There is something wrong with Valorant and I can't figure it out.

I know this is brought up all the time but I'm at the point where I am genuinely convinced there is some underlying issue with the game.

You've all had those games where you can't seem to get a single shot in, and the enemy team almost feels as if they see you seconds before you can see them. Then you spectate a teammate and those same players don't seem to be tapping or hitting the shots they were before.

I'm at a point where I feel that, from server to server, there is some form of issue that makes it feel as if you are way more behind on the server than you actually are. I just can't get myself to genuinely believe that I can go from one game feeling super smooth and clean, hitting all my shots, to suddenly feeling like a deer in the headlights minutes later. (A fresh game)

Then the next game, everything feels fine and snappy again, as if to make you question your own consistency or skill. I know that inconsistency is a thing, but this feels far from it, its almost as if some servers are just against you.

I ask option E of the blog below to be looked into, as I believe the remote interpolation delay may be affecting games in some way, causing a much bigger delay than intended.

For context, I am a current immortal bouncing between for the last few acts, and don't see myself by any means as incredibly inconsistent, but the large shift in quality between my games in a short span is simply too large at times for me to blame only myself.
