Riot took away his damage potential since the seasonal change. Increasin everyone's base speed has totally made him less efficient in takin advantage of his innate. His betr played defensively now. Finally, most of his builds are now revolving around either his roles, or one of his skills. So building auto damage items like Sunfire on him makes him deal damage and gain bits of HP back when using his W. Combined with SV, u gain quite a good amount of HP back.

His like Skarner in terms of playstyle. The difference is that Hecarim is betr for the overall team fights and can initiate. Skarner is betr for duelling and incapacitating key targets only, not meant to initiate. Finally, Skarner is more damage oriented, Hecarim is based on Takin damage.
