His Q is likely to have a large AoE and it's a spell, which makes it usable in different situations at its core. Such as: Being blinded, not having vision of your target, when your AS is slowed, when you have spell vamp as from a support's wota, when you have a rylai, and for my next trick, when you want to farm.

It's not 'only be helpful for AA gaps', as a spell alone, it has much more uses than just adding damage.

As for getting 265 AD, and I'm not even counting if his base AD is over 100 at level 18, there's several sources Hecarim would be interested in:

Youmuu's +30 AD

Maw +55-95 AD

Innate +25~40 AD

Aegis and masteries ~15 AD

Baron buff +40 AD

Let's just add all of these up. 30+55+25+15+40+100=265 exactly. Wow, that's not even the high guess. Is that an AD carry? Doesn't sound like it.

Let's see: Merc treads 1.2k, maw 3.3k, youmuu's 2.7k, Aegis 2k = 9.2 gold. Yeah, that's a pretty squishy melee, but he'd work well with a wriggle's thrown in there too.
