High pings in India

I hope I don’t sound ridiculous while making this post.

Me and my online friends (who are from different parts of our country) suffer from heavy ping which destroys the experience. On an average, we have 130+ ping. But most of the time it gets even worse.
Thinking of playing after 8 PM is almost a ridiculous decision as then the ping goes even higher (140+)

Valorant is an amazing F2P game. And a lot of Indians are into F2P games. But this issue ruins the appeal of the game.

North Indians would get above 100 and South Indians getting below 50 with the current server. Though Im from South India , due to bad routing issue in my ISP … Im getting high ping above 90ms … and so I started to use Turbo VPN (India Location) Im getting ping like 60-75. So I suggest u guys to try Turbo VPN and see if u r getting low ping …

p.s : I confirmed with customer support that using VPN would not get u banned …

p.s : You can try other VPN but with VPN locations in South India … ( Turbo VPN is Banglore )…

There’s no Indian servers rn that’s why. Either play on that ping or wait for them to add servers ig

I agree. Although my avg ping is 100, its still pretty high!

Valorant is apparently getting Indian servers by the end of the year

I get approximately 84 ping in every mode. (Location: Delhi)

South Indian here-getting 60-80stable ping

Bruh i am from south india and before this 1.02 update i used to get 40-50 on sea servers, but post update it has ruined me and we are getting matched in either chinese or japanese servers… :confused:

Just wait for SEA servers.

Got it. Thanks for the info

Fellow high ping Indian here I am from east India. Can you please elaborate how you use TurboVPN on your PC and what settings.Thanks :slight_smile:

I am aware of that. I made this post with the intend of either the devs looking into the matter or them making quicker progress on this issue

That’s the lowest one of my friends gets as well. The rest have 120+

How are you getting 50 to 80 on EU servers?

I’ve never had 2-digit ping yet in this game. lol

sure bro try it and let me know if it works for u too …

Just download Turbo VPN from their website or Touch VPN from Microsoft store.

For Turbo VPN , choose India and connect … For Touch VPN , choose either India or Hong Kong SAR and connect … then just launch Valorant and play.

You can also try ExitLag , which helps for me and my friend … ( Try trial before purchase ).

p.s : I guess it resolve only the users with bad isp routings , bcuz ping is something strongly dependent on distance between client and server … however u can give it a try …

p.s : if u still have any doubt , u can give req to me ArDyInstinct#1shot .

But this is pointless since they’ve already mentioned they’re looking into adding Indian servers, in one of their official communications on their website. They can’t just magically speed the process up, I assume they’re working the best they can already

Try playing between 2300 to 0500 :smiley:

Not eu, I’m playing on SEA

wut, thats bad man… i feel you… lets hope for an indian server… but this patch has really ruined the game bruh, cant play on chinese servers :confused:
