He is a good jungler, but his sustain is atrocious for his initial clear because his W damage caps for minions so he can get countered pretty easily. His abilities also have fairly long CDs (except for his Q - obviously). He can also get kited, but not as easily as other champs because of his ultimate.

That being said, he actually is borderline competitively viable right now. His ganks are awesome - his E allows him to blow past wards very quickly making his ganks very difficult to see coming. Also, his W is one of the most broken abilities in the game (it's one of those "god-mode engaged"-type abilties), as long as it is up you can. I personally dislike his Q (mainly due to its limited range), but others think that it is a pretty good source of sustained damage for Hec. His ultimate is amazing, the damage on it is decent but the gap-closing range is absolutely bonkers and the AoE fear is great for displacement.

Honestly, if his initial jungle sustain/clear were a little more reliable I think he would be VERY strong. Still great for soloQ though :P
