Update your graphics drivers! Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of lag and performance issues, especially after a game update. Hit up your graphics card's website and grab the latest drivers.

Honestly, just lower your graphics settings. Valorant isn't super demanding, but updates can sometimes reset your settings or add features that strain your system more than before. Turning down graphics can reduce lag a lot.

Check for background apps that might be eating up your bandwidth or processing power. I had Discord running once during a game and didn't realize it was hogging my CPU. Closed it and boom, lag gone!

Sometimes, the problem's on their end. Check Valorant's social media and forums to see if other players are experiencing the same issues. If it's a widespread problem, Riot Games will likely roll out a fix soon.

After a Valorant update, if you're experiencing lag, start by checking your internet connection. Sometimes, it's as simple as resetting your router. Also, make sure your PC meets the game's system requirements. You might need to adjust your in-game settings, lowering graphics for better performance. If all else fails, reinstalling Valorant can sometimes work miracles!
