Pantheon's New Kit

I had to watch the video a few times and it hit me.

The reason why they showed every single basic spell twice (E is shown 3 times) is because the 5 stack under his HP plays a big role in his basic abilities.

He charges his stacks by attacking, both spell and AA; this is the same as before iirc. But the function is now different and much more powerful

1. When he reaches 5 stacks, his Q deals more damage and slows the target.
2. When he reaches 5 stacks, he attacks additional times after stunning the opponent.
3. When he reaches 5 stacks, his E gains the additional effect of blocking projectiles and seemingly deals more damage in the 3rd showing.

atleast he aint purple no more, cant wait for him to be overtuned af tho

Made his spear a skill shot, removed his block and made him stronger overall so he’s not just a spear chucking monkey everyone hates early but he’s a formidable opponent.

Marvelous. Knowing riot they’ll probably fuck his stats but let’s see

Regardless of the abilities, I like the style and design put into the video, having recommended items and setup. Considering all Yuumi originally got was a blog entry page with brief descriptions of abilities, this is a big step up.

So...Passive doesn’t allow him to block turret shots or skill shots anymore, Q is a skill shot now, W is flashier, E blocks projectiles in addition to doing his typical 3 fast attacks, R range absolutely gutted?

I might return to being a Panth main. I’m conflicted.

Thanks for putting the ability names in one big image

I have a small feeling that pantheon will be played midlane more than toplane. Welp...good luck midlaners

Pantheon looks like they copied Mars from Dota 2 real talk.

Hmm ... the combination of Ult granting all five stacks of his passive and his W counting as three auto-attacks when empowered, he seems like a prime candidate for Spear of Shojin; ult, W, auto, E looks like his bread and butter combo for trades post 6.

If Pantheon is indeed completely invulnerable to enemies in the selected direction during his E AND can move during it AND also does damage in that direction during it, I have no idea how you are going to trade with him in lane outside of just trying to hit him when his abilities are down, which a good Pantheon can make sure never happens at less than ideal times. I wonder how it interacts with stuff like Zed ultimate. Does Pantheon just need to point his E towards wherever Zed is when the ult pops to block out the damage?

any speculations for Kit changes?

They will remove The refund on Q You Will be Grounded During E You wont be able to Cancel the E

(Again, I'm not saying hes broken, or will be busted. Just riot has a track record of overloading, and I think they'll look to trim. or Flatten.)

His new voice is terrible.

Bitte ändert nicht seine aktuelle Passiv. Die Fähigkeit alle 4 Angriffe oder Fähigkeiten einen Angriff von Gegner oder Turm zu blocken ist meiner Meinung nach seine stärkste Mechanik. Diese Änderung würde Pantheon stark verändern nicht nur seinen Spielstil sondern auch seinen Charakter. Nehmt gern den "point and click" q raus, aber bitte ändert nicht seine stärkste Fähigkeit. Sieht zwar nicht so schlimm wie bei Aatrox aus, dessen Rework ihn sozusagen zu einem völlig neuen Helden gemacht hat, aber es würde Pantheon schon sehr stark verändern.

It looks cool af, but doesn't it have to less dashes and jumps for riots new design philosphy?
