Pantheon Passive nerf

Let me say this out straight Pantheon's Aegis Protection passive it a little too much, why? Because it blocks all the damage dealt from a auto attack. Why is that overpowered? In the laning phase if you are someone like Tryndamere or any other auto attacked based champion you will get destroyed. The combo with pantheon is W E Q and by then if you do get an aa off before his stun he has it right back again blocking insane amounts of damage and his stun has only a few second cooldown on it do right as soon as you attack again he has the stun ready to block the next AA. I played a game as Tryndamere and my auto attack were doing over 600 damag, but Pantheon just blocked everyone because all he did was stun then spam abilities then run over and over again dispute my W and E. I recommend that his passive is changed to a high percentage of % damage reduction or make his W not be full shield passive that blocks all damage.

Is this seriously an "I play Tryndamere so please nerf Pantheon" QQ thread?

He's SUPPOSED to counter auto attackers... that's the POINT.

I don't care about top Pantheon, but that passiva change would completelly kill my Jungleon. So NO!

As Tryndamere you should be beating pantheon honestly, his mana goes fast if he constantly chucks spears at you early, you have all the sustain you could ever need to ride it out right there in your Q, you have all the mobility you could ever need to get away from him in your E, you have the power to slow his ass down if you manage to win a trade with a lucky crit and finish him.

Honestly, he's like one of my go-to's to break pantheon in lane. All you have to do is passively farm until six when Panth has his first drop in 1v1 power while yours skyrockets, he has no escapes so once you pop his passive and he pops your ult, you have 5 full seconds to kill whatever is left of his healthbar. His W also has long very long cooldown, especially because he lvls it last so baiting it before you all in pretty much gaurantee's you win the duel.

Get a vamp scepter or ninja tabs early if you need even more sustain, beware the ganks (pantheons ability to kill skyrockets if someone else can help him chain cc), ride it out and outscale.

Just be careful early and you'll be golden, unfed Panth is a useless dead Panth.

Pantheon is a lane bully with a passive that is meant to counter AA champions (though in my experience it doesn't help much since they'll throw enough attacks to hurt you). His block is also one of the more unique things about him.

You're Tryndamyre. Just farm and you'll become the split push nightmare that everyone hates fighting against.
