Now, this is going to be a short guild. Because reading huge walls of text suck. Hercules is unstoppable in a 1v1, great in a team fight, and can even, if needed, jungle. He is very versatile, and counters almost all other gods.
Want an easy early game kill? Let them push the tower. Pick off the minions with your one when they enter the tower, but make sure the enemy's are right there with them. Make it look like your being passive. Then, when the moment comes.... Toss em. Right smack dab into the tower (or close the the area then push with your one). His 2 can take some practice, but if you can toss them into the tower and push them into the wall (or tower itself) you can land the stun from your one.
When is Hercules the scariest? Late game with a full build and full health? HELLA NA! He is the most pwntastic about 10 minutes in with a finished witch stone and boots. And especially with only a quarter to a half of his health left. Here is the trick:
Step 1: let them initiate
Step 2: Hit your 3.
Step 3: Allow the dealing of their damage to scale with the healing of your 3 to keep your health at a solid half utilizing your passive to do more damage.
Step 4: Rape them.
His boulder is a great ult, he can use it very well in conjunction with most other ults. Including Odin.
When to use:
Its best used in the jungle were it can bounce off of walls and do more damage. Also works very well in the buff areas.
It also world as a snipe-ish thing. Enemy getting away? Toss a boulder.
Also has a decent timed cool down making it great for spam ability and holding a lane.
Who he counters very well:
Artemis, AO, Kali, and most others.
Who counters him:
Thor can typically land better damage against him up close due to his passive. Making his 3 scaling with his health and passive a little trickier (A couple more phys d items will prevent)
Pros:
Has a toss
A stun
A push
A large AOE ult
A semi heal
Counters Raged gods like a sir
Cons:
His toss can be difficult to land
His combo (toss, push) sometime lags and doesnt push
Lack of escapes
Has to have genitalia replaced often due to massive amounts of rape-age.

I like Hercules but I can't play as good I want. I don't know what is it, if I do wrong build, or I don't use his combos correctly. I think he need more defense, like Odin AD bruisser, a tank with good damage.
