How to play against Pantheon?
Every single time ive played against a panthon, ive always lost. I cant stand him and I hate the person who made him. So how do I play against him?

you wait 15 minutes.
He's heavy on early game harass, but falls off HARD late game and needs a lot of items to get his build kicked off. Start by buying a lot of armor early game. This should very much limit his harass. It might help to get a little lifesteal too. Next, wait until he's oom from chucking all those spears. Then's a good time to engage. Another good time would be after he's used his W. His E is also very powerful with black cleaver- Try your best to not get caught in it.
Also, which champions do you play? We don't know if you're a top laning against him, or an adc that gets it deep every time Jungle Panth comes in for a gank, for an example.
Especially for the top lane, would you be willing to consider learning and picking Counter Champions? Or do you want to figure out how to deal with him in your own roster?
That's the point. You Can't. Atleast not until level 13,pantheon got literally no counterplay and no counterpick. Unless your jungler camping 24/7(good luck with that),you are going to be denied. While you are pushed to the tower,panth can easily roam and snowball his team with his easy to use ult. I've proposed a perfect(by my opinion :D) pantheon gameplay update,to shift him into more decision making,less braindead and more counterplay and late game champ,as being less bully,but got downvoted as usual.

Really there isn't much you can do early game but eat spears and back every three minutes.
If you get the pick on him though, go someone like Malph or Shen. They both have shields to mitigate his harass, Malph has bonus armour and Shen has sustain, and they both outscale him quickly because Panth is shit if he isn't ahead.
From a long time Irelia player.
Try learning karma ro some champ with a lot of poke from abilities top and picking it against panth if an option.
While I can sometimes beat Panth top as Irelia it is too unreliable for my liking. I have to make so few mistakes to actually come out on top in this match up.
Karma on the other hand has the means to limit his poke, pop his block passive while harassing often and if he is going in on you shield and link for easy to win trades.
There are others like someone said. Rumble being one of the better ones for beating him outright but the key is that Panth will usually win trades with auto attack reliant champs.
Well, you outsustain him.
Learn the triple Q and bush fragging and you should be fine. Lvl 6 all in him.
lots of potions, learn to disengage him, yell for ganks
