Why the hell does pantheon have a better shield than Braum?
No SERIOUSLY!? What is this game lol? I would ask the developer team to swap their shields because this makes 0 sense.

Because Pantheon is a hell of a lot squishier and his shield doesn't protect his team?
Because braum is little more than a stromg person with a magical door.
Pantheon is an ascended being whos entire purpose is battling other godlike beings.
For Sparta?
braum can build vs full ad team lot of armor and his shield basicaly will nullify the damage done to him
Do you mean gameplay or in the lore?
In the story Pantheon's shield is a legendary magic weapon (everything he wears and use on himself outside of his trousers and helmet came from the previous Pantheons; the helmet is also legendary, but it belongs to him and not the previous Pantheons), while Braum's shield is just a pair of doors that's enchanted to be super tough but they're still just doors.
Gameplay wise, because gameplay balance, how little Riot has anyway.
- Barum's E blocks projectiles (completely for the first instance, reduced damage for subsequent hits; CCes are always nullified if it hits Barum's shield and is a projectile), he can hold his shield for a minimum of 3 seconds, and he is given bonus MS and is ghosted for the duration of his shield.
- Pantheon's E does damage while holding up shield that blocks all damage on 1 side (but since he's only immune to damage, so he's still open to CC unlike Braum; though he can not be interrupted during E making roots more worth as opposed to things like stun), he can only hold shield for a maximum of 2.5 seconds including the 5-stack proc, and his E slows him down (though I'm not too sure how the slow works as it's a little confusing depending on the direction he's moving after casting E).
EDIT: They say Braum's E doesn't block CC?
Braum literally has 0 scaling but his shield is worse than pantheons? He has a magical door that he ripped off a tower. His entire character is based around a shield but its shittier than pantheon. Makes total sense rito.
Can Pantheon make skillshots disappear like Ez or Nami ults?
Not better, different, Pantheon can only protect himself, Braum can defend his whole team
Because he's a stupid rework?
You can't even block tower shots any more with braum shield.
I bet none of you have actually even played Braum
