My idea for a reworked Pantheon's kit

Cunky··3 votes·501 views

I think that somewhere Riot said that if a champion felt bad to play against or unfair then they would be eligible for a rework. Pantheon seems like the perfect target for a rework.

I feel like if he got reworked him being a gladiator should be explored more, so that his auto attacks are more important than to proc duskblade. It would make him more of a duelist and not an assassin. Also, he still has the Targon aspect of him, but he isn't a possessed person. He's the warrior for Targon.

My proposed rework kit (take this with a grain of salt since I'm not on the balance team and don't know what would be healthy for the game):

Passive:Whenever you take damage from an enemy champion, you deal (1-3-5-7-9)% increased damage to that one champion, but deal (5-4-3-2-1)% decreased damage to any other champions you damage in that duration. (Scales off levels 1-4-9-14-18) (Lasts for 10 seconds before not being able to be procced for another 10 seconds)

Q: Passive: Your auto attacks and abilities deal (10-20-30-40-50) adaptive increased damage towards "Vulnerable (like Brittle but you do more damage)" champions. Active: Increases attack speed by (10-15-20-25-30)%. Also, every 3rd auto attack makes an enemy champion "Vulnerable." Lasts for 8 seconds.

W: (its a skillshot) dash forward, dealing damage to anything in your path. If you hit an enemy champion, it makes them "Vulnerable" and it deals (10-20-30-40-50) attack damage. (range of a slightly longer Quinn E)

E: Melee Range: You stab your spear through the enemy's foot, rooting them for (1-1.2-1.4-1.6-1.8) seconds, and dealing (30-50-70-90-110) attack damage. If they are "Vulnerable," it roots them for (2-2.2-2.4-2.6-2.8) seconds, dealing (60-100-140-180-220) adaptive damage. Ranged Range: You throw your spear, knocking the enemy back, dealing (10-20-30-40-50) attack damage, rooting them for (.5-.6-.7-.8-.9) seconds. If they are "Vulnerable," it deals (20-40-60-80-100) adaptive damage and roots them for (1-1.2-1.4-1.6-1.8) seconds. (Range of Pantheon's current Q)

R: (only usable on "Vulnerable" people) Summon the power of Targon to launch you into the sky to land on a single enemy, knocking them up, and dealing "50-100-150" adaptive damage. (cooldown: 35-25-15 seconds). (range of a level 1 Ryze ult, range never is increased).

I feel like this would make a more splitpush oriented Pantheon and not an unwinnable lane bully Pantheon. As I said at the beginning, take this with a grain of salt, since I'm not on Riot's rework team and I wouldn't know whats good for the game.

Looks good! People complain about the Q, but in my opinion his passive is what makes him super frustrating especially as an avid Renekton player.

So what happens if I take press the attack? Does that make them vulnerable x2?

Ok sure but why1 votes

If you need to fight someone to make them vulnerable, an ult that INITIATES fights is just dumb

but eh

It's not really an initiator since it can only be used on vulnerable people, more of a tool to stop annoying things like Tristana R-W (or other things)
