You clearly don't know how to play Hecarim properly if this is what you think. Spirit of Dread is a crazy powerful ability. He heals for a ton of health. This gives him tons of pseudo tankiness, and allows him to dive the enemy back line with his R and E, forcing the enemy carry to the front line of his team and dealing some pretty high damage in the process and setting the enemy carry up for death. His damage output is pretty good so long as you get Iceborn Gauntlet, which also adds to his utility. The reason why he has such an unstable winrate is that he is heavily dependent on his team capitalizing on him.
