Attack Side Breakdown

The attack-side performance gap between Omen and Deadlock is dramatic: 72.2% versus 56.4%, a commanding 15.8 percentage point advantage. Omen dominates offensive scenarios in this matchup to a degree that requires Deadlock to fundamentally change their approach to attack-side play.

Our analysis of 4 competitive matches reveals Omen has overwhelming attack-side superiority in every measurable category. Site executions, entry success, post-plant conversion, and mid-round adaptability all massively favor Omen. This isn't a gap that Deadlock can overcome through practice or "playing better" — it's a structural matchup disadvantage. Deadlock teams must build their entire attack strategy around protecting Deadlock from direct Omen engagement: give Deadlock lurk roles, put them in trade positions rather than entry, and design executes where Deadlock's weaknesses are covered by teammate utility.

Under no circumstances should Deadlock take entry duels against Omen. The 15.8% attack gap makes entry fragging against Omen one of the lowest-percentage plays in Valorant. Deadlock must exclusively play support roles on attack: flash for teammates, smoke for executes, trade after entries, or create map pressure through lurks that don't involve Omen confrontation. Omen should actively hunt Deadlock entries, knowing the statistical advantage is overwhelming.

Deadlock's post-plant conversion rate against Omen is catastrophic. The data shows Deadlock fails to hold spike plants at a dramatically higher rate than Omen. Never leave Deadlock alone post-plant — they need constant teammate support, crossfire setups, and utility coordination to have any chance of winning these scenarios. Consider not planting at all if Deadlock is the only survivor. Omen should play extremely confidently in post-plants, knowing Deadlock struggles to convert even favorable positions.

Defense Side Breakdown

The defensive disparity between Omen and Deadlock is substantial: 43.6% versus 27.8%, a 15.8 point chasm. Omen absolutely dominates CT side in this matchup — their site holds are significantly harder to break, their retake contributions more impactful, and their defensive utility more effective at every level.

Deadlock cannot be trusted with traditional site anchor responsibilities against Omen. The 15.8% defensive gap is too large to overcome through positioning or individual skill. Teams must protect Deadlock: pair them with multiple teammates, give them off-site lurk positions, or have them rotate immediately when Omen's presence is identified on their site. Omen should aggressively anchor the most difficult sites on any map, knowing their defensive capability is overwhelming.

Deadlock should avoid retake scenarios against Omen entirely when possible. The data from 4 matches shows Deadlock's retake conversion rate against Omen is dramatically lower than average. If Deadlock must retake, require 3+ player numbers advantage and full utility coordination. Omen should play post-plant positions knowing Deadlock lacks the capability to effectively contest them. In clutch scenarios, Omen wins at overwhelming rates.

Economy decisions for Deadlock must account for their defensive inadequacy. Force buying against Omen is essentially throwing away credits — the defensive gap makes partial buys nearly unwinnable. Deadlock should always advocate for full saves, building toward rounds where team utility can compensate for their individual defensive weakness. Omen can confidently force and half-buy, knowing their defensive advantages persist across all economy states.

Overall Side Analysis

Omen demonstrates commanding superiority on both attack (72.2%) and defense (43.6%), comprehensively outperforming Deadlock across all phases of the game. Based on our analysis of 4 competitive matches, this is one of the more one-sided agent matchups in Valorant, with Omen holding advantages at every stage.

Map selection and team composition cannot fix Deadlock's disadvantage in this matchup. Omen outperforms across all map types and team structures. If you're playing Deadlock into Omen, your team composition needs to compensate heavily: strong fragging agents to carry Deadlock's weight, utility-heavy supports to cover their positioning, and coordination to avoid leaving Deadlock in isolated Omen encounters.

For ranked climbing, avoid playing Deadlock when you expect to face Omen frequently. The 31.6 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement. If Omen is meta in your rank bracket, strongly consider adding them to your agent pool or playing agents that have more neutral matchups.

Final verdict: Omen decisively wins the Omen vs Deadlock matchup. This isn't a skill check or a "play better" situation — Omen has systematic advantages that manifest across thousands of games. Deadlock players facing Omen should adjust expectations, play more supportively, and recognize that direct confrontations are statistically unfavorable at every stage of the game.

Controller vs Sentinel Dynamics

The Controller (Omen) vs Sentinel (Deadlock) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Omen's Controller abilities serve different purposes than Deadlock's Sentinel kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.

Understanding how Controller abilities interact with Sentinel counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Omen's Controller toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Deadlock's Sentinel kit counters others. The Omen advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
