Hecarim ganks have no counterplay

Use wards

Actually, I think Hecarim has one of the slower ganking patterns coming out of the jungle pool compared to picks like Lee, Elise, Diana, Shaco...

...heck, I think the only junglers that can't get on you faster than him are Graves and Kindred, who just provides raw DPS on pre-existing gank setup. If you can't respond to Hecarim ganks, you can't really respond in general. Sounds to me like everyone is right in needing to play more around wards and identifying your weak side. You just got crushed by a powerful party pony player.

Do you have to shitpost every time you lose a match?

The answer is yes, yes you do.

Use better placed wards

Be mindful of timing, know when to expect a gank, get better at warding, flash the E, learn to freeze farm, make a character selection that doesn't put you as a low risk gank.

boom. 6 suggestions on how to beat a hecarim.

ok using deep wards since if you see him in the bush right next to your lane it's too late [slayer-jinx-wink]

use your brain

Anything that can slow or root or stun

If you let Hecarim get close enough to you, so that he can charge you before you pull off any cc, blame your lack of wards and vision.

I'm sorry but Warding in the problem. The only way Warding is not the problem is if he ganks you from behind your turret. His entire ganking kit is running in a straight line. There are currently dozens of champions as bot and support that shut Hecarim down. and more then likely more.
