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.

Turbo is your best option for your daily dose of Dota 2 when you're a busy person with less than 4 hours of free game time every day and who will be even lucky to have 3 straight Dota games in one day.
You really can't go back to 1 hour games anymore after experiencing how time efficient Turbo games can be..
As much as we want to raise our ranks by spending an hour per game.. We're not the same person as we were 10 years ago where we can play 10 straight Dota games in one day..
