How do you play around a Hecarim with Predator?

I'm a support main. And I'm not sure how to deal with a Predator Hecarim who dives the ADC.

I put wards in a bunch of places and get advanced warning that he's coming so we position a few people between the ADC and Hecarim.

I get a Knight's Vow and a Mikaels Crucible (for that fear).

I shoot CC at him when he gets in my range. I also dump my kit on the ADC if it isn't CCing the Hecarim. Also, I've tried saving my CC until after his ult is down.

I make sure our team is in a wide open area and not the tight jungle spaces when we start fights with Hecarim nearby.

He just ults in and becomes CC immune (his ult can't be stopped by CC and they often buy Mercurial Scimitar) and kills the ADC anyway. There's nothing we can do. CC doesn't work. Damage reduction and CC removal don't work. Wards don't work. Intelligent positioning doesn't work. And this is with the uber protection supports like Lulu and Janna. It's much much worse when I play a sustain support like Sona or a pick support to pick their squishes like Leona or Blitzcrank.

The only thing left I can think of is telling the ADC to buy and sell stopwatches or buy a Zhonyas Hourglass. But there have to be real ways.

I've had some fun with predator hecarim, and here are my comments (as a silver player): -Don't let the pony get ahead. those first few ganks are crucial; if he gets a kill or two you are gonna have a rough time -CC is king. I know you said he can't be cc'ed by ult, but try anyway. Use kench to eat ur adc if you can, otherwise get them to invest in a GA or constant stopwatches (does that work?) -sacrifices have to be made. predator pony is a single target nuke. If he gets ahead, he will kill someone. You can either give up on the adc, and hope that your midlaner can carry, or try and bait the pony into killing you instead. If possible, bait him into a big group of minions - when he's going that fast, it is possible that he'll misclick, or click on the tank by accident. See if you can circlejerk him before he hits the adc.

Otherwise I got nothing.

I’m a Taric main so it’s not that big a deal for me since I can shield and heal through most anything. I can only say get Locket (until the change comes through, then good luck) and redemption to try and make your adc as imune to Damage as possible.

Deep wards in both river and tri bush, near red buff.

back off, if he tower dives alone cc and kill him. if you are talking about 3v2 then it's going to go bad no matter who the jung is
