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

Ubuntu and essentially every other answer is wrong.

if I had to bet on one distro for the next 5 years and I had to stay on it, it would be Ubuntu.

I run Arch right now but I would never bet on Arch.

This is in no particular order. I was just trying to remember the games I enjoyed the most on the steam deck.

It’s Google ads bro. Just go to your Google ads settings

Funded by Google but not available on Android?

Without Googling anything I would guess about 60% of those were killed by Israel within the last month.

Vice City is back baby

Damage is done anyway. Classic tactics

I have a son. It’s hard to invest an hour of my time and full attention in a game.

Fast and furious XV: The return of Naruto

If you mean MMR then just playing the same heroes instead of trying to play everything.

Otherwise as a support watching pro players and their warding, banking and smoking patterns really helped. Especially with the new map

Oh you mean the bs stun nerf next to the ult buff?

It’s not the ult, it’s the shard. Even as a 5 he becomes a nuisance in late game that does incredible damage. Even when you try to stop him he just activates his shard and you can’t do anything.

No witch doctor nerf? Seriously?

Open source is the only way

Hey remember when Israel was trying to cover up the fact that they were bombing hospitals by telling people Hamas bombed Gaza’s hospitals? Now they aren’t even trying to lie. They just bomb’em.

I know. It was satire

Meh old news. Let’s talk about the real issues like the rise in antisemitism.
