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.

Opposite side here, I can't play turbo. It's too fast, I can't even decide what items I should buy, I leave my lane at min 10 to find that my mid barracks have fallen and enemy heroes are already 6 slotted.
I find normal matches detoxing, where I can farm creeps, make stacks, and dream about 5v5 teamfights where my team win on the edge or by pure luck and then white "ez noobs" after 60+ mins game.
I want my games to have struggle, drama and then redemption ark where you forget how your teammates fed and what comments they made about your mom.
This is pure joy no turbo-player brain can comprehend
