Hi guys, GymCarryDota here (Coach, educational Content Creator and streamer). 8.5k current MMR / 9.5k peak.
Everyone knows how to aggro enemy creeps, but manipulating the aggro and movement of your own catapult is a hidden gem that even most Immortal players don't know about. This mechanic is unique because it catches the opponent completely off-guard.
We can use this in 2 main scenarios:
To completely deny XP & Gold: If the enemy hero is out of the lane (jungling, rune, dead, ganking etc) you can force your catapult to suicide into the tower before the next wave arrives.
To setup an unpredictable dive: By combining this with Fortification, you can force the tower to lock onto the catapult while you dive, creating a window the enemy simply isn't ready for.
Check out the video to see exactly how to do this.
Question for you guys: Can you think of any other creative ways to use this suicide mechanic besides these two scenarios?
