Harbor surprised everyone when VALORANT entered the competitive scene. The newest agent came with new map changes, user experience updates and new skins. But this month he will have to spend some time on the bench.
Players have noticed an issue with the VALORANT agent: Harbor’s ultimate is causing incredible delay increases. This made his best move the ultimate final move.
Players would not only be repeatedly hit with stuns, but would also lag in the process. This clearly needed to be changed, and Riot developers are everywhere.
The VALORANT developers shared that they will “disable Agent in Competitive queue for now.” The docker network will have to wait to be able to play their favorite agent again.
Harbor’s ultimate ability is to create unintentional delay increases in some cases. We are disabling the Agent in the Competitive queue for now. Get notified of updates.

There is no confirmed return date for the newest agent; The Riot Games developers said fans should be “aware of any updates.”
Fortunately, he’s not a strong character in the meta right now. Unless someone is trying to throw a curved ball at you, they probably won’t in most of your matches.
Nor is this the first agent to be removed from VALORANT matchmaking in recent years. Players using Omen in 2020 have uncovered an issue that would allow it to pass through certain walls. The Riot developers identified this issue and immediately removed it from the game until it was up and running again.
We hope Harbor will be back soon and ready to smash VALORANT again.
