it takes 20 minutes to load in

before playing the game i need to afk in a deathmatch (because i won't get afk penalty's) and i hardly ever get past the loading screen for the first match the entire match will play out with me in a loading screen then the second deathmatch i normally get in the last 20 seconds and then finally the third one i normally enter around the ending of warmup. Is there actually anyway to stop this and make me just load in normally like my friends this process really turns me off from playing the game

This is an issue with files loading off of your disk. You might have a HDD. If you do, you should defragment it or get an SSD and place Valorant on it. Use windows key + r than type "dfrgui" to check what type of drive you have. Learn how to defragment: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/defragment-your-windows-10-pc-048aefac-7f1f-4632-d48a-9700c4ec702a
Solid State Drives (SSD) and Hard Disk Drives (HDD) are data storage devices. SSDs are usually much smaller, thinner, and offer more storage volume, speed, and efficiency compared to HDDs.
