Something needs to be done about Hecarim top.

It grieves me to say this, because for the last two seasons, Hecarim has been my main jungler. Even before the buffs last summer, Hecarim is a fun get in, get out skirmish ganker. But his top lane strategy completely disregards his very identity.

He's the only champion in league who can get away with rushing tier 2 boots in lane, charging right into you at your back line, and still being able to out trade and out push. He's the only champion in lane who can take teleport Ignite and not have any consequence for doing so after level 3. His speed to damage scaling buff was absurd, and it's demonstrated when a hecarim can rush Ninja Tabi, home guards, teleport bot lane, ram rod our carry with one E bump and ignite for the kill.

He needs substantial nerfs to his top lane. And those nerfs would probably involve reverting some of the buffs he got (that he didn't need imo, last summer).

Nerf his health gain off minions, his speed to damage ratio, the fact that his E does a lot of single target damage for essentially an engage/disengage, his cool downs I don't care.

I want to play Hecarim Jungle again, and I don't want to suffer him top lane.
