if i drop to 30fps my laptop then only after that it gets better and i start see those changes/improvements on my another pc which runs at normal fps 250+...
Not saying the following is the only factor, but server "tick" rate can always be a contributing one...

Valorant has an above average server tick rate of 128 ticks per second (CS:GO only has 64, for instance), but that means even if your local framerate is 250+ FPS, while you're seeing 250+ full local updates per second (assuming your refresh rate is above your framerate), Valorant is still only updating 128 times per second server-side.

Ignoring the particular uniqueness of your test (which, according to your reports, has somewhat confounding effects at first glance), if you lower your framerate to, say, 30, you're local updates are now never exceeding the server updates, which may have an impact of the appearance of issues such as hitreg and desync locally.

This is because, to my knowledge, if the local game framerate is significantly above the server tick rate (especially in numbers odd to the tick rate), depending on the game, interpolation may take place and try to "fill" in those extra frames.

Have you tried playing at 128 FPS or an exact -/+ multiple of it on your primary PC without your "fix?" Curious whether it improves anything for you in a similar way.

All the problems in val seem to come from servers and it has probably something to do with lag compensation.

I play in high immortal and low radiant lobbies and its very real, everyone says the same aswell.

Also another thing i notice is it seems that the game runs better with capped fps compared to uncap.

I also play on low Immortal Elo can 100% something is wrong with this game.

The ability to land your shots is literally a coin flip and RNG.

Of course someone has a bad DAY and plays bad… but this game is like, you hit nothing even tho you clearly on the enemy. You get killed before you even see the enemy. In one match.

And THE next match RIGHT after, in the same mental state, same posture, same elo, same settings, same everything. And all of a sudden you playing like demon. It even feels like this game hits the shots FOR YOU. Its insane.

And you never know when the RNG works for you. Sometimes it takes 2 games, sometimes 3. Sometimes none.

Its hard to show „proof“ but I have multiple clips in which I play DMs and giving people „headshots“ and Iam not even on their head and they die to headshot even tho my crosshair is very noticable on right or left side of the head.

Idk man.

I just wanted to ask:

What is the preferred settings for Valorant here?

Iam playing NULL OFF, REFlex On+Boost, G-sync and Vsync off Fps capped at 360 on a 360hz monitor.

how do you think then others better players handle this situation which you describe or they dont have it or they are just robots and they can adapt to everything what is wrong with this game ?
if you guys has some issue with some game or what ever just simple found a guy who is much better then you or he is high profile player and go play from his place
and then you will understand from where your all problems coming from

Iam not even saying this problems are "holding you back" or something. Of course you need the skills to rank up and win games.

I know what I know what I am talking about, I climbed from Gold3 to Immortal. The problem was there on Gold and the problem is still there on Immortal. It is what it is. You have to learn to adapt and try to be consistent. You even have to win EVEN this problems occur.

The OP is almost on the highest rank possible (Radiant). Do you think he has a reason to make excuses? Even pro players complain about that. And some of the problems are PROVEN.

Like the "high ping advantage", you can watch it here:
