Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 3.8% popularity, Hecarim constantly encounters meta-dominant Trundle (8.4%, 3rd place out of 54 Jungle champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Hecarim performance in the current patch. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Phase Rush + Nimbus Cloak combination (46.2% win rate) plus optimal itemization Eclipse, Spear of Shojin, Death's Dance, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 47.7% to 61.7% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Hecarim's superior farming (7.76 vs 5.52/min, 1st among Jungle) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 2.24 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Hecarim outputs more damage (727 vs 546/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Trundle: leads in both matchup win rate (52.3%) and KDA (2.90 vs 2.80, 6th vs 14th place). Hecarim players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Trundle as Hecarim (Jungle)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Hecarim deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Trundle deals mainly physical damage (79.63%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Hecarim is higher farming statistics (ranked 1st among role champions) (versus 39th for Trundle), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.9 versus 2.8) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Hecarim Jungle versus Trundle Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Hecarim player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Trundle player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Hecarim tips:

  • Spirit of Dread restores Health when nearby enemies take damage, including damage dealt by allies. Cast this during a large fight to maximize Hecarim's survivability.
  • Devastating Charge deals more damage based on the distance traveled. Try using Onslaught of Shadows or Summoner Spells such as Ghost or Flash to maximize this damage.

Playing Against Trundle

  • Trundle is very powerful at location-based combat. Try to draw him off of his Frozen Domain.
  • Make sure to get out of his Pillar of Ice as quickly as possible, as it significantly slows you down.
