Tips

 * Dominated creeps can be used to remotely stack the ancient camp. Some creeps have abilities that are very useful, such as Dark Troll Summoner and Ogre Frostmage.
 * You can dominate the Alpha Wolf for the helpful damage aura and have it follow your carry.
 * A dominated creep can be used as a scout that can be placed inside the Roshan pit. Just be sure not to place it too close to Roshan, so he does not attack it.
 * Use a dominated creep to stack Ancient Camps.
 * Dominate always sets the creep's base movement speed to 350. The only units which have more than 350 movement speed are 's wolves. This means dominating one of them actually reduces their base speed down to 350. Besides these, all other dominatable creeps have either lower than, or exactly 350 movement speed.
