How to beat Hecarim

Common role: Jungle

A fast jungle diver who charges in, knocks you back, and fears your whole team.

What makes Hecarim dangerous

Hecarim builds movement speed to run you down, his E rampage knocks you back on impact, and his ultimate charges through the team, fearing everyone hit and making them flee. He heals off his Q and dives the backline with terrifying speed, snowballing off ganks.

How to play against Hecarim

• 1Ward and watch for his speed-up — a fast Hecarim engage is his whole gank. Slows and roots cut his momentum.
• 2Respect his ult fear — it charges through your team and makes them flee. Spread out and don't line up in front of it.
• 3Grievous Wounds cuts his Q healing, and hard CC stops his momentum-based dives.
• 4His E knockback needs a run-up — the closer you are, the weaker it is. Deny his speed and he does little.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Momentum-reliant — slows and roots gut him.
• ✓Healing cut by Grievous Wounds.
• ✓Ult fear is a dodgeable line.
• ✓Squishy-ish for a diver; hard CC punishes him.
