[CLOSE] What happened ? Units didn't TP mid

[xikens]

Hello, I just played a game in which my team won because an army didn't get teleport mid to defend the king on level 20. It's weird and I was very surprised ! Is it a random bug or something caused that ?

Without having watched the replay, I can tell you that this isn't a bug. I could read in the chatlog that red and blue crossed, so I assume it was their towers that didn't tp mid. That is because the sends (like demon, kraken etc. down to militia) need to be all dead. The ones that spawned on the cross side I mean. Units wont tp mid if sends, that spawned on their side, are still alive. After you kill them off, the units will tp mid.

Yep, that is one downside and weakness of cross if the delay is too small.

This frequently happens when crossing, but can theoretically also happen for normal builds.
The reason is that all summoned creeps (sent from the enemy team) that spawned on your lane must be killed before your towers are "allowed" to teleport mid.
So when cross building and one of your lane leaks too fast and the sent creeps run to the mid lane then your towers won't teleport mid until all sent units that spawned on your lane have been killed.

Hm ok thanks, I was very suprised cause units walked into to TP area, didn't TP, and came back to their tower place xD
