Runes

Domination & Sorcery

Electrocute

Predator

Dark Harvest

Hail of Blades

Well is the best one here because for it not only provides a speed boost but due to his passive he gains a massive bonus of AD which means he can easily catch/gank someone and assasinate him even without the help of his team. So that is when comes into play in a very effective way . You should really take this into consideration and do what is best at - gank as much as possible and try to feed your carries and even yourself :).

Cheap Shot

Taste of Blood

Sudden Impact

is legit the perfect mastery for .It works insanely well with his kit as he can constantly proc it with his and making him the perfect assasin/killer of the enemy team's carries . If you like to play aggresively and counter jungle a lot this mastery will be a carry for you.

Zombie Ward

Ghost Poro

Eyeball Collection

is pretty good right now - will give you an extra AD permanently on takedowns and even increases with ward kills which makes it a solid choice. The other two masteries are both good options but this kind of depends on you as a player and your play style. If you care more about vision you can choose as I feel is better than but if you care more about clearing faster and killing people , counterjungling or playing aggresive in general than is the thing for you.

Ravenous Hunter

Ingenious Hunter

Relentless Hunter

Ultimate Hunter

Okay guys I will suggest two options here . Both are super viable. You can go for as I feel is a little bit better cos abuse one of the jungler's biggest strenghts - his map presence . The bonus out of combat movement speed is super helpful as you can gank more often and get to objectives even faster . That guys is absolutely insane for ganking and teamplay . The second option would be because it will reduce the Cooldown of active items such as your or (if you decide to go for it which btw is really good option if you are ahead) by a decent amount which again helps super much with ganking and catching people off guard.

Sorcery

Celerity

Waterwalking

is honestly the best thing you can get on right now because you stack so many movement speed items on him that the 8% bonus movement speed on all of them (,,) with be huge and will really make a difference.Not to mention that the more bonus movement speed you have the more Attack damage you get due to which makes this master your best option . is also a solid choice because nowadays Skuttle has become a thing to fight for because it provides plenty of extra gold and vision so the bonus movement speed and damage from are sure to help you win that fight. But not just that it is also great for securing objectives faster and improves the success of your ganks.

Abilities

PASSIVE
ABILITY

Warpath (Passive):
gains 15% − 30% (based on level) of his bonus Movement speed icon movement speed as bonus attack damage.

Well not much to explain here really guys. Just movement speed is op on you as it boost your AD so use that Predator wisely cos in combination with your Devastating Charge you can get up too a 100+ AD late game.

Rampage (Q):
Active: cleaves nearby enemies, dealing physical damage, reduced to 66.6% against minions.

Passive: If Hecarim damages at least one enemy with Rampage, its base Cooldown reduction icon cooldown on subsequent casts are reduced by 1 for 8 seconds, stacking up to twice.
Usage: This is your main damage source always start with it and max it first otherwise your jungle clear would suck. Also spam it as much and as often as you can inbetween autos just so you always have the 2 stacks for a reduced cd which btw makes an insane difference. Take in mind that it does aoe damage.

Spirit of Dread (W):
Explanation: deals 80/120/160/200/240 (+80% Ability Power) magic damage over 4 seconds to all nearby enemies. Hecarim is healed for 30% of the damage these enemies take from any source.Hecarim cannot heal more than 90/120/150/180/210 Health from minions or monsters.

Usage:This ability is what actually makes Hecarim such a good jungler as it provides him with a very good sustain and you can even solo objectives like Drake and Herald because of it. The healing is not great in the early game but it is really worth it in the late game especially if you build Spirit Visage.

Devastating Charge (E):
Explanation: gains increasing Movement Speed and can move through units for 4 seconds. His next attack knocks the target back dealing 45/80/115/150/185 (+50% bonus Attack Damage) to 90/160/230/300/370 (+100% bonus Attack Damage) physical damage based on how far Hecarim has traveled during (knockback distance also scales).Devastating Charge's remaining duration pauses during Onslaught of Shadows.

Usage: This is you main ability for ganking.Always start charging it after you have activated your Predator.Keep in mind that you will knock enemies back when you hit them so try to hit them from the front if possible so that you knock them towards your team. Also keep in mind that you can pass through units which is really good for escapes and engages as well. Lastly keep in mind that the bonus movement speed you get from Devastating Charge scales into attack damage due to your passive Warpath.Combo it with your Rampage and Spirit of Dread just activate them as you are knocking the enemy back.

Onslaught of Shadows (R):
Explanation: summons spectral riders and charges forward, dealing 150/250/350 (+100% Ability Power) magic damage to enemies hit. Hecarim releases a shockwave at the end of his charge, causing nearby enemies to flee from him for 0.75 to 1.5 seconds (increases by charge distance). himself will only move to the targeted location. The riders will always move the full distance.

Usage: This ability is really good for both engaging the fight as it has a really long range(which means u can jump directly on the enemy team's carries).But what is more it is also insanely good for disengaging as you are immune to cc while casting it. You would usually want to use it after you have activated your Predator and Devastating Charge and aim to hit the enemy backline with it.

Conclusion

To sum up is one of my favourite junglers as he is super fun to play and pretty viable as well . So with this guide I hope you learn how to play as well as you want to .
