Simple answer? Ethernet cable. Ditch the WiFi for a direct connection to your router. It's like the express lane for your Valorant game.

Ping spikes in Valorant can be super annoying, but there are a few tricks to smooth things out! First, make sure you're using a wired connection if possible. WiFi is convenient but can be unstable. Next, close any bandwidth-hungry apps or downloads that might be running in the background. Finally, check if your router needs a reboot - sometimes it's just about giving your hardware a little rest.

Had this issue last week! Fixed it by setting my game to high priority in Task Manager. It basically tells your PC to focus on running Valorant smoother. Worked like a charm!

Make sure your drivers are up to date, especially your graphics card and network adapter drivers. Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of performance issues, including ping spikes.

You guys are missing the obvious - sometimes it's just your ISP being iffy. If everything else fails, might be worth giving them a call or looking for better plans/providers.
