Recently, Hecarim has seemed to be the most OP champion for the jungle role in League of Legends
If you are following pro leagues around the world, you will easily realize that Hecarim’s power is so huge that he appears in every single match! Udyr is also a champion that has been picked a lot for the jungle role, but Hecarim appears to be more popular when he has been chosen or banned in every match from pro leagues to solo queues.
Although Hecarim is now extremely powerful, magically, he was just nerfed slightly in patch 11.7 and he even did not appear in the nerf list of patch 11.8! As a result, his power has not been lessened too much and he is still dominating the jungle. It is that imbalance that a lot of players have sent their complaints to Riot Games in order to ask them to nerf this champion.
This post has received a lot of approval from the community and over a thousand of agreements have been made:
The rising into an OP item of Chemtank has made Riot lose their control in his power. This item with Udyr just helps him to shorten his distance to the target, but with Hecarim, it also increases his AD thanks to his passive. Combining with Death Man’s Plate, they will become a combo helping him to turn into a monster as he will become a tanker with a large amount of damage.
Obviously, a tanky champion being able to deal a high range of damage sounds awkward as it will completely unbalance the game. 71.2% of ban rate seems to be a reasonable number as no one wants to meet him in the jungle, for sure. Definitely, it’s high time Riot Games needed to nerf this champion so as to balance their game.
