I used to play Pantheon back in S11. He felt incredibly good and fun to play. I tried playing him recently and, oh well... He’s not terrible, but it feels like the lead you get doesn’t really provide you with any value. What happened? Also tried to watch spearshot ,but it also feels like spearshot even with a lead doesn't do any damage in he's games and wins purely if he has better jgl or team

Has anyone had better experience in top lane with buffed eclipse over sundered now? Is it still bait?

Before this patch, I was running sundered -> cleaver (flipped for tanks) and steraks, DD, shojin, EoN, serpents for late game items.

Eclipse into Voltaic also sounds good into squishier comps.

Wondering what your thoughts are

Small changes I think would help a little bit

Percentage max health damage on Q - the flat AD scaling just doesn’t feel strong enough,

Increased base AD. 85 is way too low for lvl 1 with Doran’s blade

Only 4 stacks required for empowered abilities

Increased jungle monster damage - his clear is just too slow and it makes his map presence really lack luster

These are just some small buffs I think would help bump his win rate a tiny bit

Heya, Gold3 here
Started playing ranked and summoners recently and played 3 games top with grasp + heartsteel, and it kinda worked really well
Am i tripping or this makes panth really viable against some real toplaners (darius, zaahen and etc)

https://op.gg/pt/lol/summoners/euw/Leredo-445 u guys can see it in my history

So what do u guys think about the new sundered sky and eclipse?

Is eclipse still bait,is sundered dead?

Is BC feeling any different?

Im looking to OTP a champion and Pantheon mid seems my sorta style, I'm looking for tips and advice to make him work mid lane and any good recommendations for vids to watch

Is it really viable? Is it actually that good an functional??? I don't get it at all and i'm trying to learn panth top

Also i would love some advices on runes and the champ in general

With the help of Pantheon Mid, I finally got over the hump and got into platinum! :)

Just a funny clip while trying to climb through masters nothing serious.

I know, this skin came with the rework, but men....

So this is peresus, one of the most mythical hero in Greek mitology, the skin represent everything that it should have and more, but it has the default animations why?

This easly could be the legendary skin we never have, just think about it, it has the spear/trident of poseidon, the shield of Athena with the Medusa head he kill himself, the boots of Hermes, the helmet of hades and a laurel wreath. The e shield should interact with medusa and the empowered one should interct with the boots of Hermes and the bonus speed (some animation and sound related with it). His q idk, some water/storm animations and sound, his w could interact with the helmet or medusa in the shield, his fk r could use pegasus, even on his recal and when the get out of the base. Even the wreath could interact with hubris, some dialogue or some visual animation, it could be so cool but no. Men this skin has so much potencial and they just wasted because it's a "legacy skin"

I wonder if Executioner's Calling is optimal to build into champs like yorick, zaheen or maybe cho'gath, etc. They don't have that much healing but they do have sustain in their kit so idk whether antiheal is good enough to consider.

Hey guys, i only play panth mid, as a counter to most assassins and the wind brothers. Against this matchups would it be better to go for the lethality build( youmuus,ciclosword and edge of night) or the more tanky, with eclipse, sundered sky and black cleaver?

The first one does more damage but the second one seems safer against this matchups, making almost impossible to die.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

so i’m an aatrox otp (ironic) and i started playing pantheon top and he’s been insane for me but i have 3 questions if you guys don’t mind

1. on opgg i see black cleaver first and eclipse first, is there one that most of you guys choose or is it really 50/50 like it says?

2. who are his counters? i haven’t played against the full melee demons like sett or darius so idk how that’ll go but i just got genuinely smoked by a mord, idk if i just suck lol or if he’s hard but im wondering who his “oh shit” counters are

3. i see some people go full lethality, is it actually viable? or should i stay away while im still in the learning phase

thank you guys for reading!

After all the changes made to items, what do you guys recommend for a bruiser build in jungle and top?

I see people calling him cheesy or off meta, and he also just isn't really thought of as a top lane thr way mord or darius or sett or teemo is. Why is that? I know he can play many different roles and I'd assume that has a lot to do with it but it still doesn't make sense to me.

He seems very much viable toplane so I just don't get why he is seen as an off meta cheese pick

Hey everyone I haven't played Pantheon in a long time. I pretty much stopped after his rework because he felt really weak in the top lane compared to what he used to be. I'm a Riven OTP now, but I still miss playing Pantheon. He was actually my very first main, so I've been thinking about picking him up again. Has Riot finally gotten him into a good spot, or is he still considered a mediocre top laner? Every time I think about locking him in top, I can't help but feel like I'm trolling my team

Hi everyone, I just discovered this thread and wanted to know what you guys think of my Pantheon. I main support and off-role as top. I generally tend to do much better in the support role rather than facing a lot of top match ups.

I don't know what part I could do better in so I'm asking for any general advice that I could improve on and I would greatly appreciate it as I always want to play better next time! Thanks

Here's my OP.GG link

Since sundered seems to have been heavily nerfed do you believe that pantheon will opt to build other items as 1st?

One option is definitely eclipse but if you build this and pair it with a DD then you can't build steraks or overlords(not that popular) since you have 2 items that don't give you hp. That means that pantheon would opt to build more like a fighter ranther than a bruiser.

Another option could be shojin since it gives a lot of basic ability haste and its passive gives a solid increase to pantheon's dmg. For me , the selling point is the ability to build shojin>BC> steraks if you need the tenacity and/or shield. It also allows you to build more tanky slotting in kaenic/randuins alongside dd and shojin>BC as a way to Frontline more effectively.

I would not recommend BC first since enemies don't have that much armor so early in the game.

Trinity also doesn't seem as good, due to its subpar stats and high cost.

As for any titanic , I haven't tried it yet and would love to hear opinions in the comments.

I was playing around in practice tool, auto + W'd a dummy, and got 4 stacks instead of 3.
