@Ironstylus Regarding Panth's eventual VU

I just saw that new spread for the preseason and I smell Pantheon VU somewhere in the eventual but NOWHERE near future .

I say the Vest shows promise but there are a couple parts of the design which kind of puts me off.

Let me summarize them 1 by 1:

The Glove: Pantheon has bracers not gloves. and he has 'em on both arms. I think this is a bit important to keep. as for gloves, I think they can be separated from the Bracers, maybe bandages wrapped over his hands, it would give him a grittier look too.

Shield Size: It looks like it became smaller. I know you want to showcase his new model and all, but the concept of the Phalanx-type shield he has is the fact that he can cover most of his body with it. I hope animators are up to the task of giving him "multiple stances" to really showcase this while also keeping his movements fluid and 300-esque.

The Sandals (since we can't see it): This is just too iconic, I hope you don't change this... EVER.

Some embellishments I would not be sad to see:

Epaulettes/Shoulder/Upper Arm plating: Just like Kratos' Golden Fleece, it gives him much needed sturdiness and could also make him look more intimidating.

**A sword: **Having an off-hand weapon would be cool.

***An extra spear/reloader:***Like how Sivir's weapon show's how it "re-loads", Pantheon chucks his spears, it would be nice to see it reload/return to him like Kalista's.

Hope you read this~

P.S. Sad I couldn't post before BC Skarner went live... I still had Qualms over his tail...

While I don't agree with some of points, Im also a fan of Pantheon getting a VU.

I wouldn't mind his shield being smaller. I see him more as an offensive fighter who doesn't need a large shield.

The underwear/speedo thing he's got going on is not cool imo and it doesn't fit the theme with Leona and Diana.

Same with the sandals. Imo, some may disagree, he has no business wearing sandal. Especially in his Dragonslayer skin where he's battling fire breathing dragons with his toesies out.

A sword, in general, would be cool. But he doesn't use one. And we don't need another champion with a useless side weapon ( looking at you Malzahar)

I had a discussion here you might like to read. Or not. Up to you.
