For both top and jg. People have told me he was alright, though i'm looking for a more in-depth analysis, if I may say so. Plan to bring him to ranked. I'm currently... silver III, on a big loosing streak that made me go from almost silver I (multiple promos) to 20 LP one rank Under. So yeah, would he be a Wise choice for me to try to carry my games?

Still falls off late game. So he'll win lane, but won't be strong enough late game to bring anything special. If he's jungling though he should've snowballed the carry lanes so he's helping to finish the game.

Personally I call him my main and I adore him. He's tough to play against and you can really shut someone down hard early game. The notion that he falls off late game just flat out isn't true. He does take some getting used to though. He doesn't really play like a fighter or an assassin.

Is that in lane or jungle, though?

In lane. My duo partner is a jungle main so I rarely jungle.

And the kid's still got it better than anyone, ever. Evelynn, Skarner, Rengar, Yi, Cthumu, Aatrox, Shyvana, Diana, Kayle, Nocturne...I've got 'em all down cold. Eleven champs mastered and counting, because I can.

Not that there isn't a lane at which I'm not at least competent and have a minimum of two champs down hard for the roles I don't normally play. Heck, the first time I top-laned was with (pre-rework) Mordekaiser, and you remember that. And I hate top-laning, feels so lonely.

Where'd you find this post, my man? 2 months' a while, you shouldn't've stumbled on it. Also I didn't know cthulhu was a champ now.

SpartanDioxide is my little brother, and I'm his duo partner he mentioned in his previous post. I didn't realize the boards notified of replies to replies (you know, to other people). I meant to just reply to him. I'm sorry if that caused some confusion. I'm not a regular on the boards.

Cthumu (not a typo) is the name I affectionately give to Amumu, someone I play when a tank jungler's called for in a composition, hence "The Call of Cthumu" pun. I had so much success with him during the "tank meta" phase, I started using that nickname.

Still has a great laning phase carrying into the middle game if he gets kills. Late game he's basically used for a stun, catches, or engages. He can't do much outside of that, especially if the opponent has good peel.

I've played him exclusively in the jungle for quite a while now (as part of my large pool of junglers, lol); he's definitely a strong choice. Like most junglers, he's not that useful if you fall behind, but he's a great ganker and early duelist if you play your passive effectively. I'll give more detailed suggestions if you want them, but here's just a few: build the warriors enchant and include Randuins Omen in your build (you will need some survivability); you should be looking to gank bot lane as soon as you hit level 6 (it greatly helps if you have an ashe and/or leona on your team to help set it up); and lastly, Pantheon counters Lee Sin at every stage of the game. Unless you and he have a huge skill and he outplays you super hard, he shouldn't be able to fight you, ever. Strongly consider picking him if the enemy takes Lee

Pantheon in the jungle is probably better than in lane. Even though lane Pantheon gets more farm, he can only suppress 1 enemy: your enemy laner. Then he falls off in terms of safety though his burst damage doesn't really fall off.

Jungle Pantheon can suppress every lane, snowball hard carry lanes and get fed himself, so that the game is much easier.
