DOTA Denying Creeps

Todays Tactic Chat: Denying Creeps

Denying creeps is very important during the start of a DOTA game. Level 1 hero's generally ned 3 or 4 creep kills to get a new level.

Denying an opponent a creep will allow you a massive advantage over your competitors. You don't just reduce the experience your enemies receive, you also stop them from getting gold from the creep kills.

To deny a creep, you must attack your own creep, when they are very low on health (you can only attack your own creeps when they have lesss than 50% of their maximum hp).

You can also do the same to towers, denying your own towers before an enemy takes them - prevents them from getting large amounts of gold. And anyone knows in DOTA, gold is king.

Some say denying is a 'cheap' or 'dirty' way of playing DOTA - but the truth is - it's in the rules and allowed in game. Learn to deny or get used to losing to the pros.

Be sure and visit our forums, we have many news users now and look forward to your DOTA ideas and tips.

Some players judge the skills and ability of their fellow player with the creeps deny. The good you are in denying, the good dota player you are. Its not all about killing creeps , pushing and killing. Denying is part of that game and you may type "di" for deny info. The information will be shown at the upper right of you screen and an exclamation point will appear above the creeps' head when it is denied.

If you can only win, by killing your own people (and abuse the WC3 game mechanic of "xp and gold only for the killing blow), you are not good enough to win it the normal way. So play as you like, but admit to be a lamer.
