People QQ about him because Hecarim is not a typical champion. When you play him, your objective should be teamfighting. All his skills are optimized for equal odds teamfighting: his Q damages all enemies nearby, his W makes sure he has a clear health advantage in case the team is losing, his E, when used well, is perfect for disrupting and spiliting up important members of the enemy team (usually the carries, but you can choose to E a tank or a support to make sure they don't help the teamfight), and his R is just godly. Imagine: Everyone 5vs5. The team structure is the meta: carry safely behind tank, being assisted by support, offtank and Ap carry mid position. Hecarim Ultis. The terrify creates an opening and makes the tank step back. He charges with E activated, making sure when he hits, the carry flies away. Easy kill. If your team is any good, the would have used this opening to kill the AP and now only 3 remaing. Heca pretends to run away, waiting for his cooldowns. He then turns back and E's the support again, isolating him. The others are easy prey.

Simply put, Hecarim is outclassed by some champs, but NO ONE does teamfights better than him. It's his thing.

Pro-tip: play top. He is not so good jungle and he needs gold and items to execute these moves. He can be pretty good against almost everyone. Just make sure to play passively and farm safe until lvl5. If you manage to at least hold your lane until teamfights begin, you can call it mission fucking acomplished.
