Hecarim is banned in about 2.3% of games at this tier, one figure for the whole champion since bans happen before roles are picked. What ban rate measures.
Hecarim's Jungle win rate is 1.8 percentage points below an even 50% — Should I Dodge's win-probability model varies by about 4.8 percentage points of standard deviation from lobby to lobby across all ranks, purely from which champions get drawn, so this gap is smaller than that noise, not solid evidence the champion is unusually strong or weak right now.
Hecarim is tracked in exactly one role at this tier scope, Jungle — so there's no ambiguity below about which lane the rest of this page's per-tier, threat, and counters reporting describes.
Hecarim's Jungle Build
In Emerald+ games on patch 26.22 (including games from other ranks or the previous patch, as Emerald+ on this patch alone had too few), Hecarim's most common Jungle setup runs Ghost and Smite with Stormraider's Surge, maxes Q first, and builds Spear of Shojin, Death's Dance, and Black Cleaver — 35.9% win rate over 49 games.
