New hero, Hecarim the horsedude who goes fast

Abilities:

Warpath (Passive) – Hecarim ignores unit collision and gains attack damage equal to a percentage of his bonus movement speed.

Rampage – Hecarim cleaves nearby enemies dealing physical damage.

Spirit of Dread - Hecarim deals magic damage to nearby enemies for a short duration. Hecarim gains health equal to a percentage of any damage those enemies suffer.

Devastating Charge - Hecarim gains increasing movement speed for a short duration. His next attack knocks the target back and deals additional physical damage based on the distance he has traveled since activating the ability.

Onslaught of Shadows (Ultimate) - Hecarim summons spectral riders and charges forward, dealing magic damage in a line. Hecarim creates a shockwave when he finishes his charge dealing additional magic damage to nearby enemies causing them to flee in terror.

Boots 3 will finally have a use! Probably still worse than merc treads, though.

Oh no, 20 extra speed is going to be viable on him just because of the passive? Are you kidding?

I really want jangle him.

Two AoE abilities, a synergy with movespeed, and a fear? Bossmode man. I can feel the rammus like ganks with that E.

That kit looks so... bland.

I mean his passive is probably awesome, but his Q/W/E are just the most generic tanky dps skills you could possibly go for.

Don't worry, eventually Riot will phase out the AD carry and we'll have no need for anything but tanky DPS anymore.

Besides, coming up with something fun like Mundo and Singed is hard.

(for real, though his skills may seem pretty bland they'll have some interesting flavors if Riot saves more of the power for the unique parts).

It's always amusing to see a champions passive be stats => AD/AP

Rammus, armor => AD
Galio, MR => AP
Vlad, AP <=> HP

Hecarim, MS => AD

Itemizing for his passive will suck anyways since slows will counter any damage you get from a speed build.

edit: well, maybe it doesn't work that way since it says bonus movespeed. IDK.

I'm guessing it counts ghost for his bonus thing? Like you ghost and gain dmg? That's the only way I can see him gaining anything out of that passive. Oh and another hero to build triforce on.

He's probably getting a decent percentage from bonus then. Boots 2/3 give 70/90, zeal/PD give him maybe 20? Most of the time you'd expect to have around 100ish at best?

Every time you run him you're going to want to run zilean too probably. Vroom vroom!

That said his skills look pretty generic, and a charge ulti with voli fear at the end.

sounds like his ganks at 6 will be devastating if the passive is actually worth a shit

ghostblade + pdancer with all the CC this guy has that should be core

force of nature too maybe but its only 8%, sounds/looks like he'll build tanky though

I'll be honest, I don't really understand why people are always so interested in/curious about/excited to discuss every new champion. Like, who cares? They get added when they get added and there's not really any point going on about them until then. The odds are fairly good that within a week of release you won't be any more interested in the fact he's been added than you are now about the fact sejuani is in the game.

What could "a percentage" be? Anyway movespeed quints and 0-21-9 build with boots first with janna should make for some sick toplaning and if the passive's good enough he might not even need AD marks and could go armor penetration...

I have a vague feeling that boots won't count towards the AD bonus since it's a flat bonus and not % bonus. They might make it 1% movespeed = 1AD which would make it really powerful early on and not really worth much later on.

Gives people something to do, and for every Sejuani you get a Riven or a Ziggs.
