How does everyone feel about Hecarim and his first clear in the Jungle?.. I get a brain aneurysm.

I literally want to strangle whoever nerfed recently. He can't even do a full clear of the damn jungle. Is there some special op runepage/mastery setup I don't know about? Like it's making me mad. Do I go gromp, blue, then red? Please tell me what to do with my life. Everything I do does not improve his first clear. I've tried different runes such as 15 ad, 12 armor pen with 4.5% ms, 15% attack speed with 4.5% ms... no difference. Every other jungler can clear the jungle with no problem. But with I feel like I am attempting mission impossible to have more than 200hp with atleast 100 mana after clearing blue side.

I actually stopped jungling entirely as Hecarim was my favourite jungler and I simply can't jungle with him anymore. It is bad.

I think the best method is leash smite gromp > wolves > smite blue > smite red > raptors > krugs. If you want to try it in a custom take ghost to use as a proxy for getting a leash on gromp? You may need to throw a scuttle in there to get healing in order to survive the clear.

you gotta get the korean rune page if you like playing hecarim, dont play him jungle. take him top or mid, or even support if you're a dangerous fellow.

First off, if you plan on just clearing jungle fast, don't take armor pen, it doesn't help in the jungle at all.

Second, not every champion is meant to be able to full clear a jungle in the early levels, that's a common way to gate junglers who get really strong with little gold, Hecarim is like this probably because of how much damage he can do with just tri-force into tank items, if there's nothing him slowing him from destroying everybody with 1 item he becomes really unbalanced.

I start blue, rush lvl 3, gank, and always get first blood.

It's almost impossible to escape from a Hec gank, especially when you have ghost.
