Rek'Sai into Hecarimmedium

Overview

Use Rek'Sai's superior early-game pressure and fast clears to outpace Hecarim before his mid-game spike.
Focus on early river control and aggressive tunnel placement to secure objectives and deny Hecarim safe farming.
Leverage Rek'Sai's high dueling and invade resistance to force early skirmishes and tempo advantages.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize aggressive three-camp pathing into invade or counter-jungle when Hecarim is on a slower clear or overextended.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle when nearby lanes can assist or have priority to secure early objective tempo.
Track Hecarim's pathing to counter-gank his early ganks and use tunnel angles to surprise flashless or low-mobility lanes.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early if Hecarim's nearby lanes lack priority to prevent being collapsed on.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision or lane priority, as Hecarim's speed and fear can turn fights.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Hecarim's sustained damage and mobility dominate.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into an early invade or counter-gank to exploit Rek'Sai's strong early dueling.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky isolated fights.
Use tunnels to quickly revisit volatile lanes and objective entrances for repeated ganks or counter-invades.

Power spikes

Rek'Sai's level 3 with full three-camp clear and tunnel access is a major spike to force early invades or ganks.
Use knockup and execute aggressively to punish Hecarim's engages.
Secure early objectives before Hecarim hits his mid-game spike with items and ultimate fear engage.

Win conditions

Convert early tunnel ganks and successful invades into dragon and Rift Herald control to deny Hecarim scaling.
Use superior early dueling and map tempo to repeatedly pressure flashless or low-mobility lanes via tunnels.
Maintain river vision and track Hecarim's pathing to counter-gank and force him into unfavorable fights before his mid-game spike.
