Playing against Hecarim
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Hecarim is very dependent on movement speed — slows are devastating against him.
2
His E (charge) can be stopped by hard CC — a stun or knockup during his charge stops him dead.
3
He's relatively squishy if he doesn't build tanky — burst him before he drains with his W.
4
Ward deep in his jungle: Hecarim wants to charge from fog of war, vision nullifies his ganks.
