A Pantheon theory craft thread

[quote=Booshido]so ive been seening pantheon again, both in my games and on high elo streams, so ive got back into him 21 0 9 almost every stat in offence is good for him, not gunna go with utilty, lose out on alot of dmg, armour pen marks mana regen / seals magic resis/lvl glyphs 1 armour pen quint 2 hp quints this is what ive been building so far [[boots of speed]] [[health potion]] x3 [[the brutalizer]] [[berserker's greaves]] [[B. F. Sword]] [[Vampiric Scepter]] [[B. F. Sword]] [[the bloodthirster]] [[youmuu's ghostblade]] [[the bloodthirster]] A Defence item. i have been maxing spear shot, i feel that is the best thing to max it has amzing scaling and end up being something like "deals 100 +550 dmg" so its quite good. but i want use LW rather then ghostblade as he is a AS skilling champ so im thinking of trying [[boots of speed]] [[health potion]] x3 [[B. F. Sword]] [[ionian boots of lucidity]] [[the bloodthirster]] [[last whisper]] [[infinity edge]] [[aegis of the legion]] (if team mate doesnt have) [[guardian angel]] no idea for 6th item, madreds/banshee/starks(not with LW)/more AD thoughts on pantheon?[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]I'm not a Panthon player myself, but a mate has got a quite strong Pantheon Build, with which he has huge success in almost every game he plays him: [[Boots of Swiftness]] [[Sword of the Occult]] [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] [[The Bloodthirster]] [[Infinity Edge]] Some defensive Item Going mid this makes him a beast. I am not quite sure if this is the correct build, I'll be asking him later about that. IMO he should be based alot more on his spear shot, because this allows Pantheon to stay much more defensive while dealing still quite a lot of damage, and auto-attacking the enemys more than relying on his Stun+HSS combo. I would replace Aegis with Youmuu's, because Youmuu's is a very strong Item on Pantheon. It gives him the movementspeed to catch up to the enemy and overall good melee stats for a low price. But I've never been playing Pantheon myself, as I said so chances are that I am wrong with my thesis.[/quote]

[quote=Booshido]iknow youmuu's is viable, but im trying to get rid of it :/, i feel you will deal more dmg with a last whisper, but you will need cd reduction form something, but ye looks like youmuus is gunna be a core item for awhile.[/quote]

[quote=Considereth]Pantheon is shit, total fuckin shit. With that said, lets theorycraft. I like to build Pantheon more beefy. WTF is up with Pantheon no survivability? Why do we keep building him as a glass cannon only to be focused and destroy instantly? Armor Pen Quits + Marks, Armor Flat Seals, Magic Resistance Flat Glyphs. Boots + 3 Health Potions. Pantheon can still dominate the lane even though it doesn't matter if he goes 10/0 he isn't carrying shit. But that for another time. I get flat seals and flat glyphs in order to dominate any opponent easily with my improved resistance and amazing early game damage. Max Spear first, nobody is dumb enough to stand in heart attack of shit. Anyways build order: Boots of Speed + 3 Health Potions > Heart of Gold > The Brutalizer > Mercury Treads/Boots of Swiftness > Infinity Edge > Banshee Veil > Youmuu's Ghostblade > Randuin Omen > Atma's Impaler I prefer to make him beefy as he can no longer rely on Heartseeker Strike to do damage and get the fuck out. He needs to auto attack in order to be effective now which is sad. He isn't a viable pick anymore, he is forced into something he cannot do as good as other champions. Pantheon is dead. Until Riot Buffs him only to nerf him only to buff him only to nerf him some more so that he is shit to the point of being worst than when he was overpowered in the past LOL. Congrats, my favorite champion is SHIT! SHITTTTTT! /rage[/quote]

[quote=Jet]my build for him is [[warmog's armor]] [[atma's impaler]] [[mercury's treads]] [[randuin's omen]] [[The Bloodthirster]] [[The Bloodthirster]] i kid, it's actually 6 warmogs i kid, i never played pantheon before[/quote]

[quote=Searz]6*[[Hextech Gunblade]] >:D Could actually be a fun troll build ^_^[/quote]

[quote=Jet]my build actually sounds slightly reasonable since he does need to take a lot of damage to dish out a lot of damage although i'd just build him as a tank with last whisper and atmas - sort of like jarvan[/quote]

[quote=Booshido]his weakest point is lategame, while the build caters for that it makes his early game not nrealy as useful, thinking early philo stone would be nice, that lets you get armour seals( thinking actully going dodge on him) and flat m.resis glyphs.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]OH SHIIII! Gunblades might actually work! He's got a 100% AP ratio on his stun and ALL his abilities will life/spell steal like crazy >:D[/quote]

[quote=Booshido]Oh ffs, anything but a gunblade spam build, YES IT WORKS ON EVERY CHAMP MMMK Y_Y[/quote]
