Why Pantheon is getting nerfed?
Pantheon atm is doing bad in the jungle! and in top lane he cant do much if the enemy is not stupid to pick some squishi melee top!
So why riot gutting his E? what the reason behind that?

This is Pantheon's first & only game of the LCS 2016, and Riot got pissed because they were expecting the normal LC$BigPlay Sheeps 
.
Zed has counterplay (and he'll probably be nerfed soon). A pantheon that jumps on you with his E maxed, with Thunderlord and with the current AD itemization is a nightmare with no escape, you're dead.
Why nerf Pantheon, then buff Renekton in the same patch? I don't get it at all.
Because he is a click to win champ, his lane poke can make him a nightmare and with the current AD items he does more than well, also with the proper runes and masteries he does more than ok in the JG, the nerf is very small anyways, it will prevent him from snowballing as hard as he does now.
That's a really good question.
Pantheon gets nerfed but Zed does not, nicely done Riot....
People complain but lack counterplay
I wouldn't call it 'gutted,' just hit hard.
Do also keep in mind that his R cost got lowered by 25 at all ranks, which is huge early on for counterganking lanes.
I don't know, he's an early game champ and we're in an early game meta so it's natural to deduct that he would be somewhat stronger. He doesn't need nerfs, he already falls of at lvl 6 in the 1v1 aspect though gainining alot of map pressure and playmaking capabilites.
Honestly, he's been impopular for a while due to the nature of his scaling, I say let the baker have some time in the limelight, he's already loaded with counterbuild and counterplay and does not need a nerf.
