Rerouting all internet traffic for more direct path and lower ping

Hi guys,
I am currently experiencing some networking problems in a game (Valorant) I have been playing a long time due to a bunch of routing changes my ISP has made. Can I program static routes on my router/modem to reduce the number of hops the traffic goes through.  I am not sure if you can do that or not but if you can could someone explain to me where I would send the traffic if I did want to program a static route to the game servers?
i have picture show a trace route for the game (Valorant) server but i cant post pictures :/
