For when you do a Pantheon VU Riot (With poll)

I believe that Pantheon should ditch the giant shield. Yes the shield. Now, I know I am going to get flamed, but I think that the shield obscures Pantheons identity as a Champion. Instead of a being the bad ass Warrior/Baker from Mt. Targon, hes just a reference to the 300 movie. I think that a smaller shield, like a buckler, would fit Pantheon and his role as a skirmisher. The buckler would fit his identity better because of how his way of life is, you must be strong and swift if you wish to live on Mt. Targon. The Big shield doesn't cut it, it makes him look like a run of the mill solider fresh out of Sparta. The small shield would give him a leaner, much more scrappy look that currently fits his kit. ( Possibly give him more leather armor than just a full breastplate?) Any thoughts on this?

Where is the "this is a horrible idea" voting option ?

Well saying no is saying 'this is a bad idea' in a nutshell, so if you don't like it just say no dont change Pantheon on the poll. The poll shouldn't be the important thing. Your opinion is what interests me.

....he is pretty much well-known to be one of those champs who jumps to the sky and lands a hard boom while yelling "SPARTA!!".

As I said in the post, being a reference to the Spartans obscures his identity as a whole, and there is a lot of room to play around with in terms of being a character. I understand that Mt. Targon is in itself a reference to Greek culture, but compared to Leona or Diana, he just falls short in terms of being unique. Pantheons lore says hes a paragon of his people, and it shows that the League of Legends is a insult to war, which is think is pretty bland and does not bring much purpose to his reason to why he is the League of Legends. I feel that Pantheon has a lot of potential to become a character of his own, and not just a reference.
