Why has Valorant Cypher been removed from the Valorant Competitive queue?

Valorant developers are continually in touch with the community, asking for problems, clips, feedback, and other information. Which, to be honest, elevates the valorous community above the majority of games. If you ever want to share something, you can do so on Reddit or on Twitter by tagging any programmers.
There are currently a lot of bugs within this patch, I don't tweet bugs to make sure no one abuses them, but the Val team is working on them already. Ty to everyone who has sent me them in dms tho 🙂

And it appears that players continue to discover a plethora of exploits involving agents. Riot, on the other hand, is working nonstop to come up with a solution as soon as possible. They do, however, disable the agent.

The competitive queue has been disabled for Valorant Cypher
Yoru was the first Valorant agent to be removed from the competitive queue, followed by Astra, and now Cypher has gained prestige.
Cypher is a sentinel who acts as a one-man surveillance network, monitoring the enemy’s every move. And it appears that the developers have identified a new vulnerability for him on Bind.
What is the nature of the exploit/bug?
On Bind if you put a trip on B main 'door', when an enemy passes on the game would crash, & every player would return to the main menu as if game never happened.

The developers did not make the flaw public, however someone on Twitter knows exactly what the exploit/defect was.
And it appears that if an opposing player walks across a Cypher tripwire on Bind, the game recreates the match. The developers are working on a remedy, and based on their past performance, we should be able to play him in an hour or two.
