Overview of Jungle Pantheon

PROS:
1. Great Skirmisher
2. Few If Any Unplayable Matchups
3. Great Teamfighter
4. 8/10 Scaling
5. Can't Be Ganked Like Lane Pantheon
6. Uncommon Pick In Jungle
7. Strong Early Playmaking
8. More R Value Due to Being a Jungler

CONS:
1. Very Weak First Scuttle Contest
2. Mediocre First Clear
3. Suffers vs Tabis rush
5. Suffers VS Stat Checkers till Core is complete

Jungle Pathing

Quick 3 Camp:
Red > Raptors > Gromp > Gank
(Smite Gromp, Pot When Needed)

Efficient 5 Camp:
Blue > Gromp > Wolves > Raptors > Red
(Smite Gromp, Smite Red. Pot When Needed)

The 5 camp is NOT HEALTHY. If you're in a situation where theres a good gank opportunity or if you have lane prio you can use your smite on red so you can be healthy for a fight. Avoiding a scuttle contest is IDEAL, it is better to look for a counter gank opportunity or a transition gank to the other scuttle crab if contested without prio. You don't need to do le funny flip the entire game at scuttle crab, remember you can afford to relax and wait for Dirk complete.

Hello, this is my first build guide. I started maining Pantheon around 4? months ago. I've always had a great love for the champions design and kit. However a big drawback is that I hated how he was a "Early Game Champion." Due to this I stayed away from Pantheon, playing him only occasionally in the support role for fun.

However, I've always been a avid enjoyer of RTS games and I have a passion for theory crafting and finding a optimal or viable way to play a game/character/or strategy. I eventually came up with this Pantheon build to put to rest the issues of Pantheon being a early game only champion. I also understand consistency is key in these type of games which is why I love this build and champion.
