Hecarim into Viegomedium

Overview

Use your superior clear speed and mobility to maintain jungle tempo and punish Viego's slower pathing.
Prioritize river control and contest Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to secure vision and objectives.
Leverage your ultimate to initiate fights from fog and force favorable team engagements.

Jungle Plan

Cycle camps quickly and path toward overextended lanes to punish Viego's medium invade resistance and slower clear.
Use river control and Scuttle vision to set up counter-ganks and force Viego into fights without lane support.
Reset tempo before major objectives like dragon or Rift Herald to leverage your speed and ultimate threat for teamfights.

Danger windows

Beware early river fights where Viego's camouflage and stun can catch you off-guard without lane support.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights where Viego's reset execute can turn the fight.
Respect moments when your lanes lack priority, as Viego can use these to invade or force unfavorable skirmishes.

Early game

Start with a full clear toward lanes that are likely to push forward to maximize level and tempo advantage.
Fight for the first Scuttle only when your lanes can move first to avoid unfavorable skirmishes.
Avoid early isolated fights before your level 6 power spike; use your speed to counter-gank predictable Viego ganks.

Power spikes

At level 6, use fear engage to initiate fights where you can hit carries from fog.
Exploit your faster clear speed and movement to reach item spikes earlier, increasing mid-game dueling and gank threat.
Respect Viego's level 6 reset potential and first fighter item timing by avoiding extended fights without lane or vision advantage.

Win conditions

Convert your faster camp cycling and superior gank angles into early objective control and lane snowball.
Use your ultimate to initiate fights from fog and catch carries to force team resets and secure dragons or Rift Herald.
Deny Viego the first takedown to prevent his reset chain, then leverage your speed to counter-jungle and pressure his jungle pathing.
