People bitch and moan about Pantheon but don't even bother playing his counters

One of which is none other than Mordekaiser.

He bullies Pantheon harder and out-lasts his mana bar with his Iron Man shield.

Pantheon can't wear him down and if he gets fed up with chucking spears and wants to engage he gets a mace and a full W to the face.

And the best thing. Morde outscales Pantheon as well.

Yah guys, Pantheon has a counter in lane so you can't complain about him.

people say counter picking isnt a healthy mechanic of the game...

they wanna blindly pick any champ vs anything and have the game not be "anti fun" or "oppressive"

so they want it to be viable to go sona top vs panth and actually win and other stupid shit of the such

No one thinks that

a comment on a thread to me "OHminus" is the Op of the thread saying it counter picking isnt a healthy game design

so please tell me again that people dont think that... cuz this is one and many many more have shared their same opinion the topic is how to counter donger top lane. i told him pick galio to counter him this was his response

OHminus (NA) - a day ago Champ counter picking being the only gate from donger auto winning lane isn't balanced, especially if the heimer is allowed to pick after you.

That isn't healthy game design, although I agree that counterbuilding (while healthier, because it allows you options in game) is almost as unhealthy as counterpicking.

Counterplay in my book is being able to beat a certain champ by "outplaying" said champ (assuming the lane/game is even). If a champ, like Heimer, means an autolose in the lane for a champ like Garen/Darius/Sejuani in the top lane, that's unhealthy game design.

*so you're saying mordekaiser does have bulk *

contrary to "morde needs higher base stats and is weaker to poke in lane than ever"

While his stats are trash, his abilities make him decent vs. poke champs that need to blow through their mana bar to poke.

his base stats are lower to make up for the generous shield he has access too assuming he hits you first he flat out wins all early trades.

thats just champion mechanics.

assuming he hits you first

If you let him come to you you deserve to be trashed down tbh

Well, I need to start cloth armor and have 9 armor seals in my runes to beat pantheon.

well i just pick olaf/darius, if fire emblem taught me anything its that axe beats lance.

i hear rumble and shen are also alright.

the way i handle pantheon is to pick any champion that can start item 2033 same as he does or one who has a longer reach Q than he does.

Don't care what people say but Talon assrapes Panth in lane. If Talon lands both portion of W he will outtrade Panth every single time. W also outranges Panth's Q so Talon can always last hit with W and as well as get first W hit on Panth for free poke. Talon is stronger at level 2 but panth is stronger 3-5, post 6 Talon should be able to all in Panth once he's been poked enough; Blade's End does not even need to be procced.

I'm scared to play Mordekaiser because if I lose lane vs any melee I wont be able to forgive myself.

Counter picking = / = Counter play

I think you're being a bit biased because your main counters him so it doesn't affect you. Think you need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Panth bullies the shit out of the vast majority of top laners with very little effort and unavoidable damage. Also factor in that you don't always get the luxury of counterpicking your lane opponent

If the game was balanced around how a champion specifically fairs against our mains, it would be a pretty poor game. For example, even though Darius completely stomps my main in lane, I've actually defended him on multiple occasions. You gotta look at the champion as a whole as opposed to how it affects you directly

Playing his counters means you don't get to play what you want to play. And that makes people sad.
