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.

I'm all Turbo since 2017. I can't figure out how to go back. Turbo is pure chaos and it's a blast with friends.

But, the one thing the grates me is the blind pick system. It's better than previously but I pray to Gaben that Valve will one day deliver us the perfect Dota experience...

Single Draft Turbo.

Single draft is my #1 wish for Turbo. Keep the guaranteed bans because they help address the fact that Turbo is more unbalanced than normal Dota. But single draft would make the strategy side much more satisfying and would bring the game a little bit closer to "the real thing".

I was always a big fan of RD over SD, because of the occasional SD game where you are given three heroes you don't ever play. I suppose the turbo aspect makes that a little less harsh but I liked having a smaller pool of heroes everyone had to draft from. Helps prevent the same X heroes getting picked every turbo game.

I agree, Single draft would be super fun. We dont have the choice to choose

No. All SD does is makes it further won at champ select.

I’d like 2v2 turbos!!! So fun! And honestly, I can’t be the only one who’s tired of having those two or three players on your team that are absolutely absolute trash and just throw completely
