    I wish turbo would have been around when I was starting.

    It's a great tool for learning new heroes and practicing basic mechanics. People take it less seriously and games are quick so there's usually a lot less toxicity and you don't care so much about having bad games. Plus you get items and levels much quicker so you spend a lot more time getting familiar will all your hotkeys.

    All the heroes that you can put in pretty much any lane are really strong. Ench, Tiny, Omni, DK, Razor, Viper

    Lane/matchup flexibility is king rn

    Handcuffed and I went against a team running a Omni/Huskar lane oh god the cancer. Also they of course had a sniper and SB.

    https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3751566204

    We somehow won because almost every turbo game is winnable if you wipe the enemy team after 20 minutes, but was not a fun game to play as Zeus with SB charging and Omni making Huskar invincible to me

    Artifact is in closed alpha, per internet detectives. Basically a bunch of dota personalities and HS/MtG pros are playing an untitled game on steam with some steam employees.

    I’ve never played a card game, but I’ll probably give it a try. I bet they give beta keys with TI battle pass level 2000 or some shit

    The battle pass being delayed as shit probably has something to do with the rapid decline. I've kind of decided to take a break until the next mini patch/pass is out.

    Pretty crazy that it's been 11 months since the last one dropped. The previous year there was one or another going on pretty much year round.

    I think they’ll get a bump of users with Artifact launch since there’s apparently tie ins between games

    * Morphling: Morph can now be toggled to go back and forth from the original target until the duration runs out. Has a 1 second toggle cooldown.

    Probably a nerf to roamers to make them a bit less impactful. (Feelsbadman for me)

    AA level 25 talent 900+ AoE on cold feet is god tier ability but AA only gets 25 in turbo or +1 hr games

    Also if the game goes that late then I feel like you probably have an aghs, and then the other level 25 talent is crazy good with it.

    Also if you take the Mirana ult cooldown at 25 and build octarine, your team has permanent invis.

    But then you have to play an octarine Mirana.

    This Reddit post

    All these entitled whiny punks on reddit don't know how great this game is. Always complaining about the lack of content and how delayed battlepass, arcana, or some other bullshit is. People on here daily saying that the game is boring and there's nothing to do. What the fuck are you expecting to do other than play dota? Why are you starting up dota to jerk your dick to a new crystal maiden skin? If you want to do quests go play WoW. The happiest these fucks have been in the last year is when you could see QoPs tits take up half the fucking screen on your profile page. Why are you even playing this game?

    Like seriously, I cringe every time I read something like "there isn't anything to do in this game anymore, that's why it's dying". Just the other day I was down at the local bball court and people were like "man there's nothing to do here anymore, I need some incentive to play pickup games." Nah, just kidding that didn't happen, they're there to play fucking basketball not whine about how nike announced that they'd release a michael jordan arcana 204 days ago. They're there to ball, blow off steam, fucking school some kids.

    That's the same reason 95% of us play dota. We just wanna style on some mother fuckers, pull off some cool moves, and get completely absorbed in a fun ass game. Balance changes don't affect us much at all. 99% of you bitches will continue to do the exact same things you did before a patch with zero thought as to how it impacts your ability to win. Yet you go on reddit like you're some fucking godlike analyst saying how we have shit patches and balance changes that make no sense. None of you have any fucking clue what you're talking about.

    Back in my day you had to install a third party program to fake a lan game just to get something that resembled a decent match. And even then you'd get a leaver like 25% of the time. But you know what, we put up with it. Because we loved playing dota. Now all people want is for Valve to cash in on the community's creation and waste time on shit like cosmetics and quests. Yeah, fuck that. Go play league if you want to shell out 10% of your measly peon income every month for cartoon tits and cringy cosmetics. The rest of us will be enjoying the masterpiece that is dota 2.

    So please, kindly fuck off with your asinine suggestions and stop asking for things that are at best tangential to the dota experience and at worst detrimental to its core. Go to an art museum if you want some cosmetics. Get a job if you want some quests. Play dota if you want to play some fucking dota. I know that's what I'll be doing.

    I now have as many games played with Handcuffed as I do with BrickTamland, probably due to almost all of those being turbo

    Pedur just went TI5 PPD on VP in the draft

    Took wisp which is out of the meta right now and paired him with Gyro all game. Wisp hits 15 and gets the tether grants aghs talent. Gyro is now a damage factory and almost impossible to kill. 15k lead for VP with Jugg and DK cores and gyro still destroys them.
