Poppy into Hecarimmedium

Overview

Use Poppy's strong early invade resistance and anti-dash tools to contest river and disrupt Hecarim's high-speed gank tempo.
Control terrain near river entrances to maximize wall stuns and deny Hecarim's dash engages.
This matchup favors controlling objectives and forcing Hecarim into reactive plays with your utility and peel.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with terrain to threaten wall stuns and hold to deny Hecarim's dash engages during ganks or counter-ganks.
Invade Hecarim early when nearby lanes can collapse, using to disrupt his objective attempts and force him off camps.
Use tempo resets after objective fights to reset vision and prepare for the next dragon or Rift Herald contest, denying Hecarim's speed advantage.

Danger windows

Respect Hecarim's early invade attempts using his high mobility and speed near river entrances.
Avoid extended fights in open terrain where Hecarim can use fear from and to disrupt and disengage.
Be cautious contesting objectives without vision or lane priority, as Hecarim can force smite fights with his speed and crowd control.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early river control to position for Scuttle crab and potential invade.
Avoid fighting Hecarim in open river areas without wall angles to prevent his mobility and fear from punishing you.
Secure Scuttle only when nearby lanes have priority to collapse on Hecarim if he contests.

Power spikes

Level 6: Use to isolate or remove Hecarim from objective fights or skirmishes, forcing respect.
First tank item spike: Hold for Hecarim's dash commits to survive burst and turn fights.
Tighten vision control and avoid isolated river fights during Hecarim's mid-game item spike when his engage threat rises.

Win conditions

Convert early terrain control and successful invades into securing first dragons and Rift Herald to deny Hecarim scaling.
Use wall stuns and dash denial to create gank pressure and force Hecarim reactive.
Leverage to disengage or isolate targets in objective fights, maintaining front-line disruption and preventing Hecarim snowball.
