I love valorant it is easily one of my most favorite games, except it can be annoying having high speed internet but 100+ ping 24/7. This is more of me just complaining but I feel it needs to be acknowledged. I live in Fairbanks Alaska, aka very far from any dedicated servers making my gameplay tacky and delayed. I strive for improvement except at times my ping just limits me. And I know it does to many people too. Some people may say; “I play on high ping all the time and do great”. And to that I say good for you but for me it does nothing but get in the way. I’ve never lived in such a “unique” place/ I’ve never had to deal with high ping. But here I am pretty much just complaining here. Idk I just think it would be great to have more servers in some of the more “different” states in the USA. cough Alaska😅

You should be able to hit NorCal with a decent ping - at the very least in the practice range. Please post a traceroute to 192.207.0.1 and let me know which ISP you're using and what ping you're getting.

This is the traceroute to the IP provided, my ISP is CGI. I average about 120 ping and never below 100.

I've reached out to GCI to see what they can do with us to improve it.
