Pantheon needs a rework.

He's an old champion with an outdated kit, not to mention it's a toxic one. His Point and Click Q basically makes him a ranged champion, you literally cannot CS without taking 200 damage (10m into the game) from a spear every 2s. If he gets you low enough you get point and click stunned for 1s and he crits you with E because he's been poking you for the past 5m with Q's. His R is fine. Not to mention, why the fuck are his feet so large on his model??

don't know why you were downvoted. Wukong's outdated, and Wukong players want a rework.

I know he isn't op but the streamers who goes everywhere and scream he is a good pick, make people pick him and ruin his winrate cause they think he freeelo.

Wukong yes. Why Jarvan though? His kit is one of the ones which has aged the best in my opinion.

His kit is clunky and linear which people dont like.

We all prefer that Yasuo , don't we, now?

Not to mention most of champions right now can just screw his wall up either by dashing over it or destroy it like ornn xD

Have you ever played against J4 top who builds full lethality? He kills squishies faster than the original Rengar

item 1054 +early item 1029 s + Second Wind = what Pantheon ? If he gets you low you can just tp back to lane. Forfeit farm and outscale him. Getting Qd on cooldown is your fault.

TrikzterzArma5 votes

If he gets you low and you tp back to lane, he will also tp back to lane and poke you low again

im guessing if/when they rework him they'll make his q a skillshot seems logical

BEK Makadur2 votes

That would dumb imo as that is his identity. Skillshot stun would be better imo.

Chembaron Yamada7 votes

His identity? Isn't that a bit far fetched? The only thing that I really would call iconic in his kit is his blocking mechanic and maybe his crit on low health targets, but the rest is pretty basic.

I don't think that a champion should be defined by a simple point and click ranged damage spell...

Dreamer5296 votes

The mandrop is definitely iconic

TotalJerk4 votes

To be fair I want to point out that the minion aggro changes combined with the Doran's shield rework has made Pantheon's Q significantly less oppressive in lane.

Chembaron Yamada3 votes

There are alot of champions in dire need of that VGU. Personally, I hope that Dr. Mundo gets his turn as soon as possible.

you literally cannot CS without taking 200 damage (10m into the game) from a spear every 2s

If you used common sense youd know that resolve tree + dorans shield = Useless panth

Yeah he's a bit of a problematic champion, given the scope of his kit and how rather dated he is. He (and Morde) are the last champs with ridiculous feet.

Ya he is getting dusty

There are people who have gotten to challenger with him and his weaknesses are pretty obvious... So, it's not a terrible kit. If they rework him, they will probably keep the same idea of this dominant early monster that falls off later if you fuck up.

Someone clearly forgot about the recent nerf on Pantheon's Q where he draws minion aggro upon hitting a champ. His kit is fine, each champion in league of legends is unique. Each champion has it's strengths and weaknesses. It's up to you as a player to master this weaknesses, and adjust your playstyle to what the game is throwing at you.

I'm a tryndamere main, playing one of the oldest champions in league, who has never gotten a rework, low winrate champion, low tier in comparison to other champions. But I managed to get high elo with learning more about matchups, itemization and how to play to my strengths and weaknesses.

Eat those spears like a man!

He's the artisan of war but in lane he functions akin to Teemo lmao.

Cowgirl Ed1 votes

Except 90% of the champs shit on him in lane

Metallikaiser1 votes

I mean, I fully agree. But his point and click spear shouldnt be changed. Its the main thing I attach to him, its a good way to keep his bully playstyle and making him have a skill shot spear shot would be awful and unoriginal considering Nidalee and Kalista already both have one of those. Not to say they cant make him less BS, GP has basically the same spell yet his kit around it makes him feel pretty fair. Dont kid yourself into thinking Pantheon wont still be annoying though.

Snowman Arc1 votes

Yeah, Pantheon's kit is quite outdated but he is so iconic at what he does, that I don't think you can change. He's a noob friendly champion that's extremely strong early and falls off hard later.

Mega Annie X1 votes

there is nothing noob friendly about a champ with no way out and a very obvious only way in. Noob champs can build duskblade and hit their 1000 range instant dash to kill you with their moving aoe nuke.

4th3t0s1 votes

The change to single-targeted skills drawing minion aggro severely nerfed his early lane pressure; he's a lane bully, don't mess with him early.

Cowgirl Ed1 votes

Lol

FilDaFunk1 votes

Giant feet aside (you know what they say about those)

You are complaining that a lane bully is bullying you in lane.

nachocheeseeeee1 votes

Thematically he also doesn't make sense. What kind of Spartan fucking loses to almost melee champ in late game. He should be like a crazy duelist in the late game, or at least a master tactician at war.

Nanuk Pihoqahiak1 votes

He used to be pretty hard to deal with in some matchups. Since the new rune system, I haven't had a problem the few times I've seen him. Second Wind + Doran's Shield + potentially grasp + any sustain on the character makes him irrelevant. The minion changes were icing on his coffin.
