Reyna Returns to Valorant

Reyna’s Popularity & Importance in Valorant

Reyna’s appeal lies in her high-skill, aggressive playstyle, making her a top pick in solo queue. Her Devour ability, paired with Leer and Dismiss, makes her an unstoppable duelist. On top of that, her Mexican heritage and compelling backstory make her one of the most beloved agents in Valorant.

Why She Was Temporarily Removed

Patch 10.05 introduced a major issue with Reyna’s Devour ability, which prevented her from properly receiving overheal. This bug left her vulnerable, even with kills, as shown by pro player T1 Meteor’s viral clip where he died despite having over 150 HP. Riot Games responded swiftly, disabling Reyna across all platforms on March 21st to implement a fix.

Player Reactions: Divided Opinions

Reyna’s removal sparked mixed reactions. Some players, like TenZ, felt that the game was more balanced without her, while many Reyna mains expressed frustration. The temporary removal impacted ranked play, esports tournaments, and the overall player experience.

Reyna’s Return & The Fix

Reyna’s removal was short-lived. Riot Games confirmed her return on March 25th, after fixing the overheal bug. The recent patch resolved the issue, restoring Reyna to her full potential. While some players may prefer a less dominant Reyna, her return adds excitement and a familiar level of chaos back into the game. It remains to be seen if Riot will implement any further balance changes moving forward.
