the problem with pantheon is that this isn't the first time he's been overbuffed. i think most of it happens to be how bad he was before but i wouldn't be surprised if he gets nerfed.
just hopefully it won't be like last time, where he was complete ****, then got super buffed for a month, then got nerfed to **** again.

Pantheon's pretty balanced right now.
His man-drop is much more responsive, and the bonus-ad scaling works great for stacking raw Attack. He's still squishy which counter-balances his substantial burst mid game.
Heartseeker Strike now only strikes 3 times, so there's no stun->instagib scenarios anymore. Just gotta watch yourself like you can against any other champion.
While
Aegis of Zeonia is not a flat 1 second at all ranks, so it's a solid one-point-wonder.
Double-stun duo-laners typically have a great time, as they can't be approached. If the enemy missteps once, they eat a chain of stuns and a fair amount of burst/harass.
Sion, Taric, Pantheon, Leona, Maokai, Caitlyn, Annie, Alistar, Blitzcrank and many more.
Any combination of these champions will always do very well because stuns are strong that way.

Yeah he's balanced but have you seen bigfatlp play him. o m g...
Well, what I like now is that Pantheon got a STRONG Buff early game, I mean, with 31 ArP at level 3-5 you can burst some hard **********a combo alone +
Spear Shot finishes the job quickly, so IMO, maxing it first is better than maxing
Heartseeker Strike atm. 150 damage each 4 second for 45 Mana? Jesus, it's so good with
Manamune (Yeah, I love Manamune+Atma Panth <3)



@Crazy Smurf:
Hahaha, that's what I thought too... for about half a game.
HSS is your main damage dealer mid game, I found a better way to do it. Still working out the kinks~

I had 1 game with him, but I didn't build enough ArP in runes. I went more with AS to proc his passive.
Ultimate feels A LOT BETTER. Spear throw is satisfying. His HSS leaves a little to be desired early game but comes into it's own mid and late game. He's a solid pick and less RNG than he was pre-patch imo.

I really like the new Pantheon. I still feel the heartseeker strike is a little low, although I have wrecked people with it...I just miss the old heartseeker. I hope he stays the way he is now. His spear is on par, if not as good as Nid's with the right build and ruins. :P

Thanks to TheSoupKitchen for this awesome sig!

I also find Panth to be a counter to most of AD Carries, precisely due to his Passive and high burst with ArP. Any thoughts? How do you like new Pantheon anyway?
