I think alot of people overlook this fact or just don't acept the fact that he is actually one of the worst duelist (comparable to other fighters) in the game at almost every point in the game. It's down to his kit really, his E has pratically one use and that's chasing people down and has no use outside of that, accompanied with a tremendous cooldown and wind-up time for maximum effect. And then there is his W, it's power is around team-fights. It may seem really strong and all but it really isn'tttt...1v1 duels, its more comparable to Olafs or Lee sins W which of course also provide side-effects with the abilities(e.g. gives him attack damage equivalent to a percentage of his health). Where is his W lasts only 4 seconds comparable to olafs W which lasts 6 seconds and lee sins W which gives a shield and lasts 5 seconds. Lets not forget the 20 second cooldown at rank 1.

Then there is his Q which decent I have to admit, you could count as an additional auto-attack when fully stacked accompanied with max cdr. But of course you really won't be taking advantage of the skill like in a team-fight because it is aoe.

2 more things to look at are his Ultimate and passive= Passive pratically useless outside of chasing people and his E which are completely useless in 1v1 engagements. His Ultimate,  is an AOE  initiation built FOR team-fights and doesn't really offer much outside of a short CC and small damage boost in 1v1 skirmishes.

It is true he is incredibly bad at 1v1 fights, his entire kit is built around team-fighs which he is meant to excel at...(previously nerfed : He misses any sought of steroids in his kit(attack speed), I don't know what to say but that's my interpretation of Hecarims kit.
