Hecate hmm I've played her twice and she's not just a midlaner/INT she can also be played as a support (full tank) it's weird that it's possible but it is I tested it out and did well in team fights.

For me I max the her ability 3 just for the shield then the 1 then ult and finally 2.

My build for support-Chronos' Pendant, Gauntlet of Thebes, Oni Hunter's Garb, Spectral Armor, Spirit Robe, Prophetic Cloak. Your starter item can be anything depending on your carry.

The hecate is a very strong god, but it requires a little more positioning, which ends up not being so friendly for new players. Most of the times I've played it I've seen it used in the mid, but it can also be a support, abusing its poke and abilities that amplify allies. Let's talk a bit more about her abilities:

Passive: “Mythic Ritual” - Her passive has a good interaction with structures, as it allows you to regenerate mana and life for your team, as well as increasing damage (after killing enemies).
Ability 1: “Triplicate Form” - This is your main damage ability, so you need to understand that it has two forms: Direct damage, you end up marking and amplifying allied damage (which is why she can perform as support) or damage that mesmerizes enemies.
Ability 2: “Spell Eater” - The goddess creates a growing circle of energy, in this area every ability cast (including by her allies) will deal extra damage with a recast at the end that deals damage.
Ability 3: “Repel Magic” - Basically a shield that can be cast on yourself or allies, protecting from magic damage, providing movement speed and dealing damage to those nearby (again, which allows her to be a support hahaha).
Ultimate: “Open the Gates” - Her ult is very versatile, as you create two portals on the ground, dealing damage and stunning all enemies. These portals can teleport, giving you incredible mobility to try and outrun your opponents.

Gameplay: Positioning is the most important thing with her, as you need to be behind the team, poke and buff allied skills, as well as getting a good fit for your ult.

1.Use her 2 before the fight quickly to fill it up and then use it at the end of the combo when it's filled up for maximum damage

2.Don't forget to buff allies and towers when possible (Default key on PC: Space)

3.You can use your ultimate to pull enemies into unfavorable positions, including your tower and fountain! It's very useful in Arena. If they're pushing towards your base just hop back in and pull them into your fountain for a funny kill.

4.You can actually build Hecate as a support or half-support. Keep an eye out for HP items.

5.Keep an eye out for low health teammates, your 3 can sometimes really save them in a pinch.

I oullday th best way to play Hecate is to build more of a pure power/penetration based build. How i like to play Hecate is by going Conduit gem - book of thoth - Chronos Pendant - Neccronomicon - Rod of Tahuti - Spear of desolation and World stone.
