Hi, this is my first larger guide here and i would like to show you better way to play hecarim.
first of all: summoner spells - i saw many leaple who played hecarim with flash and i must say that it is the worst thing u can do. Your ultimate works as flash so you dont need it but what ghost gives you and flash doesent is attack damage. Because of your passive u get around 15 ad which is really usefull in earlygame. Smite isn't necessary because of high spam on q but is usefull for high sustain.

The most important fact about this build is that you must have enemy jungler, who will get harrased from you. At start you will go at your blue buff and request smiteless pull! this is really important else you wouldnt kill it fast enough for scumbag activity. Once you killed blue... boom lvl 2 so get w and hurry your *** up to enemy red(doesent work on red starting champions) place ward so it is on bush next to red and sees on red, than u hurry up and kill enemy golems, watch out so monions won't see you and when enemy comes for the mighty red you just smite it, fast click ctrl+e because you have instantly 3rd lvl and than u just use ghost and **** that poor bastard up.
T]han you may proceed swaggering in his jungle and u basically lose his progress so he must go top ro afk to get experiences.
