Hecarim is sleeper OP right now, and nothing is being done about it.

Predator + Trinity + Hecarim's E = You're absolutely fucking dead, with zero counterplay since he's zooming in at 500 mph.

My main complaint is that even using a spellshield doesn't stop it. Noct's and Sivir's spellshields do NOTHING against his E, except cancel the displace. You still take the full 2400 damage on a targeted ability that you can't even flash out of, like you can with Fizz's q. There is no skill required when playing Hecarim. You build one shot and right click the enemy adc. If they die, you win. If not, you lose. It's like old Fiora, but much less difficult needing far less items to pull off and way safer and reliable.

Well of course the spellshield doesn't stop an auto attack, it's a SPELL shield

Heca has always been like that , but somehow people think he is weak , Heca is one of the reasons why I stopped playing most of immobile mages in mid lane

You don't even build oneshot, you rush cinderhulk and still oneshot

Once upon a time hecarim was META and his counter were well known. Basically, he's very weak to invades so stuff like lee sin and others champions that can invade effectively and kill him in his jungle early or countergank. You can still use hard cc to control him later in the game : Sejuani, Elise, Fiddle, Vi, Sejuani among others. Anything that can stop his E.

I wouldn't call him OP unless lane phase extends long enough for him to get items and ganks lanes as Hecarim needs some items to be really effective. Hope this can help but if you're a laner, I've got to say that you've no control over that because it's most likely a jungle matchup.

So, the Trash Boards have found another champ to cry about?

I wonder which one will be next week, my bet is on Ekko.

I died to a Hecarin once too because I didn’t ward or watch map. Can I join the Hec OP train too?

Hecarim has always been gated by his sustain in the Jungle - something that isn't an issue with the current iteration of Hunter's Talisman.

Ever hear the story of the running horse and the big bad hungry Warwick?

I never seem to have trouble vs Hecarim, but I blame a lot of that on me being Kat and waiting for him to dash up and auto me and then I E away so the displacement takes me far enough away from both him and the enemy that it'd be too risky for him to try to finish me off. If he doesn't get kills early I think you're pretty safe vs him. Lucky for me(when Hecarim is around anyways), junglers like to gank mid and think they can get some early cheese.

True. But Heca still needs a team to win (can't do that solo). Last Heca i played with had a score of 20 - 6 at the end of the game - but top lane was 0 - 11 and support 0 - 13. He lost.

now, i agree that hec is absolutely disgusting, but picking poppy into him works real well, you stop his e before the damage goes off with her w

Please no. He arum is actually quite balanced, once he dashed to you, he’s kinda stuck there to cc. If your entire team is there, u can cc the crap outta him. If you don’t have cc, that’s on you.
