Like i dont want to sound like a bronze noob, but i honestly dont see a lot of counterplay. Ive asked on boards before and nobody gave me an example of his counterplay so :^)

he is a snow ball type of champ who gets free ad from ms so getting items that grant ms and damage are double dipping for him. however he typically has a high build cost and if he gets behind he typically dont do much damage. playing champs with hard CCs or displacements, disengages and summoner 3 really negate his damage. if he isnt moving fast he dont get bonus ad

|Okay but he can go ap, ad, or tank. I dont see how thats okay. So in a sense his build cost varies,but regardless hsi damage is always silly ridiculous

So what you are saying is exhaust is pretty much his only counter? :C

any thing that can lower his speed, stuns, roots, slows etc. champs with disengage or that can alter terrain are helpful cuz he cant go throught it or is trapped by it

do you remember the summoner 12 meta with home guard boots ? hec could tp from fountain with home guard passive and his passive giving him so much free AD into a fight and 1 vs 5 that was broken..

Hecarim I don't think is super strong at the moment, he is just hyper mobile and most high mobility champions have an advantage in this meta. He can get a lane to snowball early, which is why he is banned a lot even though since his Q nerfs his win rate has dropped.

He is a champion that is deceptively tanky with damage, but after his initial burst he doesn't deal that much damage. The thing is if he picks a bad fight he can easily get away, which makes him a pretty low risk jungler in comparison to others.

He scales pretty poorly though, and is mostly a mid game champion. He actually is pretty similar to Shaco in some regards with a great early game but a terrible late game. He is just a body sponge by the late game, and if he gets all the kills from ganks and builds damage he will be less useful as the game goes.
