How do you "deny" lane creeps?

Yesterday I saw my enemy killing his own lane creeps to deny me the $, every time he did it there appeared a little "denied" word. However, when I tried to A-attack my own creeps my hero just wouldn't do that. How is this deny done and is it really worth the micre it would take (for example I could use that time to kill some neutrals).

Denying only gives the enemy 60%(I believe) of the normal experience and won't allow them to gain minerals from killing the creep. There is very little point in denying your creep if the enemy is not around or you are zoning him out far enough.

 

Also keep in mind the tactic of freezing the lane, such that you don't damage the enemy creep at all except to last hit and to also damage and deny your own creep as much as possible so that you keep the wave away from the enemy tower. You do this when you are winning the lane and can zone the enemy out of the creep wave. So tower hugging heroes can't gain minerals and experience and if they don't hug their tower they are in danger of being ganked or poked/harassed.

It may be harder to deny creeps if you don't turn on the health bars on at all times. This can be done via options ---> gameplay and setting he health bars as always on if you don't have that setup. Otherwise you'll be hovering to check the health of every individual creep.

they changed it to 75-80% a while ago

so basically denying creeps just means less money now unless you can keep the hero way out of range
