Ping in Valorant
Ping is the round trip from you to the server and back. Valorant judges every action server-side: your shot, your ability, your flash all have to arrive before the fight resolves. Low ping means your swing reaches the server close to when you saw the enemy — high ping hands the other player the same advantage against you. As general guidance, under 40 ms feels responsive and under 20 ms is ideal; these figures are guidance, not measurements of Riot’s servers.
