Could somone give clarity on the Hecarim nerf?

Why is his unit collision passive being taken away while and get to keep it? It makes sense on all three thematically. He is a specter..A ghost like horse-man, centaur thing. I think this is only hurting his top lane, does Riot really not want him in the top lane that badly? Sure no one picks because he can ignore unit collision as some Ritoer said, but still it's part of his identity I feel. And it looks like the nerf is going through.

And in the mean time gets a nice juicy health regen buff as if she REALLY needed it. Oh well.

Any thoughts and insights?

It's specifically targeted at top lane Hec, who just sits in the minion wave and spins to win

Not really, his mana costs are so high if he spams q and there are a lot of toplane bruisers that out class him till he has trinity. Darius, garen, gnar, renekton and more.

So I am not sure why they would target that part of him instead of maybe lower the base dmg on his q. The scaling is already really good I think the base just needs to be tuned down a bit.

Thank you for that constructive piece there. Really adds to the topic.

Riven was sitting on something like a ~43% winrate so probably not the best comparison.

Yea I suppose, but doesn't she still have a pretty decent win rate with experienced players? I mean the skill cap of that champ is basically exploiting a bug... That being said its super hard to do. But yea I think she's a lot like yasuo in the sense that their win rates don't tell the full story of those champs at all.
