Dota 2 June 8 update official patch notes: Turbo play tweaks, gameplay changes, and more

A new Dota 2 update has been pushed by Valve, bringing a slew of gameplay changes and tweaks to the title's Turbo match mode. These changes are engineered to have a positive impact on the player experience, along with an overall balancing of their entire meta. For those unaware, Dota 2 received a major update in April 2023 that overhauled a number of in-game mechanics.

Turbo mode features all the same rules as a normal All Pick match. The major difference lies in the fact that matches in the Turbo mode are significantly shorter due to factors like faster drafting, more gold and experience earned, towers having lesser health. and more.

The patch notes for the latest update can be found below.
