VALORANT’s slow load times have players begging for an iconic Counter-Strike feature
If you thought bugs were annoying, the loading speeds of VALORANT matches aren’t a pleasant thing to deal with, either. Besides shedding light on the outrageously slow load times, players are now demanding Riot Games to add one of Counter-Strike’s most popular features as a means to make the experience of loading into a match better.
In a Reddit post dated Oct. 11, a player named u/dergy621 shared their thoughts on VALORANT’s load speeds, flaming Riot for not optimizing the game’s most basic feature. “It’s crazy how much better looking and bigger scale multiplayer shooters can open and load you into a match in the same time it takes VALORANT just to load the main menu,” they said.
