played him for the first time yesterday. Started boots 3 potion blue and discovered his sustain was not the best. OK fair enough. Had no kills or assists early as it goes sometimes in the jungle. I then proceed to clear as fast as possible (my best option to maintain lvl and farm, while pressuring lanes) - get a philo > heart of gold > merc treads > cloth armour then plan on shyrelias - all defensive items so i should be able to take a bit of damage, right? WRONG i couldnt understand why i was soo squishy, had pretty poor damage & basically was forced to peel in fights very very early consequently not dishing out any damage and dieing a few times.

I had an average start (didnt have a good or bad one) but i feel like hecarim just didnt deliver. Just felt like a very squishy, mana hungy version of shyvanna that cant 1v1, with less burst (shy has autoattack followed by twin bite) and weak at killing dragon or a fail squishy skaner with no cc or sheild.

Dunno ill give him another run so i might be wrong - but it just feels like most of time (because he is soo squishy) you are forced to use his speed to run away rather than attack

comments / tips pls
