Does Pantheon REALLY counter Rek'sai amd Nasus?
Now I heard these both from silver players, and both times I got WRECKED HARD. My belief is that Pantheon is actually COUNTERED by those two.
Rek'Sai- Has more of what Pantheon ends up with, EARLIER. Also, stuns BY THEMSELVES do not counter Rek'sai. Or most anything.
Nasus- Susan spelled backwards. LOL LoL. Nasus counters Pantheon because he can tank out his burst, and deal THAT SAME BURST TO HIM. Early? What early game do you speak of on Panth? His is BAD. He can poke and WEQ for small damage... But he needs his build to get going on the Weqqing.
Do you agree with the Stubborn Silvers or I?

I could be totally wrong about
As for your comment: "What early game do you speak of on Panth?".
But I realized what I'm doing wrong. I have to fix my Pantheon guide. I level up my E way too much. It really only gives small benefits at that point. But he does have a very strong late game, if you play him correctly. Building tank is almost pointless, because his E's large burst damage increases are AD. There are some ways tankier Pantheon could function, like if you built a Thornmail to deal damage to enemies attacking you. Even then, that works much better with Tryndamere or the previously mentioned Nasus (Susan backwards, will never not be funny. I hate Nasus).
You need to stand between doge and your creeps and trade with him whenever he tries to CS. Freeze the lane, don't push it, unless he's recalled and he doesn't have TP, in which case, shove the creeps into the tower and get them to suicide against the tower, making him miss CS and xp.
All that aside, the only reason you'd lose lane is if the jungler camps you.
But I know lower elo players tend to think pushing against Nasus is winning. Pushing =/= zoning
I too, agree that
Pantheon has marginally stronger poke with
Provided that reksai has full rage, she can outduel pantheon in all in exchanges because of the true damage bonus she gets on
