Have dragon ignore Pantheon's passive

Burnt Light··20 votes·2,775 views

Seriously, it doesn't take long for Pantheon to get dragon at all. I went to ward it around 4-5 minutes in the game, and it was already gone. How is it fair for the rest of us junglers for it to be taken so damn early and quick? Do something about this and stop letting Pantheon be more broken than he already is.

Pantheon is getting hit with a heavy nerf AND dragon is ignoring his passive in the next patch.

I don't see many Patheons, so I'm not sure... But isn't that a bit much? I would have thought that the ignoring passive would have been good enough.

It REALLY is. The nerf is going to kneecap him and make him unplayable.

One or the other. not both changes. Riot is stupid.

Its going to make his jungle slightly harder but its not going to make him unplayable. He is still a pretty good ganker and clears relatively well and quickly.

going from .679 attack speed to .625 is an incredibly huge nerf.

This might actually be more significant than you think, he might not be able to get his passive up in time to block the next dragon attack.

That's kind of the point. Pantheon is a little different from the other solo drag champions, in that his method of killing dragon requires zero player skill, just enough attack speed to get the shield up in time.

If you frequently build large amounts of AS, yes.

Which...I don't know many Panth players who do.

Or give dragon something else to do other than spam his 1 slow basic attack.

Seriously. All this effort in getting Baron to be interesting and they make Dragon even more uneventful.

Pantheon does not deserve to be able to solo Drake at level 2 with nothing but a machete. Also If your jungler started blue, while he's at red Pantheon is doing drake. If botlane collapses on him then the enemy botlane collapses and it becomes a 3v2, and a smart pantheon will back off and let drake aggro anyone coming into the pit which means you lose out on drake and feed a kill to botlane/pantheon.

Level 2? Get good! I've watched a friend solo dragon at lvl 1, WITHOUT a jungle item. More than once. He took zero damage. This seriously needs to get fixed.

It really isn't a problem because you can easily predict when he will do dragon; level 3 for guaranteed kill. So, clear 2 camps in bottom jungle, kill the crab, go on and clear your next camp. If you see him going for dragon, kill him.

It's getting fixed on PBE they are adjusting his base attack speed so that he can't proc his shields fast enough.

AA-Q-AA-E FIYAAAAAH W-AA-AA-AA-AA~ FIYAAAAH AA-Q-AA-E etc.

What I mean to say is that not only his attack speed is the only threat, but the fact his own abilities can also proc the shield passive. Really hoped Riot has already had this in mind.

They shouldn't nerf his attack speed thats bullshit. Why are they fucking laners for no reason other than that they fucked up in design?

pink wards last the whole game, and if you know he's going to camp it anyway, kill him

I went to pink it after getting my buffs and it was already gone. Stop trying to justify something that is obviously broken just because you want to abuse it.

you get it after your buffs pantheon gets it after he reaches lvl2...

u gotta be faster than that

The problem is that he can literally take it as soon as it spawns and take zero damage from it. When I say zero, I don't mean he's not taking a lot of damage while doing it, I mean he's literally taking NO damage at all.

When he can take it this early you have to dedicate resources to stopping him that could be used in other places, such as CSing and gaining EXP, while his team doesn't. This gives them a huge lead no matter what path you choose, since dragon doesn't give gold anymore so even if you beat him to it you'll fall behind on CS and EXP.

Also the 8% damage boost for his team before they even take their first RTB is insane.

mid-"Hey team, should we take early 5 man dragon cause they have pant?" jg-"sure, I'll watch for him and place early ward" support-"Okay, I can use a ward too until we're all level 3 and can do it together" top-"but I didn't take teleport"

If they have a pantheon jungle its a free kill if you walk in on him at drag so just keep that in mind and ward it early with your trinket

Or give dragon more shit to do. Baron gets reworked. Now any retard can micro dragon and literally negate ALL damage because its animation is slower than an old mans dick gets hard.

Next patch, in PBE dragons attacks are now coded as a skill, rather than an auto attack.

Does that mean Nocturne will be able to block it?

BeatzBoyFTW1 votes

Yea, but he can't block each of dragon's attack in a row right?

Ulric Greatsword1 votes

Not unless we're talking URF levels of CDR

He's not broken. Just ward it early on, or tell bot lane to ward it early on. When he comes to do it, collapse on him and get first blood or drive him off. Now he's either dead or behind in the jungle.

You just have to be a little more on the ball with your dragon warding.

Yes, don't ruin lane pantheon for this dragon exploit. Even though I don't like a brainless champ like him, he's actually a good counter to ranged champions due to his passive. And I need him to exist for that.
