Omen is a controller agent in Valorant, the tactical shooter Riot Games released in 2020. His Shrouded Step ability lets him teleport a short distance after a brief wind-up, while his ultimate From the Shadows lets him reposition across the map. Clips of the teleport cue spread through gameplay videos, montages and soundboards because players instantly associate the whoosh with a flank or escape. It remains popular in edits beyond Valorant, where the sound alone signals stealth movement, a sudden reposition or an opponent appearing where they should not be.
