Pantheon blocking aoe damage

Nah it should be left with the justification that shield mechanics are supposed to work like this given how Yasuo operates.

Pantheon's shield doesn't block damage from a given direction, it blocks damage from champions in the given direction. As an example, if you throw a Nidalee Q at a shielding pantheon then flash behind him before the spear hits, it'll deal damage. You have to be behind Pantheon regardless of where the damage actually actuated on him.

And that makes sense to you?
