If you gonna play Ranked Hecarim and want to play seriously, the following build is for you:

Boots of Swiftness, Iceborn Gauntlet, Spirit Visage, Sunfire Cape, Spirit of the Ancient Golem, and I usually wrap up with a Guardian Angel, though this last item may change depending on the situation. I also get Homeguard 90% of the times.

The result will be a very tanky bruiser with sustained damage and great control over the teamfight, making 80% of your teamfights (and victories) your team's. I don't know why the heck someone would build attack speed on hecarim. I mean what's the reason? Your skills plus the sunfire PLUS the gauntlet will give you good early burst and then sustained damage. Thing is, you're not an adc, you don't outburst, you OUTSUSTAIN the enemy, much like swain in that aspect. You will be initiating. You will be diving their whole team to land your R and then push the ADC / assasin / mage into your team. You will be the frst focus. You need to survive. Feeding is not an option in ranked. Hope this helps out.
