me at least) in pro play so that's probably what you've seen
