Turbo is the Dota 2 game type that serves as an expedited version of All Pick.
It keeps the basic hero-selection concept of All Pick while accelerating the match through altered rules. Turbo provides heroes with gold and experience more quickly, weakens defensive towers, and shortens respawn times. These changes mean players reach key items and abilities sooner, fights happen earlier, and matches usually progress faster than standard All Pick games.
Valve introduced Turbo in the 7.07 update, also known as Dueling Fates, in 2017. The mode was designed to offer a quicker way to experience Dota 2 without abandoning the familiar five-versus-five structure and broad hero roster. It remains useful for players who want a less time-intensive match or a lower-pressure setting for experimenting with heroes and builds.
Turbo is not the same as All Random or Captain’s Mode. All Random assigns heroes randomly, while Captain’s Mode uses a structured drafting process in which captains select heroes for their teams. Turbo changes the pace and balance of the match; it does not mean heroes are selected randomly.
