Not really, he IS strong in his ability to chase down people, but thats where I find it ends. Devastating charge is a spell thats got too high a cooldown to be used as his sole ability to keep up. He doesn't have a consistant CC outside of his ult which is only 1 second, so he relies on speed to keep up with people and keep hacking at them, but even pausing to autoattack WILL slow you down.

I compare him to the likes of Warwick, Udyr, Xin Zhao and Shyvana. These are people who have weak or small amounts of CCs and little jumping ability and rely on running after the enemy after their small jump/cc is thrown out. The problem is, the moment I catch up to a guy with devastating charge, I'm not allowed to smack him or I lose all my movespeed, whilst Shyvana and Udyr mantain their velocity and will continue to pound your face in. In some ways, if you take his ult as a stronger Alpha strike, Hecarim is like a Master Yi, but Yi is the God of damage whilst Hecarim doesn't seem to supply that great amount of damage to warrant having to choose between keeping up or hitting and falling behind.
