Short answer: no. Rampage [Q] is untouched in Patch 26.17, with the same 4 second cooldown and the same 0.75 second refund per stack it had in 26.16. The confusion comes from Riot's own highlights graphic, which files Hecarim under Buffs while the written notes never mention him. The buff was real, though. It lived on the PBE for about six hours before Riot deleted it, and we caught the numbers on the way past.
Patch 26.17
The Hecarim Buff That Wasn't
Season 16Short answer: no. Rampage [Q] is untouched in Patch 26.17, with the same 4 second cooldown and the same 0.75 second refund per stack it had in 26.16. The confusion is Riot's own. This patch's highlights graphic files Hecarim under Buffs, and the written notes never mention him at all.
The buff was real, though. It sat on the PBE for about six hours on August 19 before Riot deleted it, and it never came back. Here's exactly what was in it, and why the number that went down was still a buff.

Everyone knows Brand support. Almost nobody has noticed that the version standing where the marksman should be is winning more games than it does.
Brand takes the bot lane carry slot in about one in every two hundred Ranked Solo/Duo games, which is rare enough that most players have never been on either side of it.
So how does this actually work?

League of Legends Solo Queue Tier Lists for Patch 26.17:
Patch 26.17 spends most of its attention on League Classic, but the Rift changes it does make all point the same way: Riot is taking power off the champions who win by snowballing and handing it to the ones who win by scaling. Nasus, Graves and Xerath all take hits at the top of their roles, so we expect Yone, Viego and Yasuo to fill the gaps, and Irelia to finally have a reason to play a long game.LoL 26.17 Patch Notes: Every Champion and Item Change

Patch 26.17: Rift Restoration
Patch 26.17 is a League Classic patch with a Summoner's Rift undercard. Classic gets its second content update and it's a big one: two more rune pages, cheaper runes, a lot more Influence Points and Classic XP, champion and role swapping in Champion Select, the first Council vote, and an art pass that pushes the Rift back toward the way it used to look. On the live Rift it's quieter. Irelia, Yasuo and Yone all get nudged toward scaling instead of snowballing, Vayne gets pulled out of top lane, and Xerath answers for that ban rate. Stormrazor and Sundered Sky both get touched. Two new skin lines land on the 26th, Heartsong Seraphine and Ocean Song Soraka and Jinx.
Buffs: Aurelion Sol, Cho'Gath, Irelia, LeBlanc, Qiyana, Trundle, Yasuo, Yone
Nerfs: Graves, Nasus, Nocturne, Thresh, Vayne, Xerath

Nobody actually loses to Blitzcrank's kit. They lose to one second of standing in the wrong place, and then they lose the twenty minutes that came after it.
Blitzcrank is the oldest complaint in the game and it's still valid, because no other champion converts a single mistake into a dead lane so efficiently. There's no counterplay after the grab lands, which is why every real answer to him happens before it does, or blocks it outright.
Check out our top Blitzcrank counters below for more information on how to beat him!
