Timmy the Cruel (v3.8)

The Cruel Ghoul of Stratholme

Once upon a time, in a land once flourishing with life, Little Timmy looked up to famous Paladins such as Uther the Lightbringer and his student Prince Arthas. Little Timmy was even able to meet the lucky prince! What a surprise! Meeting the Prince would surely influence him and change him forever! 

Little did he know that the change was not a good one. Timmy was caught up in the purging deaths near Stratholme, and like many who died in Stratholme he did not stay dead long. Timmy was risen from the dead with one goal as a ghoul: Be vicious.

His cruelty was even recognized within the Nexus. Within the Nexus, Timmy was free to go crazy, run wild, be cruel! No one is safe from the vicious Timmy the Cruel!

Pros:

-Greater chaser
-Good escape and initiation
-High mobility
-High damage output 

Cons:

-Easy to kill
-Cannot mount
-Can only self-heal in lanes

Role in Team:

Timmy is meant to be a dive-style assassin who excels in keeping on his target and utterly terrorizing them. With Timmy's Galoshes, he is able to keep up with any normal hero's walking speed to keep up his attack, building his hero trait Cruel Hand of Timmy. This makes anyone he is assaulting and unable to escape relatively quick in a bad situation fast, as he ends up becoming relentless.

In team fights, Timmy's objective should be to dive onto squishy assassins or supports with Ghoul Frenzy, such as Jaina, Lt. Morales, or Chromie. Should the target begin escaping, Latch On is good to stay on them for damage, but beware of using Latch On and being put in a bad situation. Taking the ult Spreading the Plague would be good for taking down heroes you have isolated.

If you find your team fighting more in lanes, or at objectives such as Infernal Shrines, Not Quite Dead Yet! would be the better ult to go, as eat minion you devour would heal Timmy due to Cannibalize. This should help keep Timmy alive as he continues to narrow in and completely harass the enemy's squishy heroes.

Skin Ideas

Death Squire Timmy: In order to serve the Scourge better as a terror of Stratholme, Timmy needed to become armored. After eating several adventurers who wandered near his view, he has gathered enough armor to (the best of his ability) protect himself. He now sports two dark Death Knight gauntlets, as well as a new (slightly rusted) chest plate. Even his lower jaw gets an upgrade, getting a steel lower trap, making it deadly for anyone caught in it.

Color Scheme:

1. Death Squire Timmy
2. Ebon Blade Death Squire Timmy
3. Stratholme Death Squire Timmy
4. Naxxramas Death Squire Timmy

Mechano-Ghoul Skin: 'We can rebuild him...we can make him harder...better...faster...stronger!' These words were spoken about Timmy-2000, as he was finally switched online! Instead of the ghoul-like shambling corpse, Timmy is now a hardwired, steel framed, robot (similar in style to Mecha-Dehaka and Mecha-Anub'arak)

Color Scheme:

1) Mechano-Ghoul Timmy
2) IC3-CROWN Mechano-Ghoul Timmy
3) SCAR-13T Mechano-Ghoul Timmy

Tim' the Reaper: Those who wander alone at night best beware...Tim' The Reaper stalks the streets, so you best hurry and shuffle yer feet...a reference off of Jack the Ripper, Timmy now gains a torn, brown overcoat unable to hide his claws and feet. While his words don't change, he gains a British-style accent. Finally to top off this dapper killer, he would have a dusty black tophat.

Color Scheme:

1) Tim' the Reaper
2) Bloodied Tim' the Reaper
3) White Tim' the Reaper

I remember Timmy from all the way back in Warcraft III. If there ever was a Ghoul who could join HOTS it would surely be Timmy the Cruel.
Looking at Timmis playstyle describtion i would like abilities like Corpse Explosion - dealing damage upon death and reducing his death timer/exp from killing Timmy. An ability like this or a talent around lvl 13/16/20 would be great (could even be a passive ult but you already have two).
I dont like Feast (killing allied Mercenaries - people would hate having Timmy on their team), Picky Eater (promote pve oriented playstyle for Timmy) and Gravestone (can backfire massivly and has 3 min Cooldown)
