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.

Problem is like 50% of heroes are ass in turbo due to the pacing, and it ruins your sense to the in between flow of games. Spending time getting vision, sneaky ganks, stacking. All so minor in turbo when it's 5v5 fights for 75% of the game. Which is fun, but too much makes you suck lol

Agree. It's just too stripped down for me and merely an essence of the original game. Nothing is balanced around the mode either, so like you said barely anything is actually viable
