find that part and remeber the ip address then do ping 192.168.1.1 -n 100 and replace 192.168.1.1 with the ip you found here ^ then when its done running there will be a summary, take a screenshot of it and send it in here should look sum like this

i haven't played valo today lemme see if it got fixed i also submitted a ticket in the riot help section and they told me to use ping plotter for 2 ip addresses (i used TMR since i had it installed a while back and here are the results - if that helps too) 2 minutes of run time each i believe both are riot server ids

If this is the case, it’s most likely an issue with your connection to your internet, or your internet’s connection to the web, rather than strictly a valorant connection issue. Yes, that’s normal, it’s that the -n 100 argument was.

thats not the problem the problem is that your connection to your router is unstable
Solution

dang yo that worked @lyra im at a stable 47 the ping is definitely increasin when i move away from the routet(the tall thingy on my praent's desk) wait wait wait give me 5 minutes if what i think is the reason i will crash out ong nope it isnt its distance i thought bcuz a few days ago started using usb c instead of usb 3 but nah that isnt it if definitely is distance frm the router affecting the ping
