Pantheon Support
How does Riot think old-Panth mains feel now that he is most optimally used as a Support?

Where exactly are you seeing these results? Not a single website I visited (champion.gg, op.gg, League of Graphs, etc.) has any credible or reliable evidence to show that support Pantheon is stronger than top, mid, or jungle.
It also doesn't make much sense given that he can't consistently peel and his poke is weak early game. Maybe his all-ins are strong early with PTA but I honestly just don't see support Pantheon being that good, definitely not to the point where it's meta and unbeatable.
It's very underrated if you ask me. I can't imagine playing him any other way frankly. My main issue with him is that he falls off so fucking hard post 25 minutes that if the game goes that long you better not be any other role dragging your team down. If I turn into just a cc bot late game then I better not be taking up a role that someone else could carry from.
His mana costs also aren't very high and I found I could spam spears for easy harass early game and the shield on his E is O fucking P for peeling and defending your adc, or tower diving. Incredibly safe laning.
Pantheon support has a lower winrate than pantheon adc. Idk about more optimal(source:https://u.gg/lol/champions/pantheon/build?patch=9_17&role=support note: patch 9.17 used due to 9.18's current minuscule sample size.)
Can CC, protect ADC similar to a Braum except, that he takes no damage while doing so, execute+poke with Q, and roaming capabilities ult. I can't say, that it's impossible. 2 skills are great for support, and 1 suboptimal. Many support goes mid roam. Especially, if they win lane.
I'm a support main and in the instances where I've autofilled the jungler role with him, I've run roughshod over the enemy without much issue.
Sounds more like user error on your part.
