Hero deny, how does it work

[Mortarz]

Okay, me and my friends .. everyone is confused about how does the denying of your allied heroes work? I mean autoattack, not any forced damage(chuck for example)

Sometimes, when allied hero is escaping the fight and somebody is chasing him, I can't deny him and sometimes yes, I thought it was like this:"You can deny the hero only if it's the killing blow" but this theory was proven to be wrong, does anybody here know how does it work?

if the targets hero life is below 10% and he got some kind of dot on him (for example venomancers) then it is possible to attack and deny him.

not all dots allow denying, for example you can not deny salfs ultimate or voodoo jesters cursed ground.

also bh's silence works pretty well though its kind of a slow process and probably more often used to **** with teammates rather then actaully deny them to enemies.

The single best thing I can imagine in this game is killing my team mates. This is why I absolutely love playing against Hag or Slither. Hehe I live to kill my own team mates.

I think in dota you can flat out deny teammates who are low, but if that was ported here, it'd just turn into a huge troll fest of denying teammates whenever they got low.

Really? What a shame they removed it.

If they have a dot discluding salfs ulti or cursed ground you can deny them when they are low enough. Its fun to deny someone who would survive the dot The best is sliters ult because its non-lethal and easy to team kill.

I can't exactly disprove this because I'm too lazy to test it but I'm relatively sure you can't just deny low teammates. Competitive games could easily go on to about 10 kills a side without first blood then.

bh silence,succu mesmerise and pebbles chuck also damage and makes allies deniable.
are salforis ult and cursed ground the only things that can't make a teamamte deniable?

Accursed can self-deny with his heal. Unfortunately the cast time for 'split second' denying makes it temperamental to pull-off. If you're going to die anyway, it's worth trying.
