Did you know that AD Hecarim assassinates as well as Akali?

I didn't until my last game. There I was, dominating the game at 11/1, just about ready to starting carrying us to victory, THEN OMG ONE SHOT out of nowhere. Over and over again. It didn't matter if my team was there, it didn't matter if I used my net and flash combined, he just pressed RQ and I died, many many times. He had 8 kills himself the first time, so it was "fair" in that Akali would be just as mobile and one shotty if she had 8 kills.

Learned something new today. Luckily I'll probably never have to deal with that again. Gotta wonder why no one plays him like that though.

almost every champion in the entire game with fullbuild can oneshot a squishy without defense items.

i mean think about it. a marskman usually doesnt build defense until maybe the very last item (out of your own free will, remember that) so why wouldnt you get oneshotted? like, you have maybe around 2K hp later on and i think aside from some supports like soraka and i cant think of anyone else, everyone in the game who has full build full damage can do 2000 hp in one second easy. even braum and nami can do that no problem.

now ask yourself this: why are a malzahar, a thresh and a shen not able to peel off a hecarim off of you? if shen ults you and thresh lanterns+boxes you, im pretty sure you wont die instantly all while if you survive with some hp, hecarim will get flayed/taunted/hooked/malz-ulted/90calibernetted and gets oneshotted himself by your crit.

also ask yourself why your flash + heal + net cant save you from him even tho he had no flash himself. actually, if you flash his ult and then net him, there is no way he can reach you. impossible. so i must say, at least 90% of this oneshotting wasnt done by him but rather by yourself.

last but not least, if he can oneshot you, why cant shaco oneshot jinx?

there is reasons you dont build champions who kill someone and then 100% die themselves, because you make the game effectively 4on4 which doesnt help your team. this hecarims build, you can say, lost him the game.

Fun fact about his ult, it is both unstoppable and a higher range than net and flash combined (by about 125 range, so he'll also be able to get off a Q).

Does that address that post adequately?

it adresses your skill adequately. so this hecarim got into melee range on you without you or your team reacting?

usually he has to use his ult to reach you, which means you can flash it. even sideways if need be

Never worked. It always landed and applied the damage. I was never in a position to flash sideways/over a wall though.

well if you take zero defensive measures virtually every champion can oneshot you. seriously, try full ad shen. pretty good damage.

Hecarim can do crazy damage, however after he's used his R he is fairly easy to kite. He'll get a kill or two using it, but if you want someone to go in, get kills, and get out there are far more reliable options who also happen to have lower cooldowns.

His team had a Lux. . . yeah, I can see why he did so well in teamfights.
