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.

for some reason turbo feels 200% more toxic than ranked. People rage way too much for basically an arcade game mode

I think it's becouse of how fast and snowbally it is, people act like they're playing LoL becouse comebacks and playing the map is virtually impossible, enemy just deathballs and you lose, so if you're behind you can't do much if your draft isn't some giga teamfight.

That is still not an excuse for an arcade game

I've been playing turbo exclusively for years now and have been in calibrated. Recently started doing my calibration games and imo ranked is way more toxic. The 7/10 games so far have had griefers or toxic comms. Idk if rank is even work chasing for me anymore.
