Pantheon feels awful

Old main pantheon here on other accounts from S5/S6, and i can't be the only one that feels like Pantheon feels awful. Compared to his older kit. In lane he's awfully bad IMO, his old match ups that were once good feel 10x worse, whilst the bad matchups now feel unwinnable. He feels clunky, his damage is lackluster and very dependant on having 5 stacks up, and i honestly preffered his old Ulti with a circle+AoE Slow for engage...

I'm very biased as i loved old pantheon and also despise nearly all of riots reworks, most of the champions reworked i haven't touched again. ( Graves, Zac, Yorick. )

Feels like the rework was simply " lets make him look and sound cool as possible, with amazing animations but not focus on his gameplay at all. ", he feels alot like an unwrapped present, that has nothing in. Looks amazing and exciting, but deep down feels bad.

Tbh ur W is ur best move and you should almost always go press the attack. New Q is a finisher/auto reset in trades, nothing more.

Well, I mean he has more utility beyond just killing people now. That has to count for something.

He has slightly more Poke and can play a more diverse role, such as frontlining, sure. but apart from that i don't see much difference.

He's not a top laner anymore imo

Jungle Panth is slated for a buff, they're micropatching in some improvements to monster damage with his abilities.

I think they should really consider adding the slow back on his ult. Or making his E block on-hit effects so he doesn't get blinded by Teemo with his E up.
