Big opportunity for Pantheon VGU and Chroma

Garentheon·Jul 21, 2017·3 votes·697 views

is sitting on a great opportunity. See, you have some fans that still want him to look like a Spartan after his VGU. Him being a Spartan is a trope LoL used when it was less original and had less of a world/style. He obviously is not that, he's the Targonian Aspect of War. Not a Spartan. This game does'nt take place in Greek mythology

But these "Spartan" fans can still be satisfied. See, he has a Myrmidon skin. Myrmidons were Greek soldiers in Greek mythology. So that skin is kind of stuck to having that "sword and sandal" look that some of these fans want. So here is where the big opportunity comes in. With his VGU, include a Chroma pack for the Myrmidon skin and have one of the colors be the same colors as his current base skin. Boom. That old that some don't want to get rid of lives on.

when they give Pantheon his VGU

the only skins that will get the least affected are Dragonslayer, Slayer and Baker with their splashes slightly modified to reflect his new appearance

I bet he will look like a sparta again but with some majestic twists like he has some celestial aspects. for ex. a cape that has stars or constellations(see cosmic rakans cape) because he is now not a normal human being but a celestial being and targon has its own theme, the celestial/space theme and by mixing sparta warrior+celestial aspects is a unique way to introduce pantheon in runeterra and not some generic kinda warrior.

I'm pretty sure we already have an idea of what he'll look like from possibly two sources.

"A cloud passed in front of the sun, allowing the warrior to be seen more clearly. He was bedecked in armor of archaic design, though his arms and legs were bare and tautly muscled. His cloak was deep crimson, though in the twilight it seemed as if stars gleamed in the shimmering fabric. That starlight also glittered in his unrelenting gaze, shadowed within the visor slits of his helm." - The Spear of Targon

Unless they plan on changing this bit in his lore, it's how he'll look.

The other possible source is the season 5 theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbx3tYYn5kA

No.

A god of war doesn't need to show people how big his dick is by overly dressing up like someone who thinks it looks cool. A god of war should be designed as an efficient soldier.

Because war is fought by soldiers damn it. People trained and disciplined in their art.

Pantheon doesn't have to look super spartan, but he needs to look like someone who won't fall over because of his own weight in weaponry. We have Mordekaiser for that.

"but he needs to look like someone who won't fall over because of his own weight in weaponry"

No one is suggesting that he be heavily armored. I certainly don't want that

You haven't really suggested what he should be like, just "god of war". Most renditions of a "god of war" are usually hilariously over the top.

See, you keep reading "god of war". No one said "god of war". "God of war" makes you think of those things you've mentioned but no one is saying those words. Targonian Aspect of War is something different than "god of war".

The team has worked hard to make their own word and style. And they've been crushing it. They don't stick to basic tropes and we all love them for it. Lets trust and see what they can do when they get their hands on Pantheon .

And as for suggestions I was actually thinking of him taking notes from his fellow Aspects. Sleek (not bulky) armor like Diana, with a bit bit more rugged look. Maybe a bit of hair coming out from the back of his helmet (just a bit). And I really think he should be sleeveless. Maybe small armbands, but definitely nothing else. Show how broad his shoulders are and how taught his muscles are as well. The sleeveless will set him apart from the other Aspects in showing how he is the most "fighter" and "about the battle" than the others

But we can pretty be pretty sure with what heme they will do on Panth, cause of his Targonian lore. And I think no one suggesting to make him a tin can with spear. He should be quite armored, but not too much. I'm thinking like Fiora-feel of armored, but with more metalic parts than cloth parts of Fiora. With heavy addition of cosmic stuff. Like cape and etc.

As long as the not-space parasite skin was made available for purchase. Sure, I'd be ok with this solution.

Just so long as I don't have to deal with playing as the wannabe deity, and get good old Lakedaemonian fun. I'm good.

I am almost positive Pantheon new look is only going to be a modification, similar to Warwick (where any 'god parts' that are added are like the tubes that were added to ww) aka basically the same. After all we have a sufficient evidence in lore that supports his spartan look will stay.
