    Don't eat the ranged creep, eat the melee creep.

    Melee creeps have more health and grant more experience. It's much easier to deny ranged creeps through autos based on their positioning and killing melee creeps will push your lane harder, making it easy to manage keeping your creeps at or near tower range.

    It's, like, a display of the stereotypical male nerd apartments, except occupied by a lady, I guess? Like, ladies who have vast collections of video games, or anime figurines, or airsoft rifles

    I'm not sure I would equate the two. My endless enjoyment of Nintendo games isn't the same as curb stomping the poor, the sick, the minority or the foreign and then getting indignant whenever anybody suggests that I shouldn't.

    Lich also hurts early game cs for the opposing team as long as you repeatedly eat your ranged creep.

    I solo laned him earlier today, totally demolished in my lane but I had trouble later because I still struggle with understanding what item names correspond to what I'm used to. And the other team had like 2 or even 3 invis heroes that I didn't know what their skills were. :(
    Oof.

    Hang in there, Honk. You'll get it.

    Are you playing with other PA dudes?

    I haven't yet! I bought it because my regular moba crew is thinking about switching over and so I decided to try it out for a while. Fun so far but I have only played maybe 5 or 6 games yet, playing single draft to get to try some new heroes.

    I also remembered now that all the text is in Swedish. I really need to change that immediately so I don't get overly confused about items.
    You bought it? Aw man, everyone and their mother has free copies. :P

    Join the PA channel next time you're on. Maybe you'll find someone who can give you some tips.

    I tried to stop him man, but he wouldn't listen!

    :P

    I was like "Oh man I got this for free?"
    Then "Maaaan what it was only for spectating?"
    *draws credit card*

    Effective marketing I'd say. :)

    the exp for denied creeps is all the same, and ranged creeps only get hit down when the melee creeps are all dead and you have to back off a bit

    Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

    Never use Lich's deny in exp range. That way the enemy doesn't get the denied XP amount, they get ZERO experience. That way, the 62 experience from the melee creep isn't being cut to a smaller amount, it's getting turned into nothing. Deny skills shouldn't be used in experience range of an enemy hero.

    It has plenty to do with it. In-lane, you're Lich. You're either babysitting a carry or acting as a ward placer. All you HAVE to do is harass enemy heroes or deny creeps. You have literally zero use for CS. You should have absolutely zero issue in-lane denying creeps, even with his poor attack animation. You deny creeps out of 1200 range, you level ritual first, you start denying your creeps at half health and you control the lane.

    Using dark ritual on a current wave is silly. Use it on an approaching wave. Current wave should be 100% manageable by auto-attack denies. If you can't control the pace of your lane as Lich then I have no sympathy.

    I will reiterate that dark ritual generates zero exp regardless of whether the target is in the exp range or not. you use it to control the position of the wave. it is usually easy to push out waves, that is why people stack and pull at all; it is pulling the wave in that is tricky and that is where popping the ranged creep works great. If you let ranged creeps accumulate, they will push out the wave no matter how many melee creeps you deny

    Yes, 'sacrifice' grants zero exp no matter how close or far the enemy hero is.

    Stacking and pulling is a given. Depends on whether you're tri-laning or not. If you have to do it as Lich, he has room for a counter ward. You can level nova first and deny every wave if you get wolves and centaurs stacked. Deny melee creeps and let the centaurs tear through the rest. Ranged creeps do 3 more damage (piercing) and have like 200 less health. If you want to keep your lane as optimally retracted as possible, the melee creeps are the go-to for denies with dark ritual. Whenever someone denies my ranged creep for me mid I always just sigh and go with it. Melee creeps are a better target. More EXP deny, more forcing your lane to push. I've even denied the large camp for when people try to pull toplane as Sentinel via tangos.

    why do you want to push your lane

    it's a problem if it moves under your tower, but when that happens it's relatively easy to push back out

    you can rely on melee creeps to wear each other down, but ranged creeps always have die up close and personal. There's no exp deny benefit since autoattack denials generate the same amount of exp regardless of whether it's ranged or melee. this is a pure lane equilibrium thing
