Let me know when to feel outplayed by Predator Hecarim in the early/mid game

Running at me at Mach 5, not caring about any wards because by the time you see the mark on your head that he's uses predator, he's passing the ward and it's to late for you to react

Okay so flash

Alright I flashed

Predators CD is up before my flash is up again

Should I just sacrifice 30-40 CS in lane because I'm being zoned out by the imaginary Hec that might come at any second?

So why don't you deep ward against him? Sure, how many wards would you like me to place?

Secure scuttle with your jungle

That's a coin flip

I'm having so much fun

Just don't push your waves and run back alittle between last hits, hecarim is strong at getting to you in order to do something but he cant tower dive. (Doesn't have the damage or tank stats)

You cant prevent him from ganking you but you can do your best to mitigate your losses.

Get Armor and Bring slows. You heavily reduce Hecarim's feasibility if you take a team who can build around items like item 3025 or have on board slows.

Remember: Predator AND Hecarim's damage scales to his move speed. If you can get him slowed before he Devastating Charges (or during it before it hits you) You'll both massively reduce his passive Bonus AD from move speed AND his on first hit Predator damage Proc.

If you don't slow him, it's easy for him to one combo. If you do slow him, he hits extremely weak, and has used his kit, so is prone to a counterattack.

If you play this weakness well..... he'll begin wasting all his ults just trying to get away. You won't always kill him, but you can make him exceptionally worthless.

P.S. Hard CC can also expend the duration of E's Move speed bonus, so that by the time he can move again, he will be out of move speed bonus. Not as good as using a slow altogether, but good enough to escape the usefulness of his kit.
