I have 3000 hours in this game and honestly, it is SO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unbalanced nowadays. I used to think this game was SO much better than LoL, but I honestly can't say that anymore. Also, the community have gotten so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ toxic it makes any other game look like a nice place. I used to like this over LoL because it's more challenging and the community has far less kids. I can't tell if it has less kids anymore or people just have got way more toxic.

That's not my main problem however. I like to play Turbo, I ain't gonna lie. I literally never play Normal All Pick/Ranked. It's just too slow phased for my taste. (Yes, I didn't have the majority of my 3k hours before Turbo was a thing, but back then I didn't ahve any "Tubo choice".) I don't find the game the game as fun anymore. You always see the same heroes over and over again, nothing new always the same boring meta. Lion and Ogre since 7.20. You can't havea a game without them.
And whether or not we talk 7.20 you'll see a fed PA 9/10 times. I can't tell why, but my bet would be her dagger with insanely retarded manacost and usability.

Heroes that are strong already tend to get buffs, and strong heroes are the ones we usually see in-game because they're the easiest to play or whatever. I don't know why, but I tend to be against the same small pool of heroes game after game. Whether it be because it's Turbo I can't tell. That might be why, because they're much much easier in turbo with courier 24/7 flying from and to base with items.
And the less fortunate heroes tend to be forgotten in a dark corner somewhere in a Chinese development environment.
I like to think that these "updates" are based on normal all pick/ranked, but I can't tell because I rarely play that. Maybe I should start on that again?

I struggle to commend this game anymore, it's kinda boring and tedious, but rather addictive at the same time.
I would LOVE to see Shadow Blade removed and move the passive breaker onto another/new item.
I have seen two scenarios over and over with Shadow Blade. Either you get deleted because there are nothing to detect a Shadow Blade or, the scenario with Shadow Blade on your team, you lack damage on the team because SO many people will sacrifice literally EVERYTHING for invisibility. It doesn't matter if it works or not, people will ALWAYS get it and it's sooooo annoying to look at. I would love to see people be creative in this game and do something new and unexpected, but sadly this has become the same as LoL, a game where the meta controls almost everything. Always the same items on heroes. I can't tell if it's because people don't know how to play with other builds or because they just refuse to and prefer to be toxic instead. Because that's something that follows a meta build for some reason.

Should I ditch turbo and hope for Normal All Pick and Ranked to be more fun?

This is what I think about Dota for now. It might change in the future htough. Hopefully. I wish it does.

For anyone loving the good old RTS games, this might not be for you.
I like the concept of this game, but I do not like the finish of this game.
One can walk in with his mech (Hero), into the base/outpost, and kill almost all units before having to leave to get more health. Not fun.
I've played only two games, and that might not be enough to fully justify anything really, but massing tanks and killing all units with mech is just zero fun in my opinion and not my type of game I guess.
This review might change later, but for now it's not much fun for me at least.
