Are turbo games always one sided? Maybe its me and my level, but whether I play turbo 99% is that one side absolutely destroys the other

Well, statistically speaking, no. Looking at the chances of stomps, they are no more and no less lopsided than other matches.

So perhaps you're on a bad streak of luck, or, it could be that Turbo feels just all that more harsher, since you take less time to revive and go back to feeling powerless.

There's a lot of weird quirks with statistics tho, and maybe you're in one. For example, the average turbo match length is roughly 23 and a half minutes. That's just what the numbers say. But my personal anecdote as someone who ALWAYS plays party turbo? It's that games have a coin flip chance of having Tier 5 items, corroborated bu the actual match length numbers in game. Party games being way longer is one such quirk (and is true on both rank and unranked).

I'm a bit new to the game, where can I find these statistics?

I was sure I saw these on Stratz but I spent 5 minutes looking and I can't find the page anywhere anymore. There was also one comparing some stats per rank and I also can't find it.

The ones about party lengths and "time of day" aren't actually stated tho. Those were just general impressions that were established, one because people kept talking about it, and the other because Dotabuff has a personal time of day winrate tracker (as well as winrate calendars) which help see how bad time of day messes with your performance.

Randomly got here again, you probably meant this? https://stratz.com/matches/graphs It says "18m" at the side, which could be interpreted as minutes game time, but it's actually million games played.

I play in low legeng and tbh, most games are stomps. I think it kinda has to do with the constant fighting meta as well. Generally, I'll find in games there one or 2 people who didnt get the memo and try to afk farm for 15 mins. This is almost certainly going to result in a loss if the other tema jsut groups and pushes/fights nonstop.

On the flip side, I'm having a lot of fun games if both teams are ready to fight! So many kills and team fights. Even had a few turbo games last 40 mins.

Yeah I find myself a lot in games where one team 5v1-s or 5v2-s ever team member of mine, and thats it

They are generally one sided. But you get so much for kills if you string a couple of fights together you can definitely bounce back.
