    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

    Do you actually think Biden is better than Trump in any of this? He’s the sitting president right now watching the genocide and we’re sending them more money. You’re making up hypothetical scenarios when what’s happening is real. WHAT YOU’RE DESCRIBING IS HAPPENING RIGHT FUCKING NOW DURING BIDEN’S TERM.

    Even in your stupid scenario I wouldn’t care since I wouldn’t vote for Trump. I’m not the one who put Biden in the ballot and I’m not the one insisting that he should be the candidate.

    You reap what you sow. Did you protest against the genocide? No. Did you boycott any companies? No. Did you donate to any supporting cause (Jewish voice for peace etc.)? No. Did you contact your elected officials about this? No.

    You could have helped stop this. You could still help stop this. But you don’t. Instead you come here and try to guilt shame people with hypothetical scenarios when they’re happening as we speak.

    It all goes back to what I have said. You just don’t care. So stop acting like you give a shit about Palestine. If a democracy wants me to choose between two genocidal maniacs, I’ll enjoy watching it burn.

    But you should vote again because “orange man bad” and maybe this time the self proclaimed non-Jewish Zionist whose pockets are lined by Israili money won’t commit genocide.

    You know it’s actually funny at this point. All of these people can go outside and find a protest. They’re all over the country. Instead they’re over here trying to guilt shame others into voting for a genocidal zionist. You wanna know why? It’s because they don’t care. That’s what it all comes down to. Either through Israili propaganda or just through blatant racism they are convinced that the massacre is somewhat acceptable or at least not completely unacceptable. Therefore voting for Biden is still a viable option.

    Exactly as you have said. My vote counts. Even if it doesn’t make a difference. I would know. Every time a child dies in Gaza, I would know that I voted for this.

    Expecting anything to change by voting for the same people is dumb as fuck. I’m expected to choose between a genocidal maniac and a fascist and somehow the dumbasses here think that they can “lesser evil” their way out of this.
