This is the reason you should ban Pantheon. Solo drake level 2 without any risk of dying.

Get your blue buff done, depending of how your botlane is positioned do a pressure gank. Here 2 states if your bot isn't retarded : 1 - You killed one or both botlane -> you + bot move to drake 2- Ennemy bot lane just stepped back / flashed out -> you solo drake

In both case ward the river's bush before starting drake & get your bot ready to support you if ennemy's jungler try to come. You will have the advantage of summoner spells. Don't forget to stack with W every 2/3 hits if you don't play with Attack Speed runes. Profit & Win !

I'm sure Riot didn't intend this to happen, and that they'll probably give buffs to Dragon to make 1v1ing him early impossible, maybe Doubling his AD when there isn't more than person trying to kill him

First off, you're right. 3 is more than 2. So is the damage, HP, and armor of every single one of those champs that walks in on urlvl 2 pantheon THAT ALREADY HAS DRAGON AGGRO.

I'm not sure you're a jungler at all. Everyone knows smite has now a one minute CD. As I said as Pantheon lvl 2 you get your CD back right before dragon's hp are below 1k. Which means that the ennemy jungle is only doing his 2nd buff smiting it to get level 3 while you just killed the drake. Explain me how he can walk from his buff to drake instant ?

Also, I think it has been stated on this topic but you should check the warding trinket debate.

Or...

1-Ward Drake Against him. 2-Kill him when he's doing it (he'll most likely be alone) 3-Kill Drake 4-??? 5-Profit

Panth can take dragon and take NO damage at level 3. Go frog ==> blue ==> red. It's a MUCH better route, since it leaves him at level 3 and then he can either gank or take dragon if no ganks look viable.

1 min to being interrupt and got killed, so the "without any risk of dying" seems a bit exagerate >-<

Its cool and all but...why would anyone let you do this? Especially with scuttle crab and free ward trinkets?

Wow....

That is awesome

I wondered if there would be any fall out for reducing the attack speed of dragon

Now I know.

ShemsuHor11/24/2014, 10:51:47 PM2 votes

Pretty sure this is only cuz panth has been bugged for a long time. Maybe they changed how it functions and i missed it? idk.

Aegis Protection "After autoattacking or using an ability 4 times, Pantheon will block the next incoming turret attack or basic attack from an enemy champion, siege minion or large monster."

Aegis of Zeonia "Active: Pantheon leaps upon a target enemy unit within 600 range, dealing magic damage and stunning them for 1 second, while refreshing Aegis Protection.png Aegis Protection."

Panth's W used to just give you the aegis as it does now but your stacks were gone. The way it works now you can AA or skill til 2 stacks leap and repeat. He's op against anything that stands there and auto attacks him.

A buff the dragon would be nice... or a "later" spawn timer would be good too... Oh and... The dragon can get kited to death by 2 players by switching aggro constantly...

That needs to be fixed or something.... It's so pathetic (Facepalm)

Azir Azir is King of Baron. Pantheon is King of Dragon.

Don't worry, this strategy is being nerfed next patch.

Good to see the dragon change was thought through

LordAbaddon1211/24/2014, 7:38:44 PM1 votes

The simple fix to this would be to halve dragons auto damage but double its attack speed. That way pantheon doesn't have time to stack up his shield fast enough but the dps of the dragon remains the same. It also doesn't require touching pantheon and would still allow him to potentially sneak a dragon at a more reasonable point in the game.

its not Pantheon thats broken, its the new jungle and jungle items

You would try to ruin it for the rest of us.

There's a reason this is Preseason. It's like Rito says, they can't compare their testing to that of millions of players.

It will be fixed before the Season is live.

Funny enough I had no idea about this level 3 cheese until I had a Nunu in one game mention it. He proceeded to walk down to drag 30 seconds after Panth got there and smite/consumme stole it away.

Alderon WolfBane11/24/2014, 9:18:20 PM1 votes

Hey For those who don't know you can still juggle drag aggro and if done correctly you take no damage at all it's mostly do to the fact it attack's very slowly.

the way to do it is one person support/jungler (depends if you are blue or red side jungler on back of pit to keep him safe) goes back of drag pit and walk back and forth to drag.

Suggestion for patching this exploit up.

Have Dragon use a weaker but faster attack every now and then. It'll proc off Pantheon shields and fiora Riptostes.

Yup, panth is broken. better ban panth. And everyone else in this list.

Thryale11/24/2014, 9:53:44 PM1 votes

If panth, making LEGITIMATE use of all of his abilities with proper micro management to fight and kill drag at a low level is considered an EXPLOIT then juggling drag aggro between players so that no one gets hit is ALSO an exploit, using that same logic.

Using exploits is a bannable offense mate, and nothing here is a bannable offense. It's just a little bit of cheese due to drag being under tuned. That's it. We aren't injecting code or abusing game breaking bugs to win. Everything about that video is legit. Cheesy, but legit. So chill out.

Also, if anyone so much as looks at panth while he tries to do this and he'll instantly melt. Just sayin.
