Reyna has been disabled in VALORANT, with the Agent removed due a bug caused by a recent patch, according to Riot Games.

Reyna is everyone's favorite Agent, right? Right? Okay, maybe not, but that doesn't mean she gets treated any differently than the rest of the bunch. Riot Games still does everything they can to ensure she's up to standards. Which is why Reyna has been disabled in VALORANT for the time being, with a bug being the cause of her removal.

Let's go over the details.

Why did get Reyna get disabled in VALORANT?

The most recent VALORANT patch was 10.05. This introduced Rank Rollbacks and fixed several bugs for various Agents. None of those were Reyna, though. So, it seems something added just happened to mess up her healing abilities.

Per Riot Games, a bug arrived with the 10.05 update. It prevents "Reyna from properly using Overheal from her Devour ability." This means her healing capabilities are not appropriately raising her health when used.

That's caused her removal from the game's queues. It's all queues, too, not just competitive. They made no mention of her staying for Unrated, Swiftplay, Spike Rush, or any other mode. The VCT, however, will keep her intact for now as they believe it unfair to remove her with such little time between removal and Stage 1 play.

When will Reyna be back in VALORANT?

Your guess is as good as ours. We have no idea when they'll revert Reyna being disabled in VALORANT. They did not give a time frame, but simply stated they'll update us all when it is fixed.

It seems like they're working on it quickly, though. And since it happened right before the weekend, I'd imagine early the following week would be the first chance at Reyna returning. Keep your fingers crossed if she's your go-to Instalock.
