Good CS for pantheon jungle?

So is free this week (obviously) and I enjoy him very much. I only got one good true game in before the friends I was playing with started to troll and I played him jungle for that game went 11/5/6 and around 31-40 CS it was around a 20-30 minute game with the enemy surrender. My jungle main friend (who was playing soraka) was amazed at how low my CS was yet I was doing so well. So I was wondering what a good CS amount is. I know I had a very low amount but looking at builds I was also wondering if he could clear fast enough for and to be usefull. I also didn't think I had too too low.

Pantheon is all about the early, but his ganking as absurd to the point some people question if it should be allowed. You want the game finished literally before the 20 minute mark at which point you either get blown up in team fights while trying to trade the death with a kill on an enemy carry or go tanky and become a lacklustre stun bot.

Getting a devourer is not recommended as it would set you back quite a lot I should imagine as his clear isn't optimal.

Ya I snowballed into the late game :p I had deadmans and warrior and the enemy team surrendered because I was basically 1v5'ing and surviving long enough (even killing one or two) for the rest of my team to show up

It was just something I was thinking about for the 5 or so minutes I jungle CS"d hard I did pretty good with clear but after I took my blue (went red first) I was just counter jungling the big buffs and ganking every lane

It's possible, but like I said you want to snowball your lanes and gank as hard as possible. You can also shut down the enemy jungler pretty hard. You can stack devourer through kills too but I don't see the use as I've never seen an on-hit Pantheon build.

Like I said just something I thought about. I may try on hit panth in the future but for now I'll just stow this on the backburner. and I'm kinda scared to counter-jungle period. I mean I know i'm pantheon I'm pretty strong so I mean to try it next time tho. Any suggestion if you play him at all?

I don't like Pantheon's design, but I am familiar with it, and I think I can thoerycraft decently with any champion.

I'd counter jungle opponents that posses slow clear times, early game are easily killable due to lack of escapes or will be low after their first buff clear. So pretty much any tank jungler and/or devourer oriented junglers. Wouldn't recommend going against other early game bullies such as Jarvan IV or Lee Sin.

I'd suggest you carry on as you are as you seem to be carrying perfectly fine with your current playstyle. On-hit Pantheon seems to be more of a fun build so I'd recommend if you go with a few friends so you don't get accused of trolling.
