Is hecarim meant to do the damage that he does. Like he legit oneshots the adc with just + and . As well as this, how do i play against him besides just surrender lol.

triforce is a very expensive damage item that is really good at killing adcs.

hecarim also scales with move speed.. he gets damage by going fast

If there is a hecarim he is going to do things to your adc, especially if he gets triforce too fast

adcs can build defense, its not going to kill you. You can sell it later if he falls off but don't be silly and prideful and refuse to get any

damage items tend to be way too compulsory on glass cannons, if you sunk gold into a defensive item, the opponent ADC will still build another offensive items, giving the enemy team more DPS when the teamfight breaks out. (Part of the reason why I'm discontent with playing Glass cannon carries.)

Simply put it, the ADC is absolutely reliant on their teammates to defend them, as well as a large vision coverage to spot and react to such an attack ASAP.

if adcs must get damage instead of defense then why does nearly every adc start with a hybrid defense and damage item like item 1055 instead of the superior item 1036

You can get defense as an adc,

That's more to say that glass cannons are more finicky about the defenses they can build. (Doran's blade won't cut it in the long run.)

Your best defensive items as an ADC, are likely going to be phantom dancer for more dueling power, or extra sustain through life steal items. And a lot of those items arn't going to help you if you get jumped by a fast moving Assassin or diver.

Also, you lose way too much in sunk gold, to build an item which would would plan on selling later. So it's not really a good plan to build defense if it's not going to be part of your final build. At best, I might be able to Justify Sterak's gage or Maw, but I really wouldn't build a purely defensive item.

if the problem is hecarim then phantom dancer will come far too late.

why not just go with item 1028 .. that's it. Don't build it into anything right away. That's 400 gold. If you die then hecarim plus his laners get like 300-500 gold starting out and you lose gold. With this small amount you should be able to survive a bit more burst and counterattack
