well turbo games’ financials are completely different.

jungle camps are essentially worthless while kills give you more money. so your gameplay style, item build etc. should reflect that. tp cooldowns are shorter. one of the best items you can get early on is boots of travel. because you can join any fight and therefore get more gold (since again, kills are much more valuable in turbo). some teams in turbo focus too much on farming while their other lanes are getting killed. just one tp and you can swing the whole thing around. in regular games, kills in early on do not give you that much gold. the biggest benefit of an early game kill is usually the enemy team losing farm. but in turbo they can lead to snowballing like you said. but because of that same mechanism, comebacks are much easier in turbo as well. smoke with your team and get two kills and you’ll be back in action. honestly just don’t jungle and you win.

edit: I forgot to add. all of this stuff about gold applies to exp as well. enemy team is level 20 while you’re 14. one smoke kill and you’re the same level if not more

as for your que times question, I live in the US but have friends within Western eu so I frequently play weu games. usually we have no issue finding a game within 1-2 minutes. we play around 4 pm here so that’s 9 pm uk. weekdays are worse though obviously. I think Dota 2’s player base is older than most games and we all have jobs

Venge arcana is HOT

It’s so weird to see Turkey doing something right.

What role do you play?

APES TOGETHER STRONG!!!

I’d pay for this

At least they were honest that they were not going to focus that much on the compendium

Time to interact with other heroes lol

My boy rtz got mad with the PA

Can my boy arteezy win anything this year

Love the John wick stuff

90K accounts. God damn. I’d love to see how many of those we recently active.

This is such great news for me. I’m married and I have a son now. I can only play dota once a week (if I’m lucky). Imagine my frustration when I would get smurfs on the two games I play in a week. It was soul crushing. It was definitely ruining the game

JEALOUS!!!

Can my boy artour get an aegis this year

Honestly fuck the battle pass. Forget the arcanas, it became close to impossible to even get the immortals last year. I’m glad they chose to improve the game instead of asking for $100 for an arcana

Waga is like 10k bulldog hasn’t played on his main for years. Likely 6k or sth

Wd nerfs aren’t enough imho

Enigma’s laning got fucked

I love whoever this new guy is

Not my overthrow 3.0!!!
