Any way to control group every hod creep?
Wondering how control groups work for the helm of dominator neutral creep? If I assign a group to the large centaur and it's killed and I get an alpha wolf next will it still be the same group or do I need to rebind the control group every new creep?

If that's the case, any tips on how others use hod creeps effectively? I would use tab but if I have a lot of summons it's tedious getting back to my hero. Would be nice to just know this button is always for the neutral. Thanks!

Easy way - define "select all other units" hotkey in advanced hotkeys settings.
But if you have lot of units(like beastmaster with necros) more advanced setup is better.

Dota 2 remember controll groups for every hero, you only need to set them up once.
Make private lobby, get HoD and Ctrl+controll_group_hotkey(this will create controll group) a creep. Get another creep you want but this time press Shift+controll_group_hotkey(this will add unit to already existing controll group).
Repeat this with all creeps you usually use HoD on.

Next game when you controll a creep you just press your controll_group_hotkey and it will be selected. Same with manta illusions, other summons.

Ah okay, that doesn't sound too hard. So basically you'd have a control group with every neutral you'd ever control and thus in a game regardless of which neutral you take it is part of that group? Also when you use shift and the hotkey, I'm assuming the neutral that you created the control group with is gone since you can only have 1 hod creep at a time. That's okay correct?

But are you sure dota remembers control groups? I use a control group for shadow shaman wards and I feel like I have to define the control group every new game. It would be cool if it just remembered though.

Just tried this out and I'm not sure if I'm doing it incorrectly but dota does not seem to remember control groups between games nor does it seem to even remember then during the game. For instance I used hod on the ice armour ogre and set it to control group 1 and then it was killed and I got another and when I clicked the keybind it didn't work. That was in the same game lol.....
