The absolute pinnacle of this defensive micromanagement is the art of kiting.
Kiting refers to deploying a unit specifically to draw the attention (aggro) of enemy troops and lead them away from your towers.
The Center Pull
By placing a cheap distraction precisely in the center, you force the enemy to walk towards it, taking fire from both of your towers simultaneously.
If you place your distraction too early, the enemy will ignore it and continue marching straight toward the lane tower.
Practice the timing in friendly battles.They pull heavy units very reliably.Surround the enemy completely.
Advanced AI Manipulation
You achieve this by placing a unit like an Ice Golem in the center, waiting for the enemy to follow, and then letting the Ice Golem walk into the opposite lane.
The enemy troops will chase the Ice Golem the entire way, taking massive damage from both towers without ever landing a single hit.

Frustrating the Opponent
