Quick Idea for the Pantheon Rework

I know that ideas for champion reworks are normally supposed to go to other boards due to them mostly being based around the gameplay or design, however, I would like to give you an unrelated idea.

Our current Pantheon is inhabiting the body of a warrior named Atreus, so, what if instead of just retconning what you need to to make him a more interesting character, why don't you KILL Atreus? Sounds a bit weird, but considering that there are millions of pantheons across the Targonian empire and another Pantheon would be chosen if you killed him, so it would still work with as the same character, Atreus is probably mostly just a shell at this point so having the new Pantheon and their host both be capable of conversation and banter as they go would be a really interesting idea. Anyways, just thought I would say something since I think this could be interesting.

The reason why Atreus was so fleshed out, is because he will have a role to play in the lore more than just being the vessel. A lot of in game taunts are directed at Atreus opposed to Pantheon actually: Urgot "You died the moment you let yourself be controlled by a god!" (this one doesn't have to be directed but it still leans toward Atreus imo) Camille "Good luck in your next incarnation." @Pantheon Taric "Oh look the Aspect everyone hates." @Pantheon AurelionSol "Your fate was sealed the moment you picked up Targon's spear." @ Atreus

So I am expecting some level of banter between Atreus and Pantheon.

There aren't multiple Pantheons but rather multiple Aspects of war that share the same network/ entity known as the 'essence of war'. So what I'm hoping for in the future, we have another Aspect of War champion, from a different planet. Some info on previous Pantheons would be cool too (though these wouldn't be able to become champions) a Pantheon in the body of a Killash sounds OP.

possible but I hope not. Atreus was the only thing in Pantheons lore I liked.

Hated the body hopping space parasite stuff.

Kind of a side note but I really hope they change a lot of his visuals, He's a pretty generic spartan character, he can be so much more.

Atreus has to be kept. Like Kegan Rhodes.
