Hecarim Jungle guide

Hecarim jungle converts Move Speed into damage: Warpath (passive) grants Attack Damage from bonus Move Speed, Rampage (Q) cleaves nearby enemies and shortens its own cooldown on a hit, Devastating Charge (E) ramps Move Speed and knocks back whatever its empowered attack lands on, and Onslaught of Shadows (R) charges forward before ending in a fear-inducing shockwave.

The build

Rune page: Stormraider's Surge, Nimbus Cloak, Celerity, and Waterwalking (Sorcery), with Legend: Haste and Triumph (Precision). Summoners: Ghost and Smite. Skill order opens and maxes Rampage (Q) first, with Spirit of Dread (W) second. Starter: Gustwalker Hatchling, into Ionian Boots of Lucidity. Core build: Spear of Shojin, Black Cleaver, Death's Dance, with Endless Hunger, Voltaic Cyclosword, and Maw of Malmortius as later options.

Ability mechanics

Rampage (Q) cleaves nearby enemies, and hitting at least one increases its damage and lowers its own cooldown. Devastating Charge (E) builds increasing Move Speed and lets Hecarim move through units, and his next attack knocks back the target for bonus physical damage based on distance traveled. Spirit of Dread (W) grants Armor and Magic Resist and deals magic damage to nearby enemies while healing him for a share of the damage they take.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Sylas, Jarvan IV, Lee Sin, Nocturne, Graves. Best matchups: Naafiri, Kayn, Viego.
