How do I jungle as Pantheon?
I've only played him for a few games, and I can't jungle with him properly. How do I gank with him? How do I play in a team fight? What's so great about this champion?
I need help with how to use his ult properly, too =)

DarkSentinel,
From what I've seen, honestly, the best way to gank is to use the ult behind a pushed lane. now that they have so little time to react to the circle showing up, between you having a stun, and whatever cc your lane has, it's hard to screw up a gank with him. If you play nocturne, its a similar concept.
Also, I do have a pair of Diamond friends that do free coaching.
One of them is a jungle/support main, so I'm sure she'd be able to give you advice.

Swing by and say hi!

Pros:
- Point-and-click stun (W)
- Point-and-click damage (Q)
- Guaranteed crits on enemies >15% health
- Can block basic attacks and turret shots every use of W and on every 4th auto-attack/ability
In short, a jungler with pretty good damage mitigation for farming and very easy to gank lanes with, on account of no skillshots to aim (E has a wide angle of hit).
Cons:
- Needs to build like a bruiser to avoid getting deleted, unless you're really REALLY fed :P
- His ult, namely in where to aim it and WHEN TO USE IT. Also the enemy can run out of the circle indicator of your ult.
If you're building heavy damage, you're better off waiting for an ally to initiate a fight before you use Grand Skyfall. Aim behind pushed enemy laners and in the middle of teamfights, but not if you would put yourself into a 1v3-5 (unless you can and will destroy them).
In teamfights, lockdown the carry and aim to kill.
Hmm I have never Jungled with Panth in the new Jungle and im generally just a really bad jungler, but! i do watch when other people jungle.
Played with this really good panth jung, he went with long sword and 3 pots instead of machete. Said he doesnt like the jungle items on panth.
When he ganked he would come in and if they didnt use their escapes he would Q then E, he would save his Stun for when they used their escapes or got out of range of his AA's. Ganking with panth is pretty easy with his point-click stun, if your laner is any sort of competent they will act on this.
The ultimate is a bit weird there are many diffrent ways to use it, to deal damage, to catch, to scare, etc.
Lets take an example of your bot lane is being pushed to your turret.
If you ult on them, they will run backwards and away.
If you ult behind them they will probably just dive your laners and then turn on you.
Both situations have their pros and cons actually. If they run away then you just saved your lane but at the cost of your ult. If your lane is good they will work with you to pincer the opponents, if they are bad all three of you will die most likely.
Another situation would be, the enemy is taking your turret and no one can stop them in time except for you.
You can ult right on them and scare them away from the turret or ult behind them and kill them.
In situation one, you saved the turret but lost your ult. In situation two you killed the enemy but lost your turret. Its dependent on the situation of who it is taking the turret. If its the Jungler or ADC you might want to kill them, then start taking objectives. If its support or tank then maybe saving the turret is a better situation.
