Hecarim is damn broken as a laner.
Rampage RANGE: 350 COST: 20 / 23 / 26 / 29 / 32 MANA COOLDOWN: 4 Rampage ACTIVE: Hecarim cleaves nearby enemies, dealing physical damage (66% damage against minions and monsters). PHYSICAL DAMAGE: 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 / 200 (+ 60% bonus AD) If Hecarim damages at least one enemy unit with this attack, he gains a stack of Rampage for 8 seconds, reducing the base cooldown of this ability by 1 second. This effect can stack up to 2 times.
I'm trying really hard not to be frustrated right now so bare with me.
Alright so I played against a Hecarim twice in the top lane, the first time as Wukong and the second time as Fiora. It's really the second game I want to focus on so here goes my explanation as to why it's broken.
Every time I tried to farm he Q'd be behind minions and firstly took no minion aggro, free poke, 20 mana, and reduces the cd by 1 second. Then I try again and he just repeats it over and over but now he deals damage even faster because it's not on a 2 second cooldown and he has a crystalline flask which means no mana problems for him. As he levels it up it becomes ridiculous amounts of damage because 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 / 200 (+ 60% bonus AD) is a lot of damage on a 2 second cooldown. He zones me completely and ends up tower diving resulting in both of us dying. When he returns to lane he has Ninja Tabi's and and negates 10% of my auto attacks.
When I try to duel him he deals 130 Base damage at lvl 5 with 60% bonus dmg on a 2 second CD if he hits it twice on minions/champions. Now I'm not factoring anything but his Q because that's the most annoying part of his kit to play against. I mean no one can deal so much damage on a 2 second cooldown which costs 32 mana at max rank. I mean atleast Nasus has to farm and build CD and also his Q isn't AOE atleast. But if this guys get's CD it's close to 1 second and it's damn broken. I mean I know he needed a buff to his jungling but it's ridiculous for laning against. If you own Hecarim go and play him and see what I mean.
-- make sure you're taking Zyra mid and not support here. Be advised that Sejuani is about to become the most broken thing since Warwick unless the PBE changes.
that honestly has no business being played.
pretty much counters him hard for unpopular champs like these two.
