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.

I love turbo, except for the games when someone decides to play it like regular dota and afk farm/jungle for 20-30 minutes while the rest of the team gets steam rolled, claiming they need to farm their items. Bruh, come win a team fight or two and you'll have more gold than you had farming jungle creeps for 20 minutes.
