Hercules is not a well known support to new players. Most people just assume if you are a warrior you go into Solo lane, or if you are a Guardian you go into the support role. Well not this guy, Hercules is a really good support when you are picking for pressure. He does take some skill to get good, a lot of what makes Hercules so strong is his combo. When using his 2-1 Earthbreaker Driving Strike combo he is able to lift anyone he hits with his 2 into the air, and then use his 1 to push them in whatever direction he is looking. This is a very strong tool used for displacement, not to mention he does have a lot of solo kill potential that a lot of supports do not have. Using Hercules third ability 
Mitigate Wounds before taking damage is the most optimal time. This skill gives you instant healing, and then a heal after a few seconds for a percentage of your health lost. You also gain protections when using this skill. The final ability Excavate is his ult. This is a giant boulder that you rip out of the ground. This can be used to either flatten your enemy, or can be used to bounce off walls for extra flare.

After that you will buy wards throughout the entire game, basically after you buy boots, and your item try and always walk out of base with a Sentry Ward, and 1-2 Wards
Late game I would KEEP your tank boots, and buy a 3k defensive pot! You can also purchase the 500 pot for the extra 10% CD
If you're running in popping your 3 for 60 prots and a heal 15% mitigations if you're CC'd feels nuts.
I personally build Spirit Robe, but I know a lot of people end up face tanking more dmg abilities than they should so I put the extra prot item in the their instead of the Spirit Robe :D
