I think Hecarim is very underrated, if he is snowballing he is one of the absolute best junglers to carry solo queue with. With the new meta the teamfighting phase starts a lot earlier which is actually what hec wants. He can afford to build a lot of damage in early mid game if he is getting feed, It's mostly due to his ridiculous basestats and a well timed W. The key component in all this is, you guessed it building a lot of damage items! If you buy damage items you can dive the backline and instagibb the squishy targets with little to no counterplay, and then proceed to wreak havoc in the frontline. Once ahead as Hecarim it's pretty easy to get even further ahead by forcing early teamfights at objectives.

If things are not going so well and you don't get feed? well no worries you can always proceed to build tanky and you will still be very useful.
