Pantheon, the Artisan of War.((Ability Revamp idea)No stat depth involved)

Blitzidious··2 votes·607 views

So, for the most part, Pantheon is in good shape in the league, but his kit isn't what I personally would call amusing. This is my idea of the ideal kit for the Artisan. PASSIVE: Aegis Protection: Unchanged. I see nothing wrong with his passive. It's a good chunk of his early game power, and so I see no reason why it should be changed. Q: Spear Shot: Upon activation, Pantheons next basic attack will hurl his spear at an enemy, dealing physical damage and applying on hit effects. At max rank, activating Spear Shot gives pantheon a stack of Aegis protection. Does not stop the enhanced basic attack from giving a stack. Also, slight increase in range. maybe, 650. This might give him more late game power as well as opening up options for more items. W: Aegis of Zeonia: Now deals physical damage and scales with AD. This gives him more reliable damage sources. Not saying he lacked any. E: Heartseeker Strike: Unchanged. Passive and all, remains unchanged. Heartseeker Strike is possibly, in my opinion, why Pantheon is still a viable champion. R: Grand Skyfall: Shortened take off time, lowered radius, and deals INCREASED DAMAGE the closer enemies are to the center, instead of reduced damage the further they are from the center. Damage, damage damage. More damage, more skill involved with choosing where to land, and overall is more reliable.

Hopefully people do see this, as I would greatly enjoy seeing the opinions of others. So please, anyone that does see this, please type what you think below.

Pantheon has targeted abilities and can delete a squishy with nothing but a brutalizer. His damage isn't his problem.

Plus his stun its a stun for the enemy and his self..

"So, for the most part, Pantheon is in good shape in the league." Never said anything about his damage being the problem, as it is immediately apparent, from playing with as or against, he can and will delete people, but primarily in the early game. By late game, you either build full damage, (not viable) Tank, (not viable) or bruiser (for the most part, the only viable way to play him in the late game.) My idea was to give him more AD scaling, so he still could dish out the damage required, because as most people know, AP Panth isn't all that viable, it's mostly for giggles. The changes on his ult, I mean, come on, lets be honest here, how many times can you say that hitting someone in the center of that thing was skill, how many times? :P Making it smaller, making his charge up time shorter, allows for more creative thinking and strategy with it, instead of "put big green circle behind them and hope there dumb enough to stand in it".

E: How about they make it say deals 50% damage to minions. And while they're at it, let him be able to move himself and the skill direction while casting. Also change that name to something about a lot of hits. You don't seek hearts by blindly thrusting your stick forward.

And if they do change the name, make Q heart seeker strike. That's more accurate. I'm kinda joking around about E. It's a strong skill but there could be more to it than just an ability that channels to do damage. Because I see lots of Panths max Q for that trade able harass damage. If the Q became more of an AA modifier, then E should be a max-worthy ability.

I like this little rework, even though it really doesn't seem to be warranted enough. Makes his Q more fun.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. :P I like your idea about being able to move while casting his heartseeker strike, I could see it working similar to Lucians ult, with, of course, drastic differences, and the moving the skill direction would be very interesting as well. Too bad that riot will most likely never do something like that. :(

I don't understand why he needs changes. His kit isn't amusing enough for you? That is a poor reason IMO.

Personal opinions. I never said he 'needed' changes. "So, for the most part, Pantheon is in good shape in the league," I had an idea, and I had a source that I could type it out on, as well as share it, to see what others think about this. And yes, I did type that his kit isn't what I would call all that amusing, but that was just, I guess, a 'foundation' of typing this discussion. I do enjoy his kit, don't get me wrong, but I do feel there could be much more to be desired.
