The sad part is that he has been this way for months now. He just doesn't fit into the 'poke' metagame everyone is raging about these days.

Woah. Hi there, Pr0ffessional. Also, I agree with this person's agreement to the original post created by The ODonnell himself about Pantheon's current state of dominance. However, he does drop off fairly quickly once players get some armor, and he isn't all that amazing in team fights.. but he definitely has some serious impact on game-play.

Can he stay behind the your caster creeps and not get aggro from incoming waves? it's not 100% xp denial, just some of it, if he's just there and you haven't auto attacked any creeps then his creeps will just overrun yours and you can tower hug a bit. Try morgana versus him mid =p, alt+E everytime he jumps, then profit.

yea I remember this conversation. L0CUST was 10-1 or something and carrying his team then, teamfight and he cant do anything. If you dont end the game in 25 minutes as pantheon, you become fairly useless.

mmmm no if u run in a striaght line away from he will lose ground on u if u have the same speed boots animation cancelling works but its no where near as effective as it was in dota

He does become balanced lategame, but the damage done and map control early game should have given your team enough dragons and buffs to basically faceroll the keyboard and win

Pantheon's pretty much a counter to the Poke metagame if the entire enemy team isn't made of pokes. He can land on/behind the poke line, make them scatter, and drop one of the pokers. Assuming of course, he got fed early. Which, in my experience is almost a guarantee.

Also, Pokes are on their way out the door, most of them have been nerfed. It's time for the "no one dies in a team fight because they all have so much HP and natural healing so nothing ever gets done" meta to come back.

How's it goin L0CUST
Yea panth drops off pretty fast, but if he does his thing you've got a long ways to come back against the other team in general.
