Autowin Hecarim?

I'm a big fan of watching high elo streams. I usually see Hecarim, the tank assassin, just autowin games. Personally, I've never had issues with Hecarim in low elo. Is he just OP, or what?

High elo players utilize him far better than lower elo players do. His ganks are super strong because of how fast he can sprint through your lane and displace you further from your tower, it's completely busted when utilized well, but it's not a complete free win.

Triforce into full tank and he does a crazy amount of damage.

I played Hecarim for a spell before they nerfed him. Tank builds are far less powerful now. Before his recent damage nerfs you could build Cinderhulk/Triforce into tank and practically one shot squishies. His Cinderhulk build has been gutted now. You can still try it but you do zero damage. Now you have to go Warrior/Triforce into tank and it still does less damage than prenerf Cinderhulk/Triforce. He is still crazy fuckin strong but not broken like he was before the damage nerfs.

Except nobody in challenger does this. They buy their starting jungle item, then bum rush triforce, then complete cinderhulk, and full tank. Once those two items and tier two boots are completed, Hecarim becomes a tank assassin dealing absurd amounts of damage, while being unkillable.

They're challenger players, they are highly skilled which is kinda my point. It takes skill now to play Cinderhulk Hecarim because his damage is far less than before.

O.o, i just picked him randomly today as we needed a tank with some power as well, picked the horseman back up and my fucking god is he good in some situations. got me my promos to gold so he is definitely good at least. I consider him a better Olaf mechanically, pop summoner 6 and e for insane burst, jump on someone or run past and knock target back and ult back through to keep them there. But still have very nice tank with item 1401 and item 3742 , never got farther than boots and item 3078 added before enemy ff or win, but i was able to get away with a cheese item 3142 in the first one, but don't recommend.
