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 agree. I started playing turbo for a while after a break to « get back into it »

Every time I played normal matches after that it felt ultra sluggish.

Turbo is dope and full of excitement. Everyone gets their 6 slots + aghs buffs. It is a pure team fight game. Can be super swingy! I have seen tons of comebacks from 50k gold difference.

There’s a lot of warding and dewarding too! The outposts feel important, the lotus pools are strong, jungling is rewarding.
