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 it too late, the enemy will lock onto your tower, and the pull will fail entirely.
