"I am your death, I am Pantheon..."

With reworks to champions we sometimes see their titles change, Galio went from the 'Sentinel's Sorrow' to the 'Colossus' (for more obvious reasons) and Yorick went from the 'Gravedigger' to the 'Shepherd of lost souls'. Fiora back when she was reworked she saw a title change on the PBE but it was reverted if I remember correctly, even with Wukong's new lore, some would argue he is no longer a 'Monkey King'. But with Pantheon's new lore he literally referred to himself as "The spear of Targon", personally I would prefer this as his title, but that's just my personal preference without any justification as to why his current title "The Artisan of War" should be replaced. I'd like to know your thoughts on his title or any other champion, whose title you may like to see changed and why.

I feel that the title, "Artisan of War" is a bit inaccurate. I'll explain why. "War" is something usually thought of as a long and drawn out process, requiring great endurance and strategy to succeed in. Neither of these things are really seen in Pantheon's gameplay. He is a snowbally assassin who is rendered useless if he doesn't dominate early -- not exactly ideal for a war. If anything he would be the Artisan of Battle instead. But that doesn't sound quite as cool. I wouldn't mind it being changed.

It's also possible that a potential rework could turn him into something closer to a fighter class rather than an assassin, and thus being able to tough out those long games without falling off so hard.

Might have a little bit of title conflict with Kalista, the Spear of Vengeance, but all the same it sounds way better than Artisan of War.

I don't much care for "Spear of Targon" only because he is based off of Spartan warriors and the most dangerous weapon in their arsenal was the shield.

You could knock away their spear and sword, but if they still had their shield, they were going to kill you.

Artisan of war sounds more like a title for Aatrox ,so I think spear of Targon would be better for Pantheon.

I like Spear of Targon. And best thing about it, it doesn't reference that stupid space empire or him being an "Aspect" of anything. He's got a spear, and he's from Targon.

All is well.

Spear of Targon is less broad, so its probably better. I don't think Pantheon is Kratos just yet

The Spear of Targon is better than the Artisan of War, but I think Riot can come up with something better and more unique. I mean Kalista is the Spear of Vengeance. Maybe just the Aspect of War, since that is exactly his title in the lore.

Why not "Aspect of War"?
