One idea is to delete some random DLL files from the game’s folder. It might make the game crash without looking suspicious really. Just make sure not to mess with any important system files!

Damn good idea, thanks!

How about downclocking your CPU or RAM? Or even disabling some cores? That could impact performance and make the game unplayable without it being too obvious! Just be careful with that stuff.

You could consider switching to Linux, especially since Valorant’s anti-cheat doesn’t work there out of the box. It’ll definitely give you some time to figure things out without it being obvious. Just keep in mind you’ll have to deal with some setup headaches!
