Denies

[akanna]

So this has been bugging me for awhile now but how exactly do denies work?

 

There are times when I try to deny using "A" and am unable to attack my own wave, and others where I can do it just fine

And there are games where I see my opponents do it left and right (even if I can't for some reason)

 

What are the rules on when you can and can't kill off your own creeps to deny?

 

And do you actually get anything for it or is it just to keep your opponents from getting minerals?

 

(usually I just get mad when someone keeps denying in my lane cause its kind of dick, but I thought I would finally ask about it)

Creeps need be on low HP, i think it is something around 50% or that. Only then you can deny them.

 

Your opponent gets no minerals from the creep, and only gets half the amount of the original XP (if you deny a lot, he will fall behind in levels by a small amount). Denying is not that viable anymore because it used to deny 100% of the XP, now this is not the case anymore.

you deny a small proportion of experience not sure the exact amount but its getting increased next patch i think. Also the creep has to be below 50% hp to deny it

Ohhhh I have over 9000 denies in the current version but I miss so much the denying system of 5v when it was useful and ppl ragequited whrlen they couldnt lvl up. Now its smth like: lol new user keep denying i will lvl up anyway :yaoming;

In order to deny the creep has to be at like 30% Health when you started denying it

 

Otherwise it returns that you can't attack allied stuff.

Denying now takes away 60% experience in beta afaik.
