should i quit playing valorant?

I'm sorry to hear about your frustration with the ping spikes in VALORANT. Here are some steps you can take to potentially resolve the issue:

  1. **Network Optimization:** Ensure that your network is optimized by closing unnecessary applications or devices that might be consuming bandwidth.
  2. Firewall Settings: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall. You can check how to do this here: Your Firewall VS. VALORANT.
  3. DNS Server Change: Try changing your DNS server to something more reliable, like Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). You can find guides online on how to do this.
  4. **Network Reset:**
    • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
    • Type the following commands one by one and press Enter after each:
      netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
    • Restart your computer.
  5. **Riot Support:** If these steps don't help, consider opening a support ticket with Riot here: [Riot Games Support](https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us).
Hopefully, one of these solutions helps you get back to your game without lag.
