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.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Hecarim's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  ウォーパス

  増加移動速度の一定割合と同量だけ攻撃力が増加する。

  Strong: movement speed converts into bonus damage — a fast engage that runs you down. Weak: slows and roots gut his momentum and his whole gank.

• Q
  ランページ

  周囲の敵を斬りつけて物理ダメージを与える。1体以上の敵にダメージを与えた場合、それ以降に行う「ランページ」のダメージが増加して、クールダウンが短縮される。

  物理防御と魔法防御を獲得する。また、周囲にいる敵に魔法ダメージを与えて、それらの敵が受けたあらゆるダメージの一定割合を体力として回復する。

• E
  チャージ

  移動速度が短時間増加し、ユニットを通り抜けられるようになる。さらに次の通常攻撃に対象をノックバックする効果と、スキル発動後の移動距離に応じた追加物理ダメージが付与される。

• R
  スペクターズ・オンスロート

  亡霊の騎士たちを召喚し、指定地点まで突撃して直線上の敵ユニットに魔法ダメージを与える。ヘカリムは到着と同時に衝撃波を放ち、付近の敵を恐怖に陥れて逃走させる。

  Strong: charges through your team, fearing everyone hit and scattering them. Weak: a dodgeable line — spread out and don't line up in front of it.
