Game loads slow & AFK Penalty

Hi, I’ve been having issues with my game lately, I’d say probably 3 weeks ago? The issue: Game loads slow and I am only loaded in after 2nd or 3rd round. So my workaround this issue is Team Deathmatch as warm-up and even if it is slow, it doesn’t affect the game as much as a ranked game. This morning I queued a ranked game (3rd game) with my friends after already playing 1 TDM and another ranked, so total 2 games. After agent select in the 3rd game, I was exited back to my desktop without any error message or notifications. The game didn’t load and it seemed as if I had dodged even though I had already picked my agent and we were already in the game loading screen with everyone else. I tried to queue for another TDM and got to the game loading screen after selecting an agent. Again, the game exited. I force closed Valorant through Task Manager and restarted my laptop. When I relaunched Valorant, I was stuck in Valorant launch loading screen before an error message popped up (unfortunately I forgot to screenshot it, but it wasn’t any error like 9003 or 9004, it was just words). I couldn’t launch Valorant through the desktop shortcut anymore after that so I tried Riot Client. In the client, it was detected that my game crashed so instead of play, the button changed to update. Once the process was completed, I tried launching again but was still stuck in the loading screen. So I reset my laptop and reinstalled Riot client, Vanguard & Valorant. Upon launching Valorant, I was greeted with a 1 hr 30 mins AFK penalty. Although I find it unjust, I’d be okay if my game functions normally now that I have a clean reinstall. Waited 1.5 hrs to queue for a TDM just to test the waters, got through agent select and once again, kicked out of the game, and this Tim without any error message. I’ve submitted a support ticket already, attached with report logs gathered from the RRT. Just wondering if anyone else is facing the same issue?
