Hecarim needs some love
Riot the etheral pony seriously needs some love! I love the idea behind him, I love his kit, but I see a few problems with him
Q: The idea behind it is great, its awesome, the power behind it can be amazing, but theres two issues here
- The time you have the passive CD up is so small 1 mistake and its gone, its barely enough to move between 2 jungle camps, and for something that starts out so slow but is supposed to be so destructive this has to change. Buff it so the duration is longer. Because its supposed to be great for multiple opponents but when team fights are shorter then the time it takes to get 2 stacks you really get tons of wasted potential that is nearly impossible to capitalize on, you are much better off hoping the enemy ganks you at your jungle camps. Or if you just had it where his Q would gain stacks based on the amount of enemies he hit maxing at two stacks as it is now that would be a great option too!
- The range on his Q, as it stands you choose between spamming Q or auto attacks, (tangent rant) but when we look at riven she gets both also lets look at the fact shes able to cancel animations to get both of those off faster making her one of the fastest burst mages in the game yet shes a swordswoman.... (rant end) that Q needs some more range, you cant auto and then Q the scuttlecrab >.> thats just messed up, by giving his Q more range he will have more team fight presence
TL:DR for section 1: More accessability on that Q pasive More range on the Q (im pretty sure it has worse range then his auto)
His W is awesome :D
His E: For being a champion who is supposed to be the epitome of mobility the E is lack luster, there are several champions in the game who cover just as much ground as hecarims E early game for a fraction of the CD, their abiliities have just as much if not much more utility then his E but dont suffer from the abysmal CD times hecarim suffers from, in the end at lv 5 it is still is left as one of the highest CD moves in the game. Either buff the movement speed on it or buff the CD to where it can compete with rammus's powerball. (man the duration of 3 seconds is abysmal too!)
I know you are going through the champions right now and updating them, but I feel like just a small buff to the ethereal pony of doom would be nice :D
TL:DR Hecarim just need some small buffs no need for a major rework of the champion, just help the pony out!
