Pantheon, nobody will ever say it... but everyone thinks it.

Pantheons passive is just far too strong in the current meta. We don't see much Pantheon jungle like we used to, but for a good reason. In the current meta with his armor shredding E, constant low mana Q poke, and an absolutely RIDICULOUS passive that counters ANY ad based top laner to where they lose at least a 3rd of their dmg, there would be no smarter place to play him.

You can say that maybe i'm just complaining after losing to a pantheon in lane... and that's true. He single handed won the game by himself for his team. But wait.... THERE'S MORE!

I played my own spree of pantheon games. I felt like I was playing against bots.. and it was in gold 1, almost platinum 5. I had a game with 30 kills, and they didn't stand a chance. In the top lane vs pantheon, champs like Riven, most long cd tanks, Kled, Fiora, etc. don't stand a chance. Against a Riven, i blocked 3 of her empowered autos with my passive during an extended 1 on 1 fight. As good as mechanics as she had, the fight went in my favor without even a hope of getting me to 25% health for her.

Not to mention, a tf ult that has an aoe blast, with a long range stun and gun. Panths 3 main abilites are able to one shot a squishy, now add in his ult and it's literal mayhem for whoever he drops upon. His map control from his ult alone is something to think about.

Right now, he sits as the highest win rated champion in the top lane at 54%.

Maybe something should change soon. Until then, I'll enjoy my free elo.
