The main of my friend was Hecarium, now his main is Yi xD anyways, he told me about the runes he uses and some of the items, I think it is not quite the same as yours here, maybe I will show him this guide and see if it grows on him because it is so well-done.

Really enjoying how well put together this guide is and how much information is laid out in a way that's still easy to read. Jungling is (imo) the most difficult role to really master, and I really appreciate it when guides go the extra mile like this. Thank you!

Great build and guide. I play heca few time in draft and one time in aram (Predator + full lethality coz enemies team is full of squishy ) :D

Not bad, helped me get to silver 1 :)

Fast and Furious) Usually in the end when I look at the damage from the runes I do not really understand why all choose a rune conqeror, such as electro cute or haile of blades more proficient. Conqueror not always triggered the fight often its ends before 3 seconds)

Hey @Maintained, first of all – great guide! I already read it last year when I started to play Hecarim, and now roughly 150 games on him later - I became a Hecarim main.

I have a few questions I would like to ask you about the proposed item build though: You suggest to get Sterak’s Gage before getting Spirit Visage or Dead Mans Plate. I am not completely sure why? Hecarim has a lot of healing with his W + Conquerer. Through the healing, his “effective health” is much higher than his actual health. In my opinion, he benefits from the early Armor or Magic Resist far more than from additional health. He takes less damage, but heals for the same amount than before. Therefore he can stay longer in fights than with just more health (see also Health/Armor Ratio, where the optimal ratio of armor and health is calculated mathematically). What is your opinion on that? (PS: My Standard build path is: Trinity, Cinderhulk, Tabis/Mercurys, Armor/ MR Item, Sterak's Gage, Another Armor/MR item)

Also I have a second question: I am often playing against a fed and super beefy Garen lately. And as I am more often than not the frontline of my team, I fight toe to toe against the tanks. Though I feel like with my standard build, I have no impact against tanks at all (and my ADC is resistant to buy Armor Pen..). Would you recommend me to get Mortal Reminder against such healing/heavy armor tanks? I feel like it is not really fitting into Hecarims kit, but the grievous wounds and the armor penetration are nice.

Would really appreciate if I get an answer from you personally. Keep up the good work! :) Cheers!

is Predator on Hecarim still relevant?

Hey, appreciate the guide. I'm an average player at best, and this guide helped me get really good with Hecarim (I got 3 S grades in the last 10 games).

Basically, I was wondering which item can replace one of Dead Man's Plate and Spirit Visage to give you more AD. I usually go: Stalker's Blade: Warrior > Ninja Tabi/Mercury's > Trinity Force > Dead Man's Plate, Spirit Visage, Sterak's Gage (last 3 in varying order). When I get really fed which often happens I want to finish faster and need more AD, sometimes I take Death's Dance over Spirit Visage but that's about it. Would a Youmuu's be better? Or any other offensive item instead.

Again, great guide. Hope you answer.

I never left a comment here, I think I have to correct that :thonking:

Well, even if I don't personally play hecarim, I can recognize a good guide when I see one. It's particularly detailed and the amount of informations about both hecarim (and everything surrounding him) and the jungle role in general is astounding; the ganking and objectives chapters are particularly useful for those who aren't the best when it comes to jungling (like me :^) )
A great guide that I would recommend to anyone

(little thing: you should do a quick check in the runes chapter, the spacing is a bit wonky, sometimes double return, sometimes one and one time is missing (near celerity))

i just created this account to say thanks for the guide its amazing.. ive gone from bronze 3 to silver 2 by using your guide cant thanks you enough keep up the great content!!!

wow

This is a great guide. There is a lot of depth to what you wrote. I can't imagine how long it took you to make this build. I feel like I'm already better hecarim player by just reading it. Thums up and continue the good work
