Pantheon was the most balanced champ in the game IMO.
Super strong early game that falls off super hard late
I'm so upset they nerfed him. I've said on here before I have a 100% win rate with pantheon in ranked because I always pick him into an enemy nasus when I'm top lane. Well just two nights ago for the first time in season 6, my pantheon vs nasus skills were tested again and the streak put on the line, they picked nasus I countered with panth.
So first of all not being able to have/start with crystalline flask/mana pots, it really hurts pantheons great early leaning especially vs nasus. But, luckily my jungler was smart and made the right ganks after nasus used tp and I was able to roam around the map well nasus jus stood up there and farmed. I ended up 17/4 and we won. Still 100% win rate in ranked with panth lol
I can't stress enough even tho pantheon is great early, the new corrupting potion start sucks ass compared to crystal/5. And this nerf to panth is completely unnecessary
