level q-e-w buy triforce then go full tank item 3078 item 3742 item 3065 item 3111 item 1413 item 3026 or something along those lines. movespeed quints, armor yellows, mr blues, lethality reds 12/0/18 with CoC ghost smite

hecarim is really simple to play, the most important thing is positioning so you get good knockbacks with E.

Level 7 Hec on my main and level 6 here on lowbie acct. You need to be very active in ganking early on to get your levels and income up since his first few clears arent the greatest, and you need to cash in on ganks to pay for that expensive tri force rush. He's pretty crap at invading or defending from invades as well so you really need to be active in lanes to gank.

With the jungle nerfs you need to get item 3706 or item 3715 on first back along with basic boots (more speed = more damage, faster ganks and faster roaming) and a control ward if you can afford them. This will set you up for your healthy second clear and round 2 ganks with champ smite.

The highest priority are the triforce components item 3057 or item 3044 but no longer doable. Sheen if you want more burst, phage for more speed and tankiness. Stinger dead last by far then finish tri force. You'll be squishy up to this point so you really need to focus on teamfights and ganks still, cant duel that well vs some of the other meta junglers who can burst and CC you.

Mid game start tanking up. Finish boots and jungle cinderhulk then item 3742 or item 3143 vs AD or item 3065 vs AP.

Last slot is flex for whatever the comp needs. I like damage and tanky hybrid items like item 3053 item 3022 but another defensive item also works.

Always get item 2138 elixir over damage ones. Your bigger size actually matters with your ability radius to cover a larger area, and CC is your worst enemy so the tenacity is huge

Early game ganking really determines how successful you'll be. If you dont open triforce first you dont do enough damage to really be a threat. If it takes you too long to get the triforce and cant tank up by mid game then you'll be destroyed in teamfights. I determine my strength based on triforce timing. If its 12:00 or less and you have triforce you're really strong and can fight mostly anyone. If you get it past 16:00 you're slow on it and need to be careful from being behind

Combo tips: -Always use your Q at the end of your E charge as you're pushing people back or during ult since your damage is increased from moving so much faster. -Teamfights you can activate E to move fast, R into the entire enemy comp to do AoE damage and CC them, then use the already active charge onto a carry to push them back towards your team. Should be a lot of CC time for that carry to die while eating your full combo and team should just need a few tags to drop him if not already dead -Dont use W going in on the fight for more damage. Use it after your opener to heal up from allies damaging the enemies and after you've taken a few hits

No, I like the same old heca-carry build from season 3 to now I play. It also depends do you like tank or damage more, helping your team tank or damage tank. Heca is very diverse and can fit in almost all comps, especially since he himself can raise his own Atk. he is normal to carry game all by yourself with. Heca-Carry item 3009 item 3153 item 3071 item 3814 item 3078 item 3512 item 2140 summoner 11 summoner 6 Heca-Tank item 3065 item 3025 item 3742 Heca-Friendly-Tank item 3022 item 2138 Each build Kinda serves it's on in game purpose and has switchable staple items, but Cleaver and Zz'rot portal are your strongest items on hecarim.

Cleaver and Zz'rot portal are your strongest items on hecarim

I've never seen him build either. you also don't have a jungle item for some reason. And you're not building trinity force in two of these builds and you're not building tank boots in either tank build swifties aren't bad on hecarim, they're just not for a tanky build.

RangoTangoGankoMar 11, 20171 votes

Yeah but swiftness are still good, keeps your dmg up for being tanky while not caring about slows to much. So that tackles 2 questions. And jgl item is sold, you start warrior, but in honesty, cinder hulk is the only jg item that does well late game, but it falls of in damage so just sell. All jg items fall off at 40 min, but ill sell boot's sometimes at 40 and then jg item at 50. Forgot to add, Zz'rot Cleaver are strong af, if you never have built these sorry your missing out on Shredding armor, Push power, and Free MS and AD for attacking and walking around turrets and Zz'rot portals you have MS. So it's a great AD build on Heca while staying in High Armor and MR while gaing AD, Health and MS giving you more AD.

DynikusMar 11, 20171 votes

It's just a bad build. It might work in bronze to some degree, but that doesn't mean a more standard build wouldn't work better. Why on earth would you ever start warrior on hecarim? I'm really not missing out on anything. I'll continue to build triforce into tank and be useful in games.

RangoTangoGankoMar 13, 20171 votes

Okay, but I'll still be useful in my games even though the build works.

Don't get BC AND Tri

RangoTangoGankoMar 11, 20171 votes

I don't know why you wouldn't and if you don't like change it, it's my heca build.

DynikusMar 13, 20172 votes

they share a unique passive from item 3044

RangoTangoGankoMar 16, 20171 votes

No way, But item 3078 +5% MS, and item 3071 reduces armor by 30% and Hecarim can sure stack up cleaver fast. Tri offers, the sheen, but it still does not mean you can't mix things, if it bothers you that much get lethality items. item 3134 , MS OOC, and AD, and Armor Pen. Why not? item 3512 If you are some one tat argues buying Zz'rot, then you also fail to see Tank Hecarim can build this, gain armor, MR and 20% MS combined with a item 3742 You got yourself an op combo with a tri or cleaver.

Look up what Pants are dragon does for runes and masteries. Rush triforce, go skirmishers cinderhulk, and then go for whatever tank stats take priority in the current situation. Use your ult to dive the backline and do not forget to activate w. Your q will do a lot of damage so long as you keep using it. Your E interacts well with your ult to shove people around, more specifically their backline getting shoved forward.
