Really akward for me, the specs are already switched to ALL low, my PC is on battery while playing, I just keep the antivirus software working while playing and still having drops in game especially when I’m trading while playing (when I peek on someone and abit effects happens) I’ve already downloaded multiple softwares mostly didn’t help alot, like QuickCPU and so on..

Can I have a support towards this?

You already gave yourself the answer.
Plug the power cord in.
Don't leave the Anti-Virus working while playing "demanding" games.
Maybe your system is also thermal throttling. Check the temperatures and make sure it's not all dusty inside so airflow isn't obstructed and heat can dissipate more efficiently.

Might aswell check how much the HDD/SSD is utilized while your Anti-Virus is checking all your 250GB cute anime girl picture folders.
Also a S.M.A.R.T. Healthcheck could be useful, to see if the drive is still in good health.

- Check if the laptop is using high performance plan and always use the power code when you gaming.
- Most of antivirus have a option to disable scans and other heavy tasks when you play games
- Remove all unnecessary optimization programs (QuickCPU) and do almost everything manual
- Disable startup and background programs which you're not using in gaming sessions
There's alot of other tweaks you can try but depends of the specs you use atm.

I would start by asking what specs does your PC have? Some modern games nowadays, if not all, are unoptimized crap hell which are taxing a lot to the CPU/GPU. If your hardware rig is not beef'd up enough to cope with it, you might as well forget about Valorant. Optimization apps wouldn't help you that much.

Since I assume your PC is a laptop, is it a dedicated gaming laptop with some proper cooling or just a normal one?
