This CRAZY WC3 micro trick slows down your opponent's creeping! 

Oldest trick in the book

Yes,me lord

Even Grubby just found out about this recently due to a viewer asking him to test that out

That has happened before in some of his vids grub tries to kill the worker

haha gem question

Pretty simple… always the last peon to hit repair

if grubby recommends it, its worth it

If you were not planning on fighting them any time soon it's probably a great idea, but yeah if you are planning on taking that fight I guess you would just hope the other player takes a second to react to your units which could be pretty strong now that I think about it

These Up and down sides makes this strategically interesting!

+ you occupy one peon for a large period of time

Yeah bcs he just recently got this information, one of his followers or whatever told him to try this trick and he did it and was in awe himself lol, at least he should give him the credit for it.

Yes, which can be helpful vs melee creeps, but you have to be really precise to avoid their attack animation altogether. Most likely they'll alternate their hits is a more likely outcome

Best way to become supplyblocked

@@billywonka2469 not smoking. But probably you are and it is not helping me nor you.

Correct. It's about slowing down an opponent creeping, not about HP effciency. Good observation

@@FollowGrubbyhow would creeping like this help your opponent!? You do this to take less damage on your own army while creeping

​@@billywonka2469because its ussually used for scouting peon not intended to work on gold, build or wood. While u scout enemies, u can slow enemy creeping by that. But it is also helping enemy if u do it that way on ur own creep site. Because ur peon could be working on something else. And also creeping takes more time. U just save some hp.

u know ancient of war creeping ?

Trolls hate new coats of paint

@@dampintellectah k thanks

And your base died to your peon?

@@FollowGrubby haha yep

WHAT?! Work-work.

I'm assuming it can make a difference of you starting at the next creep camp while your opponent is still stuck on the first camp

I think so.... you take less damage so you save gold on salves. Though you lose a little bit of wood gathering with the extra peon not being in use

Yes it is used 🤓 Happy (Undead) used it against Moon (Night elf). Which actually a big deal since ancient of war cant walk that fast to tank big creeps And usually you send your scout worker, so you don't lose a lot anyways

Yes it's good to mention the AoW scenario. In the clip it looks like luring away the creeps might be beneficial to the player that's creeping, which is confusing

Warcraft 3 is a comparatively slow game. The issue when creeping this spot is losing the fight, so distracting the creeps you take less damage which allows you to kill the camp.

Not saying your sentiment is wrong, but it'd be termed an "exploit", cos there's no bugs involved here.

This isn't a bug, it's intended AI behavior. A player can force that to his advantage

This is a bug. Creeps are programmed to fight players. An unintended consequence of a program's configuration that makes it not do what it's designed to do? Bug. This AI behaviour is so stupid that you will not convince me that designers deliberately went "Oh yes, neutral creep camps must absolutely ignore the army killing them and instead die rushing to attack a unit that is moving to repair a building half a map away" this is a bug

​@@martinkrauser4029 May be the original intention was to prioritize building/repairing workers so that players wouldn't be able to build town hall (base) or towers before they finished off the creeps. So they bumped up the attack priority of building/repairing workers over army. So it's not a bug. But a feature that's getting used in unintended way.

WC engine jank. Same with switching enemy/tower aggro by A-moving your own units under it. Like lol wtf.
