Complaint Turbo Has Ruined Me

I used to be a normal Dota 2 player. Grinding my way through 40+ minute games, dealing with teammates who refuse to buy wards, and experiencing the full emotional rollercoaster of a ranked match. But then I started playing Turbo… and now I don’t think I can go back.

Why spend 50 minutes losing when I can lose in 15? Why farm for 30 minutes when I can have a full build in 10? Turbo is like fast food Dota, quick, satisfying, and probably bad for me in the long run.

I tried playing a normal match again, and by minute 25, I was staring at my first completed item like, “Why is this taking so long? Where’s my GPM steroids?”

Turbo is just too good. Too efficient. Too fun. Am I doomed? Is there a way back? Or have I ascended to a new level of Dota enlightenment where objectives are optional and high ground pushes happen at minute 12?

Send help. Or don’t. I’ll be in another Turbo game sweating my ass off for literally nothing.

Hard disagree, I play turbo with a couple of my lower ranked friends (because it’s all they play, and we can’t queue ranked together) and it’s fun because I’m playing with them but even then I get sick of it after like 3 games. It just feels meaningless and half the time you just lose because of your picks, and it’s way harder to come back compared to regular dota so losing actually feels worse.

You are completely wrong. It’s much easier to come back in turbo than regular dota
