Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most trades due to Hecarim's superior burst and mobility with Q spam and E engage.
- Post-6 you can win extended fights if you land R and use W effectively to avoid his engage, as your sustained damage and healing outscales his burst.
How to Trade
- Look for short Q trades when he uses abilities on minions, then immediately back off before he can retaliate with Q-E combo.
- Your best trades come when you can bait his E, then use W to become untargetable and force an extended fight with your E empowered autos.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing near your tower early to avoid his all-in potential, using Q to last hit safely.
- Once you have items and levels, you can start slow pushing to build up minion advantages for your stronger teamfight presence.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W defensively too early in trades as it's your only tool to avoid his E-R combo.
- Never try to match his early roaming as he's much faster and stronger in skirmishes before you have items.
