Vi into Hecarimmedium

Overview

Use Vi's strong early gank pressure and lockdown to contest river and force picks before Hecarim's mid-game spike.
Prioritize early Scuttle control and capitalize on lanes where you can force flashes with ganks.
Avoid isolated fights without lane priority since Hecarim's mobility and engage threaten counter-ganks.

Jungle Plan

Full clear when lanes lack priority, then track Hecarim's path to counter-gank his early river moves.
Invade after successful ganks on lanes with flash down to deny Hecarim's fast camp cycling and tempo.
Use lockdown on priority lanes post-level 6 to secure picks and convert into dragons or Rift Herald.

Danger windows

Avoid fights when Hecarim has full camp clear and lanes lack priority due to his speed and fear.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or objectives low on health or smite, as forced smite fights favor Hecarim's mobility.
Respect river fights without vision or lane priority since Hecarim can capitalize on isolated skirmishes with his ultimate fear.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear if you spot early gank windows on lanes with flash down to maximize pressure.
Only contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to support river control and avoid 1v1s against Hecarim.
Avoid extended invades without lane priority or a landed , as missing it invites Hecarim punishments.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks lockdown, enabling guaranteed picks that force objective fights or lane snowballs.
First completed jungle item increases your dueling and objective control, letting you contest dragon and Herald aggressively.
Respect Hecarim's mid-game spike with fear engage by avoiding isolated fights without lane support.

Win conditions

Use early ganks to force flashes and snowball lanes, then leverage lockdown for picks before dragon or Herald.
Deny Hecarim free farm by invading after successful ganks and tracking his path to disrupt his tempo and scaling.
Control vision around objectives and force fights where your lockdown and dueling power outmatch Hecarim's speed engage.
