    Tower aggro also goes on cooldown(similar to creeps aggro) for 3 seconds after issuing first attack command.
    That's why always right click or issue attack command on hero when outside 500 range from tower and then dive the tower, this will allow u to right click the f*** out of enemy for next 3 seconds and tower will give no f*** whatsoever even when u are closest to tower

    I've checked out afew of your videos but not nearly all of them so Im not sure you have mentioned it.
    A trick I use alot when i am INVISIBLE and close to a creepwave and want to find out if the enemy has VISION on me or not I ATTACKMOVE on either a Enemy hero or Enemy Tower. If they have vision on me the creeps will aggro and start attacking me. If they dont have vision nothing will happen and I can be 100% sure that the enemy cannot see me. (Useful when you are trying to 1shot hero with SF etc)

The advantage of increase the volume to the average is like you said before. You can use that button like you said and decrease the volume until 0% or increase until 100% .... but, in this case ..It is necessary to rise the volume beyond 100% if you want to hear some words that he said to low?.

      The win condition is to destroy the enemy ancient... that's the only condition. You could have died 500 times and gained no killers and if you take their ancient, you still win.

      This is just an argument about semantics. I mean what is necessary to achieve a win to clarify(i.e. win teamfights, hit timings as a team, split-push, pickoffs, etc.). To say the win condition is to destroy the enemy ancient is literally telling me that the condition to win is to win.

      The thing you should be doing is doing your heroes job, know what your heroes job is then do it right. What I learned and really helped me to gain 500 mmr is this question, "Can i take a tower?" If the answer to that is yes, then i take it. If you focus objective wise its really hard to lose.

    Also, do remember that tower auto-attack is different when there's a siege unit. Siege units are the last to be focused by tower, so it'll attack anything and last siege units. Even, just for another fact, Shadow Shaman's serpent's get aggro'ed after all other units are out of range. I think they are the last picked units to attack.

      @kynanmarshall1920 Před 5 lety +1

      Unless one of the heroes is moving in and out of the 500 unit super-aggro range, it will stay aggro'd on the one who the tower started hitting first (since it will have no reason to swap targets because both you and your teammate are equal priority for it.

    Why you saying it so confusingly. Basicly you wont get atacked if youre above 500 range unless your only (nearest) unit. And also abuse trick of: 2s of isuign attack comand when youre above 500 range to get free rightlcicks upon enemy whenever theres some unit closer to tower then you.

  • @khanch.6807
    @khanch.6807 Před 5 lety

    How does it interact with units with both herocreep and ancientcreep tag?
    I play visage main and whenever I seem to dive for a kill using my familiars and other creeps to tank, it doesn't work. The tower always goes for me, even though they are supposed to hit the familiars since they are "heroes" attacking the opponent within the 500 aggro zone.
    Kinda abusive thou... I now tank the tower with salve/vanguard and let my birds harass freely.

  • @oscargonzalez3599
    @oscargonzalez3599 Před 4 lety

    This is soooooo useful! thanks man!!!
    So basically....If you enemy is melee and in diving, LITERALLY hug the tower and stun the enemy when he is next to the tower and been targeted. but if the enemy is ranged, don't do this, but just get out of enemy range. IF you are the one diving and you are melee, don't right click on the target hero UNTIL you are close enough to engage.

  • @GhostStyle007
    @GhostStyle007 Před 4 lety

    i came for a way deeper information that i sadly couldn't find in the video, pros are able to dive and right click without getting hit by the tower, they keep getting the aggro back to the nearest creep. I know the mechanic but the thing i don't know is "when does the tower reset the aggro?"
    - is it a cooldown?
    -is it before each projectile ?
    I even noticed that when i give aggro too fast, the tower ignores it, and i have to spam it again.
    so what's the secret abt the "aggro timing mechanic?"

    @Joyfulbeekeeper Před 5 lety +17

    Nice job! Though, Jenkins explained a little bit complicated, comparing to BSJ's guide on Game-Leap.
    You should remember that Towers have Attack Range of 700 and Aggro Range of 500 (just like usual creeps), and everything becomes clear.
    Everyone knows that creeps won't aggro, if you hit enemy hero while staying far away from creeps (more than 500 range). So won't towers, if you are far than their Aggro Range (500) and they have anything closer than you to hit in all their Attack Range (700).
    Just realize that and then start learning the exact priority.
