In the "League of Legends" is full of different characters, suitable for performing a variety of roles. However, few of them can boast that they can play on almost any line. One of these heroes in League of Legends is Timo. The guide you are reading will be devoted specifically to this “little fur”, which, despite numerous nerfs and jokes, remains popular with many players even in season 6.
Specifications
Let's start with the very foundations on which any build is based - champion attributes and increments to them with each level. The most interesting thing is that there are people who, in spite of everything, use Timo as a forester and even a tank, but how much is it justified and profitable? Let's get a look.
- Health: 515 + 82 per level.
- Armor: 24.3 + 3.75 per level.
- Magic Resistance: 30.
- Attack: 49.54 + 3 with each level.
- Attack Speed: 0.69 + 3.38% for ups.
- HP regeneration: 5.74 + 0.65 with growth.
Thus, you can see that the character has a good attack speed and armor. At level 10, the hero, even without an artifact, achieves the necessary condition to “drag” the match as an “adk”.
Abilities
Now we’ll deal with the skill set to better understand what makes it possible to use it as a universal soldier.
- Passive skill: Disguise. If Timo stands still and does not attack anyone for 1.5 seconds, then he becomes invisible. In bushes, this happens even in motion. When masking is removed, its attack speed increases for a short time.
- Q ("kushka"): "Blinding dart." Deals magic damage to a specified enemy and causes it to miss with each auto attack.
- W ("pole"): "Fast run." Passively increases the speed of the character if he did not take damage from towers and heroes for five seconds. When activated, doubles the current speed bonus for 3 seconds.
- E ("eshka"): "Poisoned shot." Adds a passive bonus to auto attacks. They begin to inflict additional magic damage and poison the enemy.
- R (ulta): Poison trap. Timo accumulates poisonous mushrooms in his backpack (up to 3 pieces). When placed on the ground, they become invisible and explode if the enemy stepped on them, causing periodic magical damage, revealing the enemy and slowing him down greatly.
Even an inexperienced player, seeing all the champion’s skills, can come up with several different tactics by which you can play good matches in the League of Legends game. Timo, the guide you are reading on, plays excellently in the position of "topper" and forester, as well as adk.
Skills (top)
The top line is the most popular place to be found in Timo's LoL. A guide in this position is met regularly, but we will still make our contribution. Let's start by pumping skills. What do you need first of all?
Since you have to stand the line alone, it will not hurt to take such a skill that will help to finish off the minions - "Poisoned Shot". It will increase your damage and make it more likely to kill a creep. Also, if the enemy comes too close, you can scare him away and not give farm.
Then take the "cot". The dart deals good damage over a long distance. This will provide an opportunity to better harass the enemy. In addition, blinding can save your life with a gank from an enemy forester.
In the third turn, you can take the bonus to speed ("key"). It will come in handy for you to run from the fountain to the tower on-line. It is thanks to this skill that many Timo “tokers” cast non-standard spells. But more on that later.
As for pumping, first of all it is necessary to maximize the “jackpot”. Despite the fact that you took the dart in the second level, it remains your most powerful weapon in the initial stage of the game. Ult should be pumped as they appear and immediately plant approaches to the line with mushrooms in order to protect themselves from the enemy forester. However, remember that the response radius is very small, and the damage after the nerf leaves much to be desired.
Runes, spells and talents (top)
Despite the huge number of runes, their effective sets are very limited in LoL. Guide on Timo includes only two options for different positions and roles. If you play through the top, then you definitely need to swing through the magic damage and use the appropriate runes - magic penetration, armor, resistance and strength of skills.
But with spells the player will have to decide on his own. As a standard, “flash” and “teleportation” are taken to the top line to increase mobility on the map. But Timo has a good passive increase in speed, so teleportation is often replaced with “Ignition”. This allows with a great chance to kill the enemy on the line.
What else should guide Timo (season 6) say? Of course, these are talents. Despite the promises of Riot Games to completely rework their mechanics, this functionality remains unchanged. Let's start with the Ferocity branch.
- The first thing we take is "Witchcraft". It will increase the damage of all your skills, including a passive attack bonus.
- The next one is to take the “Feast” to restore health without leaving the line. Some players take the “Two-edged sword”, because they believe that the main weapon is mushrooms (ultimate) and Timo should not participate in battles (which means an increase in incoming damage is nothing).
- Next, we unequivocally choose "Congenital Talent".
- Next take the “Persecutor”. You are unlikely to succeed in killing each of the opponents at the very beginning of the game, but the increased damage to slowed enemies will make itself felt.
- Then we take “Sharp mind” no matter what tactics you are going to play. You didn’t forget that Timo’s auto-attacks also do magic damage.
- The last thing you should get is the “Touch of the Fire of Death”. First of all, because of the mushrooms on which your enemy will explode.
The remaining points can be distributed at your discretion, based on the style of the game. But we still strongly recommend turning your eyes to the Cunning skills branch.
- To finish minions on the line we take "Ferocity".
- Then the Assassin. Even if you are outside the batch, the exploding mushroom will do even more damage.
- "Ruthless" will help you better finish off opponents. However, Meditation is not bad, considering the manat cost of the ultimate skill.
- What to take last - "Dangerous game" or "Bandit"? On the one hand, a “game” will save your life many times in batches or with an unsuccessful gank of an enemy forester. But such mistakes can only be made by the players of the lower divisions. On the other hand, a “bandit” with continuous enemy harassment gives an additional influx of gold, which will allow you to purchase artifacts faster than others.
Assembly (top)
Continuing the guide to Timo, let's look at the items that he should carry in his inventory. As a starting purchase, both the Doran's Blade and the ring of the same name are well suited. In terms of attack and health, they are approximately equal, but the point is an additional bonus. If you prefer an aggressive game, then feel free to take the ring - it will restore your mana when killing minions, so you can regularly throw a dart at the enemy. If you are going to play from defense, it is better to use a blade with theft of life.
By the middle of the game, three items should be collected in your arsenal - the Rylai Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment, and Nashor's Tooth. The first item will give a little survivability, and most importantly, it will even more slow down opponents who have stepped on your mushrooms. "Torment" deals damage proportional to the health of the enemy and goes well with "mushrooms." Nashor’s Tooth is a major attack artifact that will increase your attack speed and add magic damage.
The remaining three slots can be filled according to the situation. Many players do not even take boots to increase speed because of a good passive skill. Instead, you can take the "Luden's Echo", which will also increase speed. The remaining items can be used for protection. The armor of Zhonya’s Clock, the magical resistance of the Scepter of Void, or the health of Hextech Protobelt, which also provides a jerk useful for escaping.
Skills (forest)
Jungle is another successful Timo habitat. The guide (forest) in this area will turn out much shorter than in the past case. The order of learning skills for a forester hamster changes slightly.
On the first level, take the Blinding Dart. So you take less damage and kill your first monster faster. Then start pumping passive skills to increase attack power and quickly move between lines.
Timo-the forester’s crown “counter” is “counter-jungling”. That is, you should in every possible way prevent your opponent from farming the forest. This is achieved due to the proper arrangement of mushrooms and theft of buffs.
Spells, Runes, and Talents (Forest)
In general, spells and talents are better to take typical for any other jangler specializing in auto-attacks. Or you can use the proposed layout for Timo-topper, replacing "Witchcraft" with "Rage". And instead of the Cunning branch use Resolve. Take health regeneration, increased movement speed and a bonus to hp from there. Runes can be used absolutely the same, or replace magic penetration with attack speed. It all depends entirely on your playing style.
Adk guide
We should also mention this role. Some players try to use Timo as a shooter on the bottom line, it is difficult to judge how bad this idea is. The hero has a number of positive qualities:
- Increased damage due to passive skill.
- Good base rate of fire.
- Acceleration, which allows you to catch / run in various situations.
- A dart that can blind an enemy ADK and prevent it from doing auto-attack damage.
However, there are also disadvantages.
- Timo deals mainly magic damage, which means that the team loses the lion's share of physical attack.
- Reduced firing range. A hamster can be killed before it reaches the enemy.
Thus, the guide to Timo-adk is only suitable for people who play as part of teams and are able to initially select the composition so as to level out shortcomings.
If you decide on this role, then you can safely use the build for the top line. An exception can only be the final talent for level 18. The Touch of Fire ... can be replaced by Battle Dust to increase the effectiveness of the auto attack.
Artifacts (adk)
As for the assembly of the hero, the guide to Timo will be different from most other ADCs. Be sure to take the already familiar Nashor's Tooth. A boot for attack speed will also be out of place, since you will be on the “active” line and there will hardly be time to use passivation. It would also be nice to collect Death of the Mind. The artifact not only gives damage and attack speed, but also lowers the resistance of the target. Already with these three items you will achieve a good AS. The remaining three places can be given to the already familiar artifacts - "Rilai", "Liandry" and "Protobelt".
Custom positions
On this guide to Timo could be finished. But some players, while continuing to develop their turbulent and perverse fantasy, are trying to put the champion in other positions. Doing this is highly discouraged.
One of Timo’s wrong positions is mid. A guide to make up for this role is a thankless task, since this hero is not fit for him. The main reason is the lack of "burst". In the central position, heroes with a strong "prokast" usually play, which means that the poor "hamster" will be taken from the prokast and even a blinding dart will not save. And in the late game, the lack of a good magician-caster will be a big problem for the team.
A guide to Timo-tank is also not to be found online. This is not to say that this role does not suit him well - a lot of slowdowns and blinding will greatly prevent the enemy from killing the team. So, if there are no other alternatives, then you can try this assembly, but if you have more adequate options, you should not assemble Timo in a tank build.
