Pros and Cons
Pros
Amazing Mobility
Very good early ganks with knock back (based on positioning of the gank)
Decent jungle clearing time (less than 3:30)
Good Initiate for team fights late game (based on tankiness)
Hecarim is a pretty squishy jungler who, if ganks, cant tank a turret to secure a kill, which i find frustrating. For Example, I was playing a game of morgana vrs ezreal mid lane, morgana landed the stun on and i came in with my e. ezreal arcane shifted over the turret and if it wasnt for morgana's black shield i wouldve easily gave a kill.
Riot, its time to break out the buff pads and give hecarim some tankiness.
u need to remember this is a GUIDE it means its a guide on how to build this champ one way of 100000 so if u build this and an enemy team knows how to build and play better then u that will factor in expecialy if ur build dosent configur to those champs and how they are built cuz this build is OP lots of games but others ,ay be worst in world. u need to member that builds change based on ur and enemy team comp.
It's never obligatory to buy runes for every champ. It's simply to high to afford it, especially if you have a lot of champs you wanna buy. I would advice to get AD marks, flat armour seals, flat magic resist glyphs and flat AD quints + magic pen marks and AP quints. You can suite them in for almost any role and champ. It won't be perfect for everyone but it will be usefull on almost every champion.
Not just that, he doesn't really have that solid of a gank pre-6, and in terms of utility, he is a worse malphite.His advantage is the crazy damage he provides later on.
He has no innate tankiness, except his W, which is completely reliant on his teammates. However, he does do more damage than Malphite and with a Iceborne Gauntlet, can have more cc than a Malphite. He is all about lategame, and is item reliant.
On the other hand, Malphite essentially gets free stats from his passive and his W, so he already has some 'artificial gold' from the stats provided by his abilities and needs less items to function. His initiation is also more direct (goves them less time to react) and his E single handedly destroys ADC's.
TL;DR: Both are good initiators, but Malphite is a better Hecarim because hes tankier, gets more free stats and needs less gold to work.
Find it quite easy to clear jungle if I just get the first blue and give up the rest, just remeber to not use W and E to clear, and relia on your Q to do the jump for you. And add the Spirit Stone into the mix, it get even easier to manage mana early game to have enough to clear and gank.

Posted 5/4/2013 3:06:11 PMOne of the reasons he might not be popular in professional play is because he's reliant on the blue buff to clear.
