Title. Pantheon was merfed in s15 for being too dominant in jungle pro play meta, due in part with his strong synergy with Sundered sky. With the item being gutted, will they consider reverting the nerfs to his clear speed?
I tried Stormraider Surge on Panth over a +100 game, and it feels good.
I'm 2 mil mastery, I play mid, jg.
First, I go with Stormraider Surge: Nimbus Cloak, Transcendence, Scorch in mid, Waterwalking in jg, and for the second tree, I go Precision: Cut Down and Haste.
I tried all items in practice to know what to build to maximize damage.
Found that Profane Hydra and Voltaic Cyclosword are better to build first.
First, I go Profane Hydra for maximum damage and farm.
Then, I go Voltaic for damage.
And here is the problem: what to build as a 3rd item?
If I face a full AD team, I go for Omen or Frozen Heart. If mixed, I go for Sundered Sky, Black Cleaver, or Sterak's Gage.
4th item, I go for Cleaver or Sundered or DD, and situationally Lord Dominik.
Last item, I go for DD or Sterak or Jak'Sho.
Help me on itemization on the last three items pls
But generally, that's my build: Profane > Voltaic > Sundered > Cleaver > DD or Jak'Sho
And Mercury's Boots or Swiftness.
Advantages: High ability to do damage with lethality items, and chasing an enemy and running out of the fight with movement speed after securing a kill, then re-entering again if possible. Really good haste after lvl 10, and in the late game, you have nice damage, the ability to not die easily, a high dodging probability, and low death chances.
Disadvantages: If I'm too far behind, I can't get in the game easily. I become support for the team.
There's another video in the comments.
Was thinking of adding Pantheon to my mid lane champ pool against some mobile assassins. What builds am I suppose to go and how should my playstyle be throughout the game?
I’m a Masters Pantheon OTP who has recently (as of the last few months) started playing support almost exclusively. I currently play Pantheon every game and when it’s banned or picked I lock in Zilean. I’ve historically played Galio support but I’d like to expand my champ pool further. I’m not particularly comfortable with ranged AA based champions but otherwise I’m very flexible and open to anything but I’d love any champs I play to have enough agency to impact the game state without relying on my adc.
As im getting closer to diamond, the setts have begun using the instant e w combo so I dont have a window to e his haymaker. So far ive been just trying to predict his pull and throwing a premptive e but the success rate is about 50/50. Im just wondering if theres a more optimal way to trade into him if he just runs at you
I got completely bodied in this matchup. I died to a kayn gank lvl 4ish and it was all downhill from there. I cannot trade into this guy, he W my w so i get pretty much no stun off, he runs away with SS and regens all hp and just whittles me down. how tf do i play into this champ? I cant even catch him lol
Hey guys,
Any tips on how I can optimize this?
Felt like a god on URF with this and carried over to norms ever since.
Open to any and all feedback.
Looking at the wr I know this is supposed to be a good match for us but I just cant understand how? His E counters Pantheon emp W combo, and he becomes nearly unkillable by building a lilttle bit of hp and armor. Any tips?
The damage is just too good and I can take out people in fights a lot easier. The poke damage is strong if throwing Q and you get ult up so fast for ganks. I play this build for everything except top/into a team of like 3 tanks. Even against tanks its pretty strong. The whole build revolves around health% damage chunking.
I go Volt->bork/axiom->bork/axiom-> grudge->eclipse/edge of night/fill like serpents-> fill/armor pen
But 19/20 games its just volt->bork->axiom->grudge->deaths dance or eclipse and this melts even tanks. You are squishy which is a downside but you can easily punish anyone out of place like any assassin and you can constantly push objectives or fights with ult. Idk i prefer this way more
Runes: press the attack with triumph, haste, and coup de grace. Secondary runes: domination with either cheap shot or sudden impact, and ultimate hunter.
(I should try bastion breaker idk how i havent thought of this) edit: bastion break def very good for the build. Would take it as a first/last item unless you dont care for ults and take it over axiom. But bork second def feels the best
We need another Pantheon skin
I've been playing since season 1 and I never heard pantheon say any of these 2 lines, nor did I find them in the wiki page of old Pantheon
"I live only for war, and videos of cute kitten"
"They said to dress business casual. This Is business casual, where I'm from"
And I didn't find anyone talking about it either. What is up with these 2 voicelines that were never there, but now it exist in classic league?
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
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
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
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
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
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"
