OP here.

To the second comment, there was obviously a problem with his W. I noticed I would win my games too easily with Hecarim (While he is my most played champion and only recently gained popularity, this is still fishy) and he has one of the highest win-rates. Clearly his best ability was quite problematic. And if you haven't noticed, the cooldown does get lowered the more you level it.

To the third comment, I consider gapclosers to be different from speed buffs. The main flaw to speed buffs is that you can still be crowd controlled fairly easily. Why do you think Udyr lost his viability in the League of Flash? Hecarim's E has an enormous cooldown, especially considering how easily countered it is with any kind of slow. Most Hecarims will want to build up speed for damage, so it's not like you won't have time to react to him. Try taking Lulu as support and watch Hecarim cry in the laning phase. As for his ultimate, yes, it's technically a gap closer. But it's an ultimate with a very long cooldown, you can't exactly use it every time you want to get close to someone.
