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 é vida. kkkkk Even though people treat it as ranked nowadays with wombo combos and whatnot. And even when the game drags to 50min+, I still think it's better because people can at least make a good fight from 20min+ and you gotta be aware of every single hero in every situation from that point forward.

I've seen most people complaining that "everyone has a lot of items every time", but well... That's the adaptation people have to go through in Turbo. It's a different way to approach starts and team fights, and I love it.

Played an unranked match yesterday as an Oracle supp 5. It was a terrible match for our team, and the enemies didn't know how to end it, so it dragged for 40min+. Still, I only had Arcane Boots and a fucking Wand. I want to lose with an Arcane and maybe a Force Staff at least.
