isn't Pantheon too frustrating to deal with?

Single target spell that harasses from range. Even when you are under turret he throws spear and walks away without taking turret shot. Also how is when someone throws a spear at you you physically in reality cannot dodge it? He literally throws homing missiles If you get close he stuns you and possibly kills you. His shield is up way too often not to mention that his W refreshes it

On other side i don't understand why his E deals less damage to minions and monsters which is cannot understand at all

You realize he falls off like a brick late game if he can't get ahead. Gragas is a good match up if your reflexes are good enough, You can interrupt his W with your E if you react in time.

You can also play shit like Garen and Heimerdinger. Both have good safety built into their kits and can relatiate well if he engages. Their sustain will allow them to bounce right back after taking damage too.

He loses to any fighter post-6. Literally don't die until then and proceed to wreck him.

Panth with DFT and item 2033 is terrible to fight against early game. Every ~4 seconds he throws a flaming nuke at you. Your best bet is to play someone with sustain, or some cheese like Rammus/Taric/Malph top and just stack armor. I have a feeling new Taric would wreck him top; shield his poke, heal through what does hit you, stun him during his E, and your passive completely counters his (probably.......though I'm like 90% sure one of the two hits still gets through).

Mana.

If you have any modicrum of sustain he will go oom before killing you.

Without ignite, he cant kill you unless you fuck up greatly, and without TP he cant really maintain pressure againt a non glass toplaner.

Anyone with either sustain, tankyness or both will destroy him come level 6+.

If he has ignite, go ruby or shield + 1 and play passive the first levels, try to trade farm with him but never go away too far from your tower. If he goes teleport, go cloth+4 and sustain his poke/harass and force him to OoM.

I have found Karma top is able to distroy him with ease.

She is basically everything that panth hates.

He is coming to throw Q at you? Shield it

Passive up? auto him if you want or don't.

About to combo you? Shield and then link his ass.

Q poke as you get the chance too since his block does not stop spells.

I am fairly sure this is a taste of his own frustration factor.

Most AP champs can whoop on him in top. He really only counters AD champs in lane. Swain can whoop him easy. Throw E and walk away. Rinse Repeat. Malzahar same situation. Lissandra can just Q poke and so on.
