Dota 2
How do you deny creeps and towers?
For the love of god someone please tell me how to. I have no idea how to and most people seem to not know either. My control set up is wasd + mouse for camera and then q e f for skills.

go look at settings and see what key is assigned to attack (the default being "A")

Press your Attack Move key and click the creep/tower to attack it if it is below 50%/10% of its HP.
Hit "A" (to bring up the move/attack command), then click whatever it is you want to deny. Creeps: 50% health. Towers: 10% health. Heroes: 25% health (when under certain debuffs).

Glad I could help.
My "attack move" Is space. Yet i've tried holding down space and right clicking a creep when it has low health and nothin.
Am I not supposed to hold the attack move button down while I click on what I want to kill? Like do I just click it once, let go, then attack? Im so confused,

Try binding it to something other than space. And yes, you don't need to hold it down.

Edit: That moment when you realise you failed to type that one word that changed the context of the post. Give me a moment to facepalm here.

Ah alright i'll see if that helps any.

Hold the key down and hover with your mouse over the intended target, if the red "targeting frame" appears you are doing it right. Otherwise you are either pressing the wrong key or the target still has to much HP.
I've got it bound to "A" (the default), and i just tap A then left-click the deny target. If all else fails, try resetting your keybinds.

no need to hold it. You press the button for "attack move" then he cursor changes to targeting mode (just like the one when using targeted skills). Then you click on what you want to deny.
You can only deny crreps below 50% HP. Towers have to be below 10% HP (which is 130 for tier 1 towers)

Theres also a console command you can use so that it does it automatically with right clicks:
dota_force_right_click_attack 1

I would suggest rebinding the camera controls off of wasd, b/c using your mouse or the mini map to move your screen should be sufficient. You are missing out on the abilitiy to use A for attack and S to stop (both very important), as well as having to assign your W skill to another button. All of this means having to move around the keyboard way too much to do the important stuff.

Obviously everyone is going to have their own preference, but making sure that all your important keys are easily accessible and having them close to each other is going to make playing much easier.
It works no guys thanks for the help.
