Sentries/dust/gem/gondar/slardar/force staff/bristleback/zeus/abaddon/alchemist. Seriously why would you even bother countering him, he's practically useless.

You know just how to make me feel like a n00b :P

90% of the time i take him on he hits 25 before everyone else and simply runs that team. I feel he is OP but I am a serious newb.

Denying creeps is where I draw the line in the sand of how competitively I want to play dota.. I am capable of it and do it every now and then but to constantly time your animations and creep HP is simply no fun and too excessive for me.

Na man I have to disagree there bro. Once you get into denying you notice that it starts to allow you more freedom to move and forces mistakes out of your opponent; It's not even competitive it's just a higher skill thing.

What exactly is denying creeps? Canceling last hits of your own creeps? Does this not deduct XP or have some drawback?

The enemy gets reduced xp and loses the gold they could've gotten from the last hit:


"Denying is the act of preventing enemy Heroes from getting the last hit by getting the last hit yourself. In most cases this prevents your enemy from gaining the full bounty of gold and experience from the kill.
Denying Creeps
You can deny creeps by forcing an attack command on them when they are under 50% health.
A denied creep divides 36 exp to enemy heroes within 1300 range. A melee\ranged creep would normally give 62\41 exp in 1300 range respectively."

Thanks, I've always wondered about the xp in regards to denying.
 
Denyign and last hitting is a crucial aspect of the game what i found helps is i ahve set my right clickto attack my creeps as well so i dotn have attack click the whole time
 
Even aside from the XP and gold advantage gain over your opponents, denying creeps while the carry is getting his/her share of last hits, allows you to keep a lane equilibrium as opposed to having the lane pushed into their tower, which allows the enemy some last hits while your carry doesn't get his/her share unless they want to get wailed on by the tower.
 
after reading a bit on how to actually play dota and not to suck as bad, i've not had a chance to play it again :) will try and play a game somewhere this week or weekend to test out some of the things i read.
