Omen's appearance was what prevented his release in the first place.

Despite looking like a monster he wasn't supposed to be a tanky or tanky dps. People had a hard time understanding his role due to his appearance. In addition, unlike many of the other monster champs, he tended to look a jungle creep than a player character.

While some of these criticisms could be applied to older monster champs like Kogmaw or Chogath, Riot wants to make their champ appearances a little more connected to to gameplay to help inform new players what they can expect from a champion.
