Check for background apps that might be eating up your bandwidth or processing power. I had Discord running once during a game and didn't realize it was hogging my CPU. Closed it and boom, lag gone!
Sometimes, the problem's on their end. Check Valorant's social media and forums to see if other players are experiencing the same issues. If it's a widespread problem, Riot Games will likely roll out a fix soon.
After a Valorant update, if you're experiencing lag, start by checking your internet connection. Sometimes, it's as simple as resetting your router.

If all else fails, reinstalling Valorant can sometimes work miracles!
