i dont know what the fuck you guys are talking about. Hecarim mey be a LITTLE UP (Rampage is pitiful against minions and the stacks arent that helpful), but he does NOT suck. i´ve been playing him a lot lately and he absolutely rapes in the right hands. he will win every fight for his team if you let him, he is meant to ult the team, then go after the squishies and big damage dealers and unless their team is fed, his W wont let him die. also, he is not meant to be a full-on tank, playing him as such is extremely boring and that´s why you´re dealing no damage. i go full offense tree with him and some points in defense for health and resists, typical DPS runes with Armor and MR (either arpen or movspeed quints) and for items i start with boots, then build them into Greaves and get Wriggles and Hexdrinker for the bonus resistances, lifesteal and AD. after that get Sunfire Cape for the health and the passive which works great with Spirit Of Dread (you´ll start farming like a motherfucker) TriForce and the next item depends on what you need. i usually get more MR as i only have Hexdrinker and i dont upgrade to Maw Of Malmortius till later (or you can just upgrade it first), but if the team isnt hurting me that much, i get a Bloodthirster or something like that for max rape. with this build i usually end with 5-20 kills, less than 5 deaths and a shitload of assists. btw, dont rely on his passive bonus speed attack boost, the small bonus isn´t really worth it. Your quints and the TriForce should be enough so dont get Phantom Dancer or anything like that, you would just be wasting money and an inventory slot on something that´s not meant for his playstyle.
