Long load times can be frustrating, especially with your hardware. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Update Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. Sometimes outdated drivers can cause performance issues.
2. Performance Settings: Check your in-game settings and set them to lower if necessary. Sometimes, certain configurations can cause longer load times.
3. Background Processes: Close unnecessary background processes that might be using your CPU or disk bandwidth.
4. Reinstall VALORANT: If the issue persists, try reinstalling VALORANT and the Riot Client to ensure there are no corrupted files.
5. Check Disk Health: Ensure your SSD/HDD is in good health and not causing delays. A failing disk can cause long load times.
6. Network Issues: Though less likely, network issues can also cause delays when loading into a game. Make sure your connection is stable.

since overall ssd is faster, so your load times will be faster too.
that's fair, except i don't have space on my c drive, 💀
what's faster, internal hdd or external ssd?
ah yes, but i meant more in terms of internal and external, since i think theres a lot more delay when it comes to read/write to external drives as a pose to something like an internal ssd which is directly attached to the motherboard
not sure bout that, i just know that the c-drive is faster :val_CatBigStare:
i did a quick look online an external ssd are still way faster than internal hdds, so ill probably just download valorant on my external hard drive
Update: reinstalling to ssd worked, load times are back to normal
