    Something happened in my last game and enemy creeps sometimes looked like allied creeps... green health bar and I couldnt attack them with right clicking only with my attack button.... W T F? ^.-

      ypapp, there's been bugs like these ever since I started playing dota. I guess it has something with you missing some of the information that you're supposed to absorb, which causes bugs. Unless you have superb internet, bugs like these will probably occur as occasions until Valve fixes :cheeky:

          It is due to DotA communicating with UDP, this means that the packets are not guaranteed to arrive or not arrive as they were sent, a certain digit being changed or a packet not arrived can lead to the creep to be considered ally rather than enemy and it might not be corrected. Things such as A-click or auto-attack still work, might not be able to cast stuff on creeps also.

          It is not really valves fault to begin with as UDP is the best way to keep the ping as low as possible however the developers have to counteract the risk of packageloss or alteration. A balance was made to assure a low ping and a low risk of such things
