Tips Against Hecarim in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Caled says “Hecarim is a tough matchup in the early game due to his ability to sustain early and have a really healthy clear. Also, Hecarim can easily secure scuttle crabs with his Devastating Charge (E) pretty much making early game very rough for Kayn. Although you can take early trades against Hecarim for form, never commit to long duels as he will outheal you with Spirit of Dread (W) and Conqueror. Preferably want to go Rhaast into Hecarim as you do outscale him and offer more in teamfights LATE game. ”
colingogo says “He beats you early, but you both powerfarm well. Mid/Late you just w him when he charges and you can burst him pretty hard when he commits. Do not die to him early.”
Tinjus says “He has the potential to faceroll you, but you should be able to fight him easily once you get evolved Q. Just make sure to avoid as much damage as possible with Void Assault.”
Citric says “Hecarim is an annoying pick for Shyvana because he is much like Kayn. He clears fast and he ganks well. In this match up, you can not force ganks that are bad because he will counter jungle you very quickly. He also scales really hard so don't let the game go on too long. Focus on your objectives.”
Doubtfull says “You win this 1v1 in the early/mid game pretty hard. Pre 6 he has no way to get away from you. Find him, flash on him, and delete him. Post 6 you might try to time your ult to dodge his, but that is mostly a guessing game. ”
KhaZix Mains says “[4/10] He has the potential to face-roll you, but you should be able to fight him easily once you get evolved Q. Try to take advantage of him early-game with aggressive pathing and invades. Just make sure to avoid as much damage as possible with Void Assault. Be mindful of him snowballing lanes through early pressure. Go Q evolution for better dueling potential and focus your early game pathing around ganking/counter ganking. Also be sure to consider W evolve at level 11 to cripple his engage potential and save your backline from being dove. once he gets an item lead the matchup will be very hard to come back from post-trinity force.”
Doubtfull says “If the Hecarim takes phase rush its very difficult to kite him, he also has the damage to one shot you, and can dodge your ultimate with his ult. Once you hit runic echoes, you can one shot him with your combo if he isn't already too far ahead.”
Polarshift says “Personally I'm not struggling in this matchup but I'd say you have the upper hand in the early game. You want to invade his jungle if you have priority. You can choose to either affect the early game with Phase Rush or scale better with Fleet Footwork. If you can get a good countergank off as Graves you will probably snowball the game.”
Polarshift says “You win early duels if he doesn't have Ignite. He gets harder to fight later in the game because he might run conqueror and Ignite. If he doesn't run Ignite this should be an easy matchup. Keep your E for his dash or till he has 2 stacks on his Q for optimal efficiency. Don't keep your ultimate till you're extremely low because a good Hecarim will notice that you are keeping it and fear you with his ult to deal the finishing blow.”
Doubtfull says “This match up is pretty brutal for Fiddle. A good Hecarim will trample all over you at just about all points in the game. He can cancel your drain with his E and R. You can't fear him away like most of your match ups, as his E will still go through. If you're planning on one tricking fiddle I'd honestly just ban Hecarim every game, I consider this Fiddle's most difficult match up.”
uSgSello says “Hecarim will gank often because of his speed and early game jungle damage and clearin speed. Try to counter jungling as good as you can.
If you are able to countergank him it will be even more better than counterjungling.
Overall you should be able to win trades against until level 6. After level 6 try to dodge his ult with your rappel.”
KamiKZ says “You can easy kill heca on his 2nd buff when you are lvl 2 or 3 since he gets low on his first clear and most Hecarim players run ghost > flash on him. This is basicly a free kill for you as Kha. (I recommend evolving R first in this match up) ”
KamiKZ says “Haven´t played this match up much but from the few games I have played against Hecarim as Graves I feel like this match up is Graves favored. (Will be updated whenever I have played more against Hecarim as Graves) ”
ak521 says “He's a really good at ganking. He'll win early game hard. If he has predator, he'll win even harder. He'll win late game if he builds right, but begins to fall off if he runs Predator. You gotta all-in on him, hoping your Q will land. The good part is he doesn't deal much damage without taking much. He has a lot of health; but not a lot of armor/mr. To counter- make the game last as long as possible. He doesn't scale as well. Easier said than done, I'm telling you right now- enemy team will have a MASSIVE lead if Hec is good.”
nZk01 says “cheese him early on when he's clearing or is coming back into Jungle from a gank without full HP.
If he doesn't have conq or Ignite, you can 1v1 him with ease.”
Loul_60 says “Has a good and healthy clear, but lacks ability to 1v1 people. Watch out for his good ganks though. If he doesn't have E or hasn't charged it up much (just by moving about), you can probably take him on.”
Veralion says “Strong. Helicoper Q lets him stack Conqueror super fast and his lane pressure is very high. Don't even think about fighting him alone, this champion is just so insane. He should usually leave you alone and focus lanes. Play the objective game; he should be too busy trying to gank to worry about drake and herald. Attempting to countergank is probably inadviseable until 6. Look to take his camps while he's showing in lanes if possible. If he gets a lead be extremely cautious about going near river, since by the time you see him it will be too late if you are alone. Watch for his Trinity Force powerspike, it's nuts. ”
Ir.Defender says “If he is ahead, never think of fighting with him, also if Hecarim player use Ignite, he can 1v1 you, whilemean surprising him early with an invade always work.”
NixLychee says “Try to bait his charge and jump out of it using a ward hop, and then you can probably win the duel. Make sure not to get CC'd though, if you do, you're dead for sure.”
LambWolf says “Hecarim is quite strong pick currently. You can fight him early on if he doesn't have ghost or you are a bit ahead. Otherwise you should not fight him alone.”
PulseBeat_02 says “Hecarim is a very high mobility jungler. This means hitting your bindings will likely prove much harder. One advantage you have over him is that you are ranged. Block his knockup with your Spell Shield and then try to root him so he doesn't come back for you.”
Hidon1 says “He is the type of jungler that likes to full clear. This allows you to get your ganks of pretty much uncontested. If you do not get early leads on the map, he will run you and your team over, make sure you do not leave camps on the side you start on in first clear.”
Ejsner says “Conqueror suggested. Hecarim is a rough matchup aswell, just because he can chase you down and stick to you, which doesn't let you repeatedly leap to him and get extra fero + dmg. Once you leap on Hecarim, he can just E you, and W which slows you, and just chase you with Q, he can also just R and fear you and chase you down with it if he wants to.
Tough matchup aswell.”
RedNBlue says “Hecarim will knock you around and the later the game goes the more likely he is to win duels with you. Your best time to fight him is before he gets level 3 which is a high risk play as you will be giving up farm and hoping he doesn't get help.”
LukaBre123 says “He's not that much of a threat but he is a lot faster than Sejuani and you need to have a good map awareness to be able to countergank on time.”
JunglerBuilds says “Hecarim shouldn't be much trouble, since he's not in the best spot right now. His jungle clear is okay, he's generally a mediocre pick. What's good about him is how fast he gets. His passive allows him to build movespeed and tanky while still having damage, so watch out for those scary initiations.”
IMissedMyQ says “Cheese this Mother clucker. You can make him wish he never Queue'd up if you invade and constantly pressure him early. Don't let him get the upper hand. The second he gets a lead on you, the jungle is over. You lost. (but never give up because solo queue players are trash and they will always throw.)”
Dannala says “The rare occasion he lanes you should win generally from playing. When he ganks you can E just as he does his charged auto/ulti to land where he charged from and usually get away. If you get hit by his ult there is no survival.”
litecrunch says “This champion is really broken right now. You could beat him if he already used his w and e on a camp, but the amount of extra damage he gets from his passive, phase rush and ghost make him very stupidly strong. He can also gank way more then you and scale decently well while being healthy in the jungle. Personally I would just ban him, and if you don't then dont even fight him early and do your best to match his pressure.”
TheInkKingLoL says “Hecarim is similar to you with his mobility and damage, and he will have some lifesteal with runes. I recommend that if you aren't banning him you build Dead Man's Plate second item and Death's Dance Third in order to have a chance at winning fights against him.”
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says “Yes, Hecarim isn't a threat solely because you can invade his jungle with PTA Neeko and get kills off of him pre 6, which is when he becomes a threat. His R is the only thing that significantly counters you because your it can interrupt your CC. Make sure you watch for his team comp, because Neeko's main weakness is her early game.”
FREAKSTAR says “He can cheese some ganks early, possibly even take ignite. If your team survives the onslaught it should be an easy win.
He's not tanky enough to tank your damage, and he doesn't do enough damage to hard carry.”
DarkAuraLOL says “fair waveclear, fair early game, fair sustain in jungle. invade his red side, try to cheese him , if it possibly works he's doomed, also make sure you protect your side after cheesing , and maintain one level advantage and you'll be stronger, also once you get form you can actually one shot him .”
Tormentula says “Hecarim is strong, he can farm way better and can countergank pretty easily, however early on Elise can invade him especially since Hecarims usually don't take Flash and are pretty much dead if caught by Cocoon. ”
Goldenstinger says “Hecarim is too fast for our boy - this is a skill match up too. He can cancel you with his ult and his charge so avoid these and you can win. You have similar play style but he get can on the map quicker. Most hecs to do a 3 camp clear into gank so try and counter gank early. ”
G Spot God says “He is very fast, which lets him counter gank and follow you around the map. He stacks his conqueror as fast as you do so it is difficult to outduel him if he is ahead. Very beatable though.”
chevy the sloot says “Probably a major match up but I have only started playing against this guy recently after the new items and have been stomping him. Ask your team respect his OP ganks early and ward river and be mindful of his fast clears. At level 6 if you're even you can sit on an oblivion orb and duel/contest him with red smite.”
IMissedMyQ says “You have a great matchup vs hecarim. He does not have cc, nor does he run flash. This makes it very easy to land E and stick to him. Your ult is also perfect for when he tries to run away with E. The only time he can be a problem is when he gets a few kills early and you're not able to 1 v 1 him.”
Tailburner says “His Ultimate and E provide massive running away difficult. Also The fleeing from his Ultimate makes it harder to get out before your ult is up.”
RedNBlue says “Take full armor for this one as he will just spam q on you and get conqueror if you try to stop him from killing you. Otherwise you should be able to stop him if you can get distance.”
Aurelius2142 says “You win early, but he's going to get ahead by ganking - try to out manoeuvre him when you can. If you can't, focus objectives to try and force a 1v1 at level 6. As long as you can pre-emptively E his initial burst, you should be good to duel him with confidence - just watch out for his team!”
chevy the sloot says “Favorable match up for a good Lillia. You can definitely invade and bully this guy early. While also out scaling him. Oblivion orb early is nice for his crazy healing. You should be able to kite him to hell after his E is down.”
Karasmai says “Only reason he falls under hard is his early clear is as fast as yours he is very high tempo, with a slightly weaker teamfight but much better force so he can start fights easier and pressure the map thru ganks and objectives a lot smoother than Kayn. If you’re against Hecarim your best bet is going Rhaast and scaling with 3-4 items and 1v9ing a teamfight, if you do go blue try to keep vision of him and gank opposite of the map from him cause you will lose a counter gank.”
Rusitc1 says “Hecarim is a tough one, simply for the fact that you can't get away from this guy. If can go red Kayn and abuse him being a rather unworthy opponent, that's great, but he sucks to deal with on Blue Kayn. Watch out for his R, it will fear you for a while, which is very bad for us.
As both forms, don't fight him until you have form.
Bait his ult and use your smite r as blue Kayn as his peel is really good.”
manco1 says “Hecarim farms well, and ganks extraordinary well. You do not really have any room to outplay him, best bet is to power farm as much as you can and be opportunistic in your ganking waiting for late game where you have more burst potential. ”
Kayn Mains says “You can take early trades early on but don't commit to extended fights. Hecarim's Spirit of Dread (W) allows him to gain HP off damage he deals, ensuring him to win fights.
Once you reach the mid game take a peek at Hecarim's items. If he built Cinderhulk as his jungle item enchantment you are free to fight him for some easy passive orbs. Make sure to avoid him if he has the Warrior enchantment and/or Ignite unless you are ahead.
Late game against Hecarim is a piece of cake for Rhaast. With Cinderhulk he serves as an excellent Umbral Trespass (R) target for a free HP reset. Building Executioner's Calling is heavily recommended.”
Arfreezy says “Hecarim is very powerful in S11 thanks to changes to the jungle item which benefit his clear. He can farm just as fast as Graves, but with better ganking potential so you can quickly fall behind in this matchup. Path towards your lane priorities, stack your grit for first scuttle, and try to stay even in map pressure with the Hecarim. You can win the 1v1 provided he doesnt take ignite and conqueror. Play to scale in this matchup and watchout for his Mythic power spike which is a window where he can 1v1 you with the right setup.”
Whynotbefriends says “Hecarim can be unstoppable after he gets snowballing, the new items are crazy strong on him. Early fights are hard to win because of Conqueror and his Q cd going down, if you cant kill him in your initial jump in combo you will lose and he will take over the game.”
Unknown420 says “invade him as much as possible he is fairly squishy early game and by the time he gets his tank item u would be strong enough to kill him anyways of u played it right”
Maile says “Hecarim snowballs hard and becomes unkillable. Track his pathing and make sure you go even in this matchup. W evo is extremely good vs Hecarim so as long as you can go even or ahead in the early game, you will win out in the late game because Hecarim from behind is donkey levels of bad. ”
DOGEUWDOGEUW says “50/50 matchup. Make sure he doesn't get ahead in farm. Be careful because he deals a lot of damage with conq stacked. Take ignite and dont fall behind.”
Kindredgarten says “Easy to duel if he isn't fed and you can usually fight him 1v1 anyway. Vulnerable to invades as he usually doesn't take flash anyways. Ward rivers for your laners, he has super strong ganks. A good idea to ult before he can ult you to fear you.”
Karthus man says “Hecarim is a bit scary because he will just run at you and you can't do much. If you can, keep him away from you and try to get to late game and you might have a chance.”
Connweasel says “This is a skill matchup, I think whichever champion is able to pull ahead is the one that will take over the game. You should look to counter gank this champion. If he is the one that engages, then he will have used all of his movement abilities to get in, therefore not being able to get away from you. Hecarim normally takes ghost, so he can't flash from you, and if he uses his R as an escape tool, then your R can follow him to finish him off. ”
Kevalanium says “for the most part he is hard to deal with if he is ahead but try to counter him but charging into his e WITH YOUR Q your shield will absorb most of the E damage try to avoid his Q and R”
McSushi says “against him, run exhaust instead of ignite if you're not confident on shaco. also you can go lethal tempo or glacial augment instead of hail of blades. (yes, glacial augment on ad shaco)
unless the hecarim is skilled, he will just fall behind on farm and power.
if he is, just avoid fighting him, especially if he's not alone.”
KeyTheMonolith says “Just so long as you are into a good comp for going red kayn you should be fine just care for how hecarim can ult you out of a wall and e you causing your e to glitch when he hits you.”
CalicoCactus says “Almost seems like a better version of you early on, has great ganks and can take control of a game if you let him. Once you get some items under your belt you can start to win, just remind your laners to stay safe and keep those bushes warded.”
Ardent Deceiver says “He's busted right now, will destroy your boxes with Q, run you down and take your camps. Impossible to fight after he gets mythic.”
BlackBacardi says “Hecarim is similar to you with his mobility and damage, and he will have some lifesteal with runes. I recommend that if you aren't banning him you build Dead Man's Plate second item and Death's Dance Third in order to have a chance at winning fights against him.”
sonminh says “Very hard to fight him at every stage of the game. Going bruiser or AP control is not that bad. Play front to back if he's strong, forcing him to ult out of the fight is really good.”
White Cr0w says “Good early damage, dont 1v1 him.
The fact he don't have any real jump until level 6 makes him so predictable. Ward his jungle, clear his camps and if you can kill him when he is low on mana he will have a hard time trying to get back into game.”
Eagzey says “His kit just does well against our playstyle. Hecarim has good clear speed, good 1v1, and can impact the map as well as anyone. They can outgank and outfarm you. You can Q and R his E and R.”
SketchtheHunter says “Can be very frustrating if he gets ahead but struggles to duel you early on. Try to save your E for when he tries to use his own E to escape so you can yank him back toward you. Then just pop Blue Smite if you've got it and boom, free kill.”
SaltCat says “Little pony here is a tought match up, he beats you for most of the game, a good thing that you can do vs him is to use your charm then acitvate it before it fully goes off so you can get the slow, that really lowers hecarim effectiness”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Hecarim needs some time to scale so in the early game you can easily prevent him from popping of. All you have to do is keep vision on him and deny him easy ganks. If he needs to get his items by only farming he will take a very long time to get his damage up.”
FrostForest says “Even matchup however you are more useful mid game
He outdps you in a fight if you miss your combo.
Better for you to let him initiate on you before attacking back
Most Hecarims run Ghost/Ignite so they can run you down or beat you straight up with the added dps provided”
Gumipapucs says “You can invade and threathen him. You can 3 camp and try to intercept him in his full clear. Should not be a problem unless he gets ahead of you. If you get ahead, just play cocky and dont even let him leave the base. Obviously do not get collapsed on, and his Ult can be a threath to you if he has a teammate near.”
NiceTryVi says “Hecarim, while strong in the right hands, is not an extreme threat for Vi. His CC is on a long cooldown, so even if he manages to use it, you can zone him off your carries very easily and often kill him fairly quickly. If he gets caught, he is dead.”
Fresh Diamond says “Hecarim ganks are stronger and more impactful, and his Q AOE damage plus his W healing makes him strong in teamfights. However, he lacks single target DPS and sucks at dueling and taking objectives. Take advantage of this by invading and controlling neutral objectives.”
Minase says “Hecarim is pretty scary in SoloQ given how strong his ganks are and how strong he is in the early-mid game. Look to avoid him early on, scale and counter any ganks you can see coming. Typically speaking whoever dies first in this matchup will lose.”
cobraguides says “He usually wins early game depending on your teams rotations. Bring ignite if you want to win early into him, after he uses his E kite with your E and save your W”
Shaix222 says “With hecarim it will be difficult to stay after him initially... surely he can gankare much more easily than you and get a small advantage in the first half of the game... escape his rush with control with your Q will allow you to have an advantage over Hecarim.”
KingFershid says “If the one that's playing Heca is really good, don't try to fight him alone; go for the Tank build and try to don't give him Drakes. In the other hand if you see that who's playing heca is not really good try to steal as many jungle camps without getting caught; go full lethality and destroy him late game.”
Orfeass says “He destroyes you as Shaddow Assassin but if you are Rhast you can just W his E and from there it doesnt matter how bad you play the fight you will win.”
LoL destroyer says “Hecarim is very fast, making it difficult to catch him, however, your q can slow him down significantly and you can generally out sustain him in fights.”
BoyWonder00 says “He has an ult that makes him unstoppable so he can dodge your CC. He can also knock you out of his W. However, if you can CC him, he has a hard time getting away. (Q, W, then E or R fear, Q, W, then E)”
FalleN3 says “Who made this pony so mad !! He is a nightmare to deal with 1v1 and you will likely lose every fight with him early game unless your team comes to the rescue. Keep the jungle warded and care for him.”
FalleN3 says “Difficult champ to deal with and his 1v1 potential can be surprising. Be careful when deuling his as you don't want to give him any free kills. If he gets ahead of you, it will be hard to come back.”
Holessando says “This is pretty even and skill matchup.
You can lose and you can win, its about how you're gonna play. Hecarim has great mobility and is good when ganking. I wouldn't fight him, unless you have advantage or there's a fight on some lane.”
aiker95 says “Average level of threat. The problem for us in his AOE damage and jerk ("run") and ult. Just his "run" allows you to quickly navigate through the woods and gives the opportunity to make a fast counter-jungle.”
Rhoku says “Hecarim is very easy to beat in a 1v1 fight. But if he gets fed, he does get to a point where he just murders you AND your team at once. He is also far better in teamfights and can very easily engage fights when you are not with your team. He sucks early vs you though so you can still beat him down.”
metalhydra273 says “He goes in, you lock him down, he dies. Pretty simple. You might not always win the 1v1 so make sure you're ahead if you want to fight him. His plan is typically straightforward so cc him to death before he reaches your team or peel him off after he ults in. If he's attempting to steal a dragon or baron, you can attempt to ult him while he is ulting to match the cc he gives you, so he doesn't win the smite war or you can at least get hi killed in most circumstances.”
SkaterKidd says “Hecarim's Conqueror can make long fights unfavorable for Warwick since Warwick's Passive takes longer to kick in. Hecarim can ZOOM to the team back line. Hecarim is not much of Threat if they run Predator.”
AKScorched says “Hecarim is a nightmare for Fiddle, honsetly. He's basically unkillable and that CC destroys you. The only thing good about him is that he's not a popular pick, at least not anymore. You can't outrun him if he starts chasing you and you have no teammates so I recommend flashing over walls. You can't kill him in any part of the game alone. Your best bet is to hope your teammates don't feed him, or y'know, tell them not to.”
Xe0N says “He does not counterjungle a lot but he is a better champion overall. Get good vision and try to countergank him. Also if you don't die a lot in the early game you will probably outscale better.”
brSL7 says “Hecarim é um champ que vai dar muitos ganks early game e por isso vai acabar com o jogo rapidamente.
O Dr Mundo é muito fraco early game então dar caunter ganks nesse momento de jogo é difícil, Mid-Game a história é outra, você pode dar caunters ganks e até matar ele no x1. Tente segurar o jogo e acalmar seu time amigão boa sorte kkkk”
Xidorian says “He's a really good at ganking. He'll win early game hard. If he has predator, he'll win even harder. He'll win late game if he builds right, but begins to fall off if he runs Predator. You gotta all-in on him, hoping your Q will land. The good part is he doesn't deal much damage without taking much. He has a lot of health; but not a lot of armor/mr. To counter- make the game last as long as possible. He doesn't scale as well. Easier said than done, I'm telling you right now- enemy team will have a MASSIVE lead if Hec is good.”
gurubashi35 says “Hecarim's ganks are stronger and more impactful, and his Q AOE damage plus his W healing makes him strong in teamfights.
However, he lacks single target DPS and sucks at dueling you and taking objectives. Take advantage of this by invading early and controlling neutral objectives.”
ChaoticClockwork says “Hec is strong right now and counters shaco pretty well, if you care about your LP you should try to make plays across the map while he ganks/shows on wards.”
Coccaa says “Hecarim is a very powerful jungler, as he can powerfarm and gank lanes quickly. If he takes Conqueror, it gives him a ton of damage and healing too. To beat him, just farm your camps and get your items as quick as possible. Try to visualize where he is going to be and what lanes he will gank so you can effectively countergank.”
CinderTheSnake says “Hecarim is a combination of a lot of things. speed, CC, and tankiness. the only redeeming factor in the matchup is how hard he falls off late game.”
Agzer says “50:50 matchup.
If you make his full clear hard and keep pressuring him, you'll have a better chance to win.
Try to track him and counter gank a lot.”
ChaseMorePlz says “As long as you don't get ulted in a bad spot, you should be fine in most cases. If he gets ahead however he can prove to do a lot of damage to you and be a problem. ”
KaRMaX says “Better early, can surprise you with his burst and really annoying because of his dash (cancel meditate) and ultimate (fear).
Do not fight him 1v1 early game.
You can deal with him after guinsoo.”
ChaseMorePlz says “As long as you don't get ulted in a bad spot, you should be fine in most cases. If he gets ahead however he can prove to do a lot of damage to you and be a problem.”
Spection says “Dangerous after itemization. In the early game he is susceptible to an invade and can be killed pretty easily if you land everything. Come mid and late you will not be able to do much to him. Do not Q until he has ulted, because he will ignore it. ”
Udyr uber says “Se ele estiver de conquistador e incendiar, nem tente trocar com ele que você irá perder.
Tente focar nos objetivos ao invés de invadi-lo
Tabi+Navalha Sangrenta+Sterak”
chasemyman1 says “This pony has been destroying the rift recently and its a nightmare to go against him. He ususally runs conqueror so he has great sustain and can run you down. Try and get ahead early as this makes the matchup alot easier. Try to also rappel his ultima or use Zhonyas. You can try to use your cocoon on him as he charges his run to you but its easy for a good Hecarim player to dodge.”
ChaseMorePlz says “If he gets ahead, which he most likely will you will have a tough time fending of vs. him. Capitalize on where he is on the map so you can get objectives elsewhere. If he tends to be a threat to your laners be sure to catch him while he's diving them.”
Yitastics says “Dodge his damage with alpha, u pretty much cannot lose a 1v1 against him unless u time ur alpha wrong, taking ignite and counterjgling him is a good tactic to shutting him down for the game”
ChaseMorePlz says “When you group, don't clump up so he can't ult everyone at once. Picking exhaust champions and stuns will counter his ganks. The best thing you can do is farm well, avoid dying and rushing your ultimate so you can disengage when he ults. His ganks will most likely result in him coming out on top so just play smart and combo him with your team to burst him.”
FrickLillie says “If he wants to 1v1 you then he is 1v1ing you. you only have a chocie in this if you have flash and/or a nearby tower and teammates. it's hard to win this fight, but it's also hard to actually die so it's not super scary.”
RageAx says “Not too bad early game, if he is going even or winning late though you don't stand a chance. He has good damage and is tanky enough to survive your engage. Your mobility (in the jungle) is much higher thanks to your E, effectively nullifying his speed advantage if used correctly. Feel free to invade his blue and make farming hard for him.”
KillyOne says “Not often seen in lower elo brackets, but after recent buffs to Predator and Ghost, Hecarim is a good jungler again. His ganking potential is really good even before level 6, but dueling him shouldn't be too difficult unless he has more items than you.”
KillyOne says “Hecarim has recently received a few buffs which make him a decent jungler. He can be really difficult to deal with if he gets ahead because of his movement speed and damage. I consider Lillia to be stronger than hecarim in a lot of ways, maybe not lane ganking, but teamfighting is in Lillias favor with her damage and AOE ult.”
League Of Cursed says “This one depends. His only non-ult cc is his engage and disengage. Once he has ult though, he can and will kill you if he finds you. The trick with this, is just ult in after he dives. It will peel him off and more than likely kill him and whoever else followed him up most of the time.
”
MetaSolaray says “Hecarim's come in two flavors, ghost to run people down and ignite to win duel. Udyr can easily beat both but understand you'll want to engage after his E is down unless you have the raw damage to burst him down. Pre six this is a death sentence for hecarim as Udyr beats him in raw damage, counter gank him to get a lead.”
Dopamine_influx says “You're stronger early, so he's easy to snowball. Be in his face (mainly on early scuttles, but you can also go red blue gromp his red if he full clears from blue)”
Stiwy says “He has some reasonable damage and a good all-in at level 6.
If you stay near your tower it will be risky for him to run at you.
You can try to predict his dash with your E and if you succed, he takes a lot of damage but still, don't let your guard down becuse his ult can turn fights over.
This guy heals a lot so bramble vest helps.”
Xeldom says “Favorable match-up.
Hecarim has very weak early 1v1 until he finishes his trinity force. Use this time to contest scuttle crabs and counter gank.”
Jogress says “Another horse, huh?
I feel like in a fair 1x1 Lillia is stronger. But if Hecarim gets ahead - he can roll over you and kill you fast - and there is no way to outrun this beast initiation. Dead man's plate is a good counter - buy it earlier if he kills you”
AsparWild says “beware his E, though you can still easily root him since he isnt immune to that. however, make sure to root him after you R him, so that your R doesn't get wasted since he can easily run out.”
ZLOCO says “He's a really good at ganking. He'll win early game hard. If he has predator, he'll win even harder. He'll win late game if he builds right, but begins to fall off if he runs Predator. You gotta all-in on him, hoping your Q will land. The good part is he doesn't deal much damage without taking much. He has a lot of health; but not a lot of armor/mr. To counter- make the game last as long as possible. He doesn't scale as well. Easier said than done, I'm telling you right now- enemy team will have a MASSIVE lead if Hec is good.”
DarkArbalist613 says “Hecarim can easily run you down and kill you. His ult fear can keep you from ulting and his E can knock you out of your ult. Just try to avoid him until he focuses someone else, because if he is focusing you youll probably lose. If you find yourself in a 1v1 situation try to play around you ability to jump over walls to beat him.”
Dreadscythe95 says “Hecarim can outgank you and outfarm you at the same time. If he starts snowballing it will be hard for you to keep him in line. He is also broken this season.”
Comrade Eshgrim says “Largely depends on what he is building. AD Hecarim can be shut down fast by using the freeze ray from Glacial Augment through BotRK, and finish him while he can barely move. Watch out as he can knock you out of your ult with his charge.”
Snap0ner says “Good early damage, dont 1v1 him. The fact he don't have any real jump until level 6 makes him so predictable. Ward his jungle, clear his camps and if you can kill him when he is low on mana he will have a hard time trying to get back into game.”
nextonetwo says “hec will also invade you and kill you if you let him. post 6 you should be able to defend yourself a bit from him, but he can probably still one shot you with a full rotation and q's.”
nextonetwo says “hec will also invade you and kill you if you let him. post 6 you should be able to defend yourself a bit from him, but he can probably still one shot you with a full rotation and q's.”
QzKama says “The Solo Queue Horse.
You should do great against him but he can snowball hard, be careful of Ignite Hecarim and be smart with your invades.”
MegaAlphaDog says “You win early duels, but he will get harder to fight later in the game because he might run conqueror and Ignite. If he doesn't run Ignite this should be an easy matchup for you.”
GhostReaper87 says “He can invade you can make you completely useless if you fall behind. His E cancels your snowball and his ult cancels your e and your ult. He can be very slippery and cna take objectives. Try to match him by counter ganking or getting bot lane ahead since a fed or semi fed hecarim can 1 shot adc's or control mages with his E. You are more valuable mid to late game since you can q+smite drakes and baron's. Also you provide your team abit more cc considering hec inn't in the fight. If he is running predator his is going to be useless late game.”
DarkPit59 says “Hecarim possède un très bon nettoyage de jungle et, avec la rune prédateur, peut se montrer très fort au jeu du counter-gank. Il est nécessaire de jouer avec prudence lorsque l'ennemi le choisit.”
colajd100 says “When you train Lee sin so much you can counter his R. Place ward in other place of his R and click W to nim fast. When you are beginner Lee sin, ban nim or dodge when you have nim in enemy.”
Shattered770 says “This bad boi will run you down and fear you and make you sad. He's just super strong and has the ability to run away from you and engage out of no where, even without a team.”
WickedPoppet says “This one depends. His only non-ult cc is his engage and disengage. Once he has ult though, he can and will kill you if he finds you. The trick with this, is just ult in after he dives. It will peel him off and more than likely kill him and whoever else followed him up most of the time.”
Jhanthem says “Should be able to beat him, just out rotate him even if he moves faster with predator by reacting on the opposite side of the map if you have to.”
TrevorJayce says “Hecarim can be everywhere, which is most of the time your kryptonite while you gank. His movement speed while in his E ensures that even if it looks like a winning fight, he'll R out of fog of war and end your life. Granted, he can't 1v1 you, but that's not what a Hecarim is going to look to do. Handle with care.”
Fabosch is Love says “He has better early game and better gank possibility. Hecarim doesn't scale good, you'll be more useful in mid/late game than him.”
AsarWeth says “Be careful with this guy, you can counter his fear with you Spellshield, and you can also counter his knockback, this is a skill matchup, but dont let him invade you, this will be your doom.”
Nico449c says “Hecarim is one of the best junglers at the moment he will win against you by either invading you lvl 2 or just purely outgank you so your only chance is some good counterganks or a good invade but when you invade him at 3 you gotta hit your e to have a chance usually he will escape with little hp. Then you be able to freely take hes jungle.”
Ryttar says “Can cancel you with his E and R so don't try to 1V1 in general. He's far more mobile than you so try to know where he'll gank and be there to surprise him and his team.”
lheisse says “Hecarim is very fast when he activates his e. This can be a big problem as hitting him with q will become much harder. Try to block his knockup with an e then use q. Keep away from him since all his abilities are melee.”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Hecarim needs some time to scale so in the early game you can easily prevent him from popping of. All you have to do is keep vision on him and deny him easy ganks. If he needs to get his items by only farming he will take a very long time to get his damage up.”
Soulreaperjin says “He can be just straight up annoying when he runs with his E on you and escape with it since the cooldown on it is shorter than Shyvana's E in early game”
The Top Bear says “Nidalee, Winrate-wise, is the biggest counter to Hecarim. In the 1 v 1 you have to poke him down before jumping in. He has incredibly strong sustain damage, so you need to get the jump on him. I would definitely recommend invading and trying to shut him down early. ”
RaptorDre says “Weird matchup, either he dominates you or you dominate him. Usually ganks alot so try and counter gank or make your teammates ward a lot (help them out also with warding).”
WillowSprout says “I ban this bitch no matter what, no matter how hard I invade him pre 6 he will always find a way to fuck your team up when they know what they're doing...but he dashes too so it's a skill matchup.”
PokeBen6551 says “Pretty easy to kill since he Needs to be fast to deal Damage. If hes not running at you, you should be able to kill him rather easily.”
Quezel says “Hecarim is mostly a nuisance as his e and his ult make it very easy for him to escape or engage onto you even in the death realm however you both love all in extended trades and you do it better then he does once you get armor buy seekers and clobber him. Heavily respect him if he brings ignite and ghost like some hecarim players do as the 1v1 potential he gets is extremely lethal.”
0kruemlmonster says “Strong early game, but after Rageblade you can simply threeshot him. Don't waste your Ult on his fear. Try to dodge it (it's his Ult) or his E.”
DonaldBinBaggin says “Outfarms you, Outganks you, Outduels you. There isn't much you can do into this matchup, just hope that you can get ahead from ganking lanes.”
Simphoria says “His initial clear is weak and often likes to full clear. He spikes like us at 6, looking to gank when he can. Both provide AoE and damage so just be careful of his snowball. He will eventually out damage you but he'll never kill you quickly. ”
Mkcls says “Pain in the neck. Ult is cc, so you are dead. He is perma naruto running so he's gonna outrun you whenever possible. Might cheese early, so keep wards in the bushes!”
HackedAccountlol says “Has almost unavoidable ganks but you can ward his camps to prevent your laners from getting ganked. His E and movespeed makes his ganks hit hard.”
Fyurex says “Hecarim has a great engage tool just like you. The difference is that his fear can go down on your whole team. You have to be really careful if you want to time it correctly like with Sejuanis ult. You also can't duel him in early game because of his W heal, and his Q is almost constant.”
LFS_aXent says “Starting to get into the skill-based matchups. Hecarim, as well as Graves, is very mobile. His dashes and fears will fuck you up if he combos right. Luckily, you're fast, and ranged, so if you play your cards right, play him around fog of war and bushes, you should win.”
Mr. Nyahr says “Can be a tough matchup. Keep vision so that he has a harder time getting a full charge on you, and avoid his ult where possible. He has very, very high movement speed, so your Frozen Mallet/Rylai's will be crucial. He is not very potent before 6.”
Laverenz says “If Hecarim goes with Predator keystone, he can 1v1 you, if he's fed. His insane damage from his E can make you very low on health. ONLY fight him while inside altars under your control.”
Foodex2000 says “He can gank more than you so it can make some issues.He is easy to kill throughout all game.His R and movement speed can make some troubles in teamfights.”
Her0mars says “Has the potential to carry games and camp lanes easily if played right so watch out, ward, and gank even more. He is kind of cheese right now and has bleh, level clears early game. If you take his blue he will be oom after 2 camps or 1 gank.”
Yuki H. says “Since he is an AD champion, Graves has a decent amount of dueling potential, however, Hecarim is very mobile and is able to stick onto you which makes it relatively hard for you to kite him out. Just remember he does very high consistent damage, whereas you are burst damage oriented, so look for short trades with your abilities before backing off or calling for assistance.”
AaronStonne says “Ele simplesmente vai usar a runa Predador e vai te caçar pela jungle, se ele conseguir te dar o empurrão, pode aceitar que vc está morto”
Hamstertamer says “Pretty coinflip, can be either a nightmare or free food depending on the player. Group with your team and counter-initiate, he goes down quickly when focused.”
Chromuro says “Really sticky and a good dueler, both things that ivern hates. With him you'll need good shield and brushes timings to stop any engage he tries, you can't do anything vs him. Contest only if you have smite ready.”
yasinpg says “Pretty even matchup since both of you are looking for teamfights, but you should win after your locket since you will give your team a 400 hp shield. For early just look for counter ganks in mid/bot.”
4by3 says “Hecarim is a good jungler overall right now. He will outduel you, outfarm you and has better ganks with better burst and sustain damage. If you gain a lead you can easily kill him though, since he isn't very tanky early but you have to be ahead and get the surprise on him when he's low.”
Scantie says “Doesn't have the damage output to stop a strong Mord, but can do decent damage and possibly catch you off guard if hes ahead with a couple kills. Plenty of items to deal with his healing and tankiness too.”
KhaZix Mains says “[6/10] He has the potential to faceroll you, but you should be able to fight him easily once you get evolved Q. Try to take advantage of him earlygame with aggressive pathing and invades. Just make sure to avoid as much damage as possible with Void Assault. Be mindful of him snowballing lanes through early pressure. Go Q evolution for better dueling potential and focus your early game pathing around ganking/counter ganking otherwise once he gets an item lead the matchup will be very hard to come back from post-trinity force. Be sure to take his summoner spells into consideration, if he has ignite it will be much harder to fight early.”
MrPuggles says “ Hecarim is an interesting matchup. He shouldn't be able to beat Xin Zhao in a 1v1. However, he is an extremely good early ganker, making him a pain for your team. His teamfight potential is very strong if he brings Conqueror, and it's pretty hard for Xin Zhao to kill him due to Hecarim's extreme mobility. A good way to beat him is to avoid fighting him if possible, and to gank a ton. Counterganking is also very effective.”
Theleon says “Always ban this thing. One mistake and you are bound to get behind.
He will gank every lane, he will get every camp, he will come for you.”
Aoefa says “Hecarim can outgank you and outfarm you at the same time, you also don't want to fight him. This champ is broken right now, you can counterjungle and gank other lanes, but most likely you won't win a countergank unless you outplay with your cc.”
itskimjesus says “really easy, once you have form, youll snowball harder then him, he wil go warrior trforce, by that time you should have duskblade warrior and win 1v1”
Eqxilibrium says “Extremely mobile, will outheal you, do not engage in early skirmishes. Try to outgank him/countergank and stop him from snowballing.”
Yzroma says “Just peel your mates and he will be useless in teamfight. Also, you can alwyas 1v1 him if he's not fed to much. Hecarim is good for ganking but takes time to scale.
”
vanchovski2002 says “He can't 1v1 you early but his ganks are better..
Late game his teamfight are slightly better than you so make sure you make him useless !”
fetlol says “Hecarim is a somewhat tanky champion who can rush you when you least expect it. Be aware of a good Hecarim and ask your teammates for where they last see him... you don't want to see him kill you at your Red.”
Bombabo says “Hecarim has all of the tools he needs to get up in your face and heal enough so that he never dies to you. As long as he has some idea as to where you are, you most likely won't be able to get away from him and he can easily escape from you”
TheLord110 says “can be very hard to play against cuz he his massive speed advantage.
don't invade his jg unless he is dead or you are with your team
”
Killerbacca10 says “You do everything he does but your tankier,you can steal objectives and secure them,and your better at teamfighting and ganking. All he has on you is damage. However do not try to fight him if he invades you. He can snowball out of control”
MrBoronALT says “Hecarim can be hard to kill because of his movement speed, but he takes a while to get going and his early clear is pretty weak. If you can deny blue buff he'll have to recall more often as well. Just go after his team or kill him if he's low. He's also vulnerable while his Devastating Charge is on cooldown.
”
HAMMERSLAYER says “A very very active jungler, he will clear quite fast and then attemp to gank overextending lanes trying to secure easy kills that will let him and his team snowball the mid and late game, try to provide vision of him to your team and follow him around while not letting him pull off any successfull ganks.”
Jungle Kings Rage says “If He Goes For A Full Damage Build He Can Easily Pierce Through Your Meditate And Wreck You In A Flash. Just Build My On Hit With Titanic And Gage Build And You Will Demolish him. Extreme Threat If You Dont Though.”
xMalcho says “Try stealing his blue buff without it his jungle clear is bad af.And you can put w in the bush near the blue and just kill him with your ignite and w.”
lolWillieP says “Most hecarims take ghost so just flash kill level 3. Try to countergank him, but in season 9's spam gank meta hecarim is very hard to keep track of.”
MasutaKokoBot says “Hecarim's ability to dive your team and cc them can pose a mild threat, but you should be able to heal your team and have them keep you safe. Banshee's veil and Tenacity are good against him. You can also use your silence preemptively catching him in your snare when he engages.”
Jomickies says “Hecarim has fast clear speeds and can impact the map very easily. I recommend warding well and trying to keep track of him so your laners don't die to his ganks. This champion is very hard to deal with but you do outscale him. In addition after early he falls off very hard so as long as your team doesn't fall too far behind you are fine usually.”
xTheUnlimited says “No way you can 1v1 him. Try to countergank him and track him through his jungle so you can warn your allies before he ganks them. You can disable his E with your Q, you are more tanky than he is and your potential of ganking is a bit higher than his, because you have more CC. ”
Yuki Nagato says “Kill Hecarim on his 2nd buff since most of them run ghost instead of flash which gives them no escapes and he gets low while clearing.”
ApexZulu says “Hec can't really win early 1v1s, but he doesnt really need to be able to in order to impact the map more than you. Deep wards are important in order to protect laners from early ganks.”
LePlay says “His whole build revolves around building up speed with his E and dashing towards you with increased damage. Simple block it with your W and use your E-Q combo afterwards. The same goes for his R. The only real problem with him is his enormous speed while running away, which makes it nearly impossible to catch him once he´s running”
SubSequence says “Early game, he's easy to play around. You do more damage before Items are built than he does. If he goes Predator, you might have trouble, or at least your lanes. ”
OmnimX says “You won't catch this guy if he doesn't want you to, so there is no point in chasing him hoping for a kill. Additionally, his CC is dangerous for you, but he can only use it if you are spotted.”
Violzandre says “He only can run fast, how cute!!!
He can't kill you 1 vs 1 with my build, even in early you can easily delete him.
He will gank a lot more than you, the comunication with your team is essencial, try to use your wards to track him and sabotage his ganks.
Do a little counterjungle, it will be easy but be careful with his teammates.
Hecarim is strong only if he's with someone else doing extra dmg.”
Slykku says “He loses a lot of HP's in jungle, counterjungle his as much as possible! Long trades with him will end badly cause of his Q's cooldown. Thanks to your R you will be able to avoid his charge and R if pressed in the right moment.”
L3gislacerator says “Once you get enough armor, he won't scratch you or your teammates. Stun him to stop his charge, and buy IBG so you can slow him and lower his damage output.”
TricolorStar says “Hecarim is very fast, but he lacks the ability to reliable kill you early game. Be sure to keep tabs on him and let your team know where he is.”
OddOwl says “Your W can mitigate a lot of his burst from E and Predator. Watch out for his Q spam if he has the mana for it. If he is below half mana he shouldn't be too much of a problem.”
CalebsLegacy says “Like all of the other champs, if he is fed, he will be a huge problem. You can beat him starting from level 2 so I suggest going to blue/red and cheesing him that way. Care for the enemy team. ”
SiwanKara12 says “This can go both ways. You can counter him pretty hard with your E and W. If you miss your E, or waste your W too early, you will be screwed.”
Yi Guide says “Difficult champ to deal with and his 1v1 potential can be surprising. Be careful when deuling his as you don't want to give him any free kills. If he gets ahead of you, it will be hard to come back.”
Castcade says “Hecarim can be a problem a bit he has good clear and sustain and good ganking i recommend not to get a proximity of 5 meters near him kiting him is pretty easy but with his e you can get 1 shoted I recommend playing a little safe until you get a lead”
Aboviel says “You don't want to play Nocturne again Hecarim as he will gank all your lanes with nearly 100% success so the best way to win is counter jungling 24/7”
ChumblesProductions says “Never really had trouble with Hec, he can one shot if hes ahead but hes also weak clearing early. You should invade him just like eve.”
