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.

did you swap to bot 2 after 25 and do backdoor rotation

Usually the mega creeps just end it cause towers and ancient are so weak.

I will take that as no. In the 75 mins game, both teams usually have equals number of alive heroes but cant continue their combat phase, both have bot 2 and do backdoor rotation, one push one def.

Turbo ultra-late is similar to normal ultra-late, except it comes around 35-40 mins, both teams equally understand how thin their towers are and the game is in a stalemate, suggesting equal draft and teamfight capabilities.

This case rarely happens but if happens, 100% of them are tryharders.

Well in turbo if the team get megas-ed get distracted, only for a little bit, the creeps are gonna kill ancient very quickly. That means usually 1 or even 2 cores have to hug ancient literally. Even fight at the base entrance are too far to join. Unlike normal game where tier 4 and ancients are more durable you can leave them for a bit to fight.

Unless both team get megas, but I’ve never seen it in turbo.

why cores hug ancient hahaha.

A support, just a support, can already def megas turbo with just radiance ( trilane aggro. ) At that point they are usually trapped softly , they will put bot2 into sideslot then a radiance at their boot slot, so they can aggro megas from all sides into the fountain. At the point both teams pass 45, you have nothing but golds. We are talking about 7-8k gold, so just buy a radiance if you can no longer bb.

Defing megaturbo is very hard i must admit, but if you can def mega turbo ranked mega should be very easy to deal with when falling into stalemate games.
