Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you lose the scuttle fight against Hecarim if he has his E active — his movement speed bonus translates directly into damage, and he will out-sustain your burst with his W passive healing.
From level 6, you can win a 1v1 if you bait his E dash first, then use your W decoy to dodge his follow-up, and burst him down with Q empowered auto into R knockup before he can re-engage with E.

Hecarim typically starts Red Buff side on his bot-side jungle, clears Raptors or Krugs efficiently, then looks for early Scuttle or a gank path top or mid by level 3.
He favors full clears with minimal backtracking due to his W sustain, so expect him to be healthy and on the opposite side of the map from where he started.

You should not invade Hecarim early unless you have vision confirming he is on the opposite side of the map — his E gives him enough mobility to collapse on you faster than you can escape, and your W decoy does not reliably disengage a committed Hecarim chase.
If you do invade, the optimal window is after he has cleared his second buff (around 3:15–3:30) at his second buff camp, where he will be temporarily stationary and slightly lower on health.

Do not use your W defensively too early in the fight — Hecarim's E has a long enough duration that he can simply wait out your decoy and re-engage with full momentum damage.
Burning W before he commits his E means you have no escape tool and no way to dodge his primary damage source.
