Dota loading too slow

[ВАЛЕРА ХДД]

Dota takes loading main menu around 5 minutes, and i wouldn't consider this a problem if it would load fast on picking screen. After i confirm a match, i get to picking screen which wont load till last pick. I've tried reinstalling dota and using disk defragmentation. My PC:
i5 7400
1050ti
16gb DDR4
HDD 2TB (disk where dota is)
SSD 120GB (disk where system is)
edit: This problem was before battle pass and before i got an SSD

1TB SSDs are super cheap right now. Put your OS and Steam on there, use the HDD for storage. Dota 2 loads up in seconds on a SSD. That would be my recommendation. SSDs are already becoming a requirement or "recommended" in some games.

I don't think the problem is in HDD, cause i don't have this problem in any other games and i have only 1 disk where i put games on.

Dota 2 seems to churn through a lot of data, especially when loading a match. I saw some similar issues sporadically in the past when I had it on a HDD, zero issues on the SSD. A few seconds to start Dota 2, instantly loads into matches.

Well, guess i'll need to load terrain every time i need to search the game until i get an SSD. Anyways, thanks for help.

Preloading the map may help a bit. If you weren't already aware, you can do this by adding "-map dota" to your launch options in the game's properties in your Steam library.
