When can we expect a Pantheon rework? :(

In my opinion he feels like one of the most outdated champs in terms of kit variety, outplay potential and fun. He's one of those point-and-click, stat-checking champs that Rito's been elimintaing from the game season by season. It seems they're fine with him, tho, since they keep releasing skins and balancing him (although they merely put him down whenever meta shifts make him stronger).

Will he be a part of the Diver Class update or will he get a rework on his own? Anything scheduled?

Yeah he's supposed to be a fighter, there's nothing about a Spartan that says "Assassin" to me... Hopefully they'll turn him around and make him more interesting

I personally think he just needs a visual update,and maybe a bit of game play tweaking,plus i think the game needs to keep some of its simple champion kits

Pantheon doesn't need a rework, but he could do with an visual update - like all old Champs.

Nothing scheduled, but I think he is classified under diver. If they do divers next they'd take a look at him for sure unless they decide on a VGU.

He -does- need a rework. Not because he's OP or anything, but like you said, his gameplay is very black and white and doesn't fit with what they just did to all the assassins. I would consider him sort of an assassin as well - he's designed to pick off squishy low HP targets that are separated from the team. He doesn't do well in the middle of a teamfight, given his single target and squishy nature and lack of escape and mobility.

He's a walking stat check where he point and clicks his stun and does a specific amount of damage, and very little opportunity for outplay, unless you have a dash or interrupt for his stun.

I don't have a problem with him, but he doesn't fit their design philosophy and I'd expect some significant changes in his near future.
