Omen is a very creative and unique champ that should be released. Here is the stats i made up that u could use and/or base his kit off of.

Passive:Lost Limb If Omen takes 100 or more damage, there will be a 55% chance of a spike droping close by,it can be picked up and 20% of health will be gained back.

Q:Bite Active- Omen bites select target enemy,slowing them, for 35 attack damage (+). Bite does extra damage for % health missing. Passive- If select enemy had been hit by Omen's Spike Barrage inthe last 5 seconds then Omen will gain 10% health back.

W:Spike Defence Omen delays for 1.5 seconds,puffing up, then shoots out big spikes in every direction, slowing all enemies hit, for 54 attack damage.

E:Spike Barrage Omen stands still and shoots his spikes in any direction for 5 seconds, damaging any enemy for 24 (+) attack damage for each spike.

R:Final Blow Passive- Omen gets 45 increased movement speed for each enemy champ he is able to kill with his ultimate (when ultimate is up). Active- Omen can only use ultimate on enemy champs that he can kill with it. Omen jumps on target enemy stabbing 2 spikes into enemy then bites their head.

P.S. Omen can be a melee tank champ that can play top, adc, and jungle. Omen auto attacks by slashing with his claws.

Here's my default link to Omen threads.

It's a speech given at the Game Developer's Conference by Tom Cadwell, aka Zileas. He's the VP of Game Design at Riot. He goes over a lot of errors and lessons Riot has experienced and learned over the years, and mentions Omen specifically.

In short, Omen was a mess. People couldn't figure out what to do with him (he looks like a ranged / melee / caster / auto-attacker -- all of those would be reasonable given his design), he didn't have much in the way of unique character, and no one was truly excited about him.

If we DID bring Omen back, the version that got released would probably not resemble the scrapped design in any way.
