Ping Issue
My download speed is 305.7 Mbps and my upload is 42.9. My lowest ping in Valo however is 50-60. Outside of my usual server, it goes to 70+ immediately. Anyone have any advice on why this may be happening?

Your download and upload speeds are good, but several factors can affect your in-game ping:
1. Server Location: Ensure you are connected to the closest VALORANT server to your location. Even slight distances can impact ping.
2. Network Stability: High speeds don't guarantee stability. Packet loss, jitter, or intermittent connectivity can cause higher pings. Tools like PingPlotter can help diagnose these issues.
3. Background Applications: Ensure no other applications or devices are consuming bandwidth during gameplay. This includes streaming services, downloads, or other devices connected to your network.
4. Wired vs. Wireless: A wired Ethernet connection is generally more stable than Wi-Fi. If you’re using Wi-Fi, try switching to a wired connection.
5. ISP Routing: Sometimes, the routing path your ISP takes to the game server can affect ping. Contacting your ISP can sometimes help, but they may be limited in their ability to reroute traffic.
6. Firewall/Security Software: Check if your firewall or security software is impacting your game connection.
