In DotA 2, to deny is to kill an allied unit so that the enemy cannot get the gold and only 25% of the XP from its death. In most cases, lane creeps and towers can be denied. And sometimes, while under certain spell effects, even heroes can be denied.
Steps
Using Attack Key
Stand within range. This is important, especially for melee heroes, so that you are fast enough to attack that creep before the enemy gets it. But keep a reasonable distance in case the enemy hero is ranged, you don't wanna get harassed.
Press "A". This is the attack command that can be used on both enemies and allies.
When the target sign comes out, click on your allied unit that has low health. The unit's health must be 10% or less to be targeted.
Press "S" right after your allied unit died to prevent your hero from auto-attacking enemies and move back to safety.Advertisement
