Light Pantheon Rework

@Riot So with the whole Mt Targon backstories and lore updates and what will likely be the addition of our favorite gem warrior to the great mountains story, I thought it would be cool if possibly our good spartanesque warrior who just got an awesome back story got an awesome touch up and update.

First off want to start by saying his model and kit are not bad but certainly aren't up to leagues current standards and I also realize that Riot has a huge plate full currently with Taric, Yorick and the mage update currently in progress. But I thought it would be cool to toss around some ideas for the new pantheon.

So first the visuals since that should be quick. I think the whole pantheon of warriors spirit embodying a person is a really cool concept but the current pantheon doesn't reflect this lore nor does his weaponry. In his new backstory, his spear is said to be almost celestial and special type of spear only used by The Pantheon. Currently his spear right now is nothing more than your generic spear. So perhaps something along the line's of Imperius's spear from Diablo. Pantheon deserves a weapon as unique as Imperius does if he embodies the celestial collection of greatest targonian warriors don't you think? Also his shield could be an actual circle instead of the decagon or dodecagon it currently is and could even carry some sort of mystical symbol of the pantheon that it hales from or even a targonian symbol to show its loyalty. As for the rest of his visuals, I think that riot could quickly update his model to look a bit more "humanoid" and less tall hobbit with the feet to stomp cities. His armor speaks simple normal spartan soldier replicate so perhaps make it almost glisten or radiate like the sun and celestial body that The Pantheon came from. Perhaps almost a glowing crimson armor with markings or etchings harking back to the empire, Targon, it serves.

Gameplay: So to be honest pantheon has a pretty unique kit that flows together pretty solidly which is to be praised considering how old he is and how well hes stood up. But perhaps a few tweaks, mainly to his Q and W (and no we would NOT change his Q to a skill shot) would put strategic diversity and interesting gameplay to him.

So first his Q: So like I said before, you keep his Q as a target-able ability but we increase the range ever so slightly. Now hear me out because here's the fun part: the new mechanic you could add to his spear would be that it deals more damage the FURTHER its thrown. Similar to a real thrown spear that would gain more momentum and velocity if thrown at maximum range, his new Q would have a scaling or possibly incremental damage increase the further from him it is thrown. This way Pantheon still retains his poke in lane and bullying prowess but now has to think about to I want to be out of range of CS and simply poke my opponent down or do I want to get in close quarters, and deal a bit less damage for harassing but keep farming minions.

W: This one I believe could use the most rework. So I believe one cool idea would be that his shield bash would now instead of stunning people would work like a smaller poppy wall slam. So Pantheon activates his W, he then jumps to his enemy bashing them with his mighty shield. The opponent is then knocked back a small distance that would set them at intermediate range for his Q. The opponent would then be dazed and slowed for a brief period of time but Pantheon would also automatically reactivate his passive. From here pantheon would have a number of decisions, he could either A) throw a spear at medium range for a decent amount of damage and go back to what he was doing B) wait for his opponent to run away to maximum Q range and try to land a spear at maximum range for maximum damage C) use the space you've created behind you and your opponent to make a hasty retreat because you've been in battle for too long

The rest of the kit would remain fairly the same BUT one cool think I think that could make his E seem a bit more visual appeasing is if he called in a celestial or spiritual group of solidiers on his flanks to help jab more spears rather than flail his by himself to help fit with his lore more. As for his ult, lets be honest that Ultimate is one of the most satisfying things in league and should be left the way it is :).

This is a work in progress but would love community and @Riot/@Riotgames feedback
