Hecarim the Shadow of War
Hecarim is a spectral fusion of man and beast, cursed to ride down the souls of the living for all eternity. When the Blessed Isles fell into shadow, this proud knight was obliterated by the destructive energies of the Ruination, along with all his cavalry and their mounts. Now, whenever the Black Mist reaches out across Runeterra, he leads their devastating charge, reveling in the slaughter and crushing the foe beneath his armored hooves.

MetaBot Tips

- Hecarim is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
- Hecarim has a high rate of healing compared to other champions. They may be good at exchanging hit trades in lane or before teamfights since they can recover damage taken very well.
- Hecarim has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
- Hecarim has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
- Hecarim has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.
