Pantheon can't be predicted at all

So as a top player whenever i am versus pantheon i expect nothing more than losing trades against him.Why you may ask? Level one all i will get will be tons of Q (which ofc has no cooldown or balanced damage)Then he has his passive(but ofc his W must give him those 4 passive stacks)as a result all your effort for combos goes to nothing.NONE of his abilities apart from his ultimate are predictable.For example; Garen can be predicted to silence you as you'll see him speed up holding his blade forward.Jax will start to spin his lamp above his head which makes you prepare for impact,Yasuo is covered with wind which means he can possibly know you up.Darius has 3-4 stacks on you which makes you prepare yourself so you can escape his 5th hit ect!

As a result a good pantheon fix should make his W a 2 part ability...the one being the leap and the second one after 0.5 sec to be the stun.Tell me your thoughts below

In Q range? Press Q. In W range and already poked a little bit? Press W.

It can't get much more predictable than that.

If he's spamming Q at level 1 he's just going to oom himself before getting anything done, if it's working for him then it means you need armor, start cloth 4 and spam laugh as he wastes all his mana.

You could also counter pick him with tank Karma, the heal from her empowered W negates his poke and roots him at the same time since he doesn't have any defensive mobility, can be great to set up ganks too.

Maybe play panth in a custom or practice mode and learn his ranges, or maybe try to find a decent (in your opinion) counter to him in lane.

Honestly tho, it's kind of dumb to say he predicted since you can easily figure out what he wants to do in lane if you've played versus even one pantheon. Hell, you have the general idea written down already, now you just need to actually apply it in game.

The problem might not actually be just panth, but your mental when it comes to an enemy panth being locked in. Get over that and pay attention to what they want to do, the learn how to play around it with whatever champs you pick into him.

Not everything is cut and dry

also, junglers are good vs panth, since he's an all in champ once he has his abilities. just bait and wait and call for ganks.

So yeah.
