Well, i had few Pantheon+Taric matches and I gotta say I owned my opponents like i wanted.
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?

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.

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~

ok so, since riot said his q only does 150% damage on a crit, does that mean that with ie it will do 175%?

since its half of the bonus from crits...

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 can't wait to try him out, he's one of those champs I wanted to play for a long time but seeing he was 'useless' for such a long time I didn't bother :v
