Tips Against Pantheon in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
SesaPrime says “Very brutal pre-lvl 6. Pantheon is GOING to fight you alot. The champions that are just reckless fighters are the reason why Dark Kamille was born. He does out-damage you early & has a huge powerspike early. Please be careful. ”
Reines Kokosfett says “If you get dismounted early he can burst you with W. Try to rush Steelcaps. You win all ins if you are both full health, but if you are at half health or less he can brust you.”
lorensj81 says “He has very high damage, so be careful fighting him early. Armor and HP is needed to not get killed easy. Do not use your Q+E+R into his shield if you stand infront of him because that negates all damage. So silence with Q before using R to be sure he can't shield it all.”
Ulamog says “Conqueror Build; Second Wind + D Blade.
Second wind since he can poke you with Q'S, but we still wanna go aggressive in this lane with D Blade + Ignite. We want to parry his W ofc.
After 6 you outdamage him big time, since he cannot use his R in the fight.”
stefanko says “Try to get prio level 1, you win trades if you manage to walk up to him, ideally you wanna get behind him to start the trade, so he has to run into you. Once you get level 2, make sure to not q him if he has w, or he is gonna win trade easily. Once you get 6 you win all ins, cause you have combat ult and he doesnt. (lethal tempo)”
Zeffie says “Pantheons can be stopped quite easy, even if he puts his invuln towards you you can still proc W and E stacks with your autos leading to an easy stun once he finishes, just be cautious for the empowered dash”
dzsama says “Be careful about his empowered W as that can hurt quite a bit when he combos in his other abilities. When he uses his E, Q behind him to be able to deal damage to him. You still outscale him so you should be fine if you don't int the lane. Early armor helps a decent bit.”
LeyzeHP says “(Top/Jng) Pick Grasp or Conqueror. In the toplane you can destroy him, zone him from minions at lv.1, hold passive stacked and if he walks up you can just Q2 AA(leap) E Q W W2 and you won the trade really hard.
In the jungle it's harder, he has a stun tap and he's really a menace since he can ipotetically oneshot you, death's dance is a really good item and spamping your laners after his 6 to not overextend. In the jungle he's a problem for rengar but still winnable with goredrinker or eclipse. As a jungler he might be an even or a major.”
Pep_Shin says “His Q is a pain for you.
He has a good early game and can outdamage you.
However he cannot get away from you with your R.
If he doesn't get any lead before 6 you should be fine.
Otherwise he will kill you and you won't have fun as he can poke you while you farm under turret.”
Puyi says “You can dodge spears with E and stop his very telegraphed stun with W. He's still very strong early game, but you outscale him relatively fast.”
Irelius says “Пикаем костяные пластины. 95% Пантеонов будут вливать весь свой урон в них и в ваше W. Мачап ПРИНЦИПИАЛЬНО зависит от того, как вы используете W. Не дерёмся в начале игры, даем ему пуш. Блочим его прокаст, Далее попадаем ешкой и даём кухан ему за спину, когда он кастанет свой щит. Если вы Фейкер, то жмите кухан за его кухан. БОЙТЕСЬ ПТА+ИГНАЙТА. На лвл 6 Ирелия аутскейлит. ”
Irelius says “Pick bone plating, W when he jumps at you. 95% of Pantheons will throw all their damage into your defensive dance and bone plating. Then hit E and kill this guy. BEWARE PTA+ IGNITE COMBO. You outscale him at 6. ”
Azekar says “Conqueror+Bone Plating.
Start Doran Blade.
Ghost+Teleport.
Pantheon has a very strong early game so watch out for him. Don't use your Q or R while his E is active or he will block all your damage. His Q can be easily dodged with E or W. The matchup is pretty straightforward overall, but you still have to be wary of Pantheon's early game damage. Fortunately, he is no longer seen on top.”
JustSad42 says “This is a little bit of an annoying matchup. Pre-6, you want to spend most of your time baiting out Pantheon Qs by walking in and out of their range, otherwise you’ll find it difficult to CS in the first place without dying. After 6, you can easily force all-ins on the Pantheon as long as the wave is on your side and he hasn’t chunked you too hard before it. However, you need to be aware that his E stops you from proccing vitals, so always be ready to move to the other side to keep damaging him if necessary. Something to note is that Pantheon can just R back to lane, so it’s difficult to get plates against him even if you’ve killed him. Also, if he has pushed the wave and left lane, ping your team since he might be roaming to try to get a kill.”
JustSad42 says “You win after 6 because you effectively have an ultimate in the fight and he doesn't. You can win before, but you need to get passive stacks and hit E, and pantheon easily pokes you out early game if you screw up.”
TheHellKing says “Unless that Panth is SpearShot then you should win easily. Conq is best choice. Don't walk near him without bone plating, if he W you W away. After his combo you can run him down.”
SrMolinv says “Bone plating helps a lot in this lane. Riven has a really easy time at level 6. Be careful with his Q damage, he hurts. You can go exhaust in this lane but theres no actual need, i leave it to player preference.”
Zorroh says “Pantheon can be really oppressive in the early game because of his point and click W stun and insane burst. Try to stay outside of his W range and focus on farming as Mini Gnar. You can poke him down with Q to look for a potential kill but don't let him W you because he will burst you for a ton of damage, it isn't worth the 2-3 autos you can land on him and he will win every trade. As Mega Gnar try and also take short trades, but you can walk up to trade more aggressively especially while strongside. When Pantheon recalls, be careful taking turret plates and hold your E because he may try to ult behind you on his way back to lane for a cheese kill. With armor boots and mythic you should be able to take longer trades and win as Mini Gnar. The main objective is to survive and not die before you get this spike. When you're finally able to kill Pantheon you can use your E during Pantheon's E to get behind his shield and finish him. ”
V1kt0r555 says “[Summoner Spell: Ignite]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring]
[Avoid his Q poke]
[Be careful of his W stun and gank setup]
[Warn your team when he is lvl 6]”
TwTvRANGERZX says “Can be difficult in earlygame. If he wastes his Passive and other cooldowns, you can look for an all in. Avoid Q's. Lane gets easier past lvl 6, and overall you will eventually outscale.”
AdventurousBoldJourney says “He is all about outplaying his shield. If he Es your shield, you have lost the trade. If you bait it out, you win the trade. R his W, so you don't get stunned. Watch for Q poke, very similar to Yone, so space it out.”
Smudey says “He wins the first 2 levels so stay behind unless he lets you push for free. You can go for trades at lvl 3+ if he doesn't have any passive stacks. If you do so, wait for his E to see in which direction he used it and try to apply damage during that time. it's kind of difficult to win longer trades like that so if you aren't comfortable, just take TP and play for Ults since his scaling isn't the best and you don't need an early lead.”
Elresser says “His early game is strong but if you don't fall behind you will outdamage him in trades with your W. Also his E can block the damage from your E but it has a much higher cooldown.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “If u manage to survive to lv7 you pretty much won the lane. Be carefull tho as his damage early is massive and if ure not careful he can easily kill you. His ult is not combat one so in fights you have some advantage past6. try to place barrel underneath you and if he jumps on you, W the stun, destroy the barrel, passive and run away if you wont kill him.”
hamgi says “pantheon is a mean early game champ, but u outscale so hard, it doesnt really matter what happens. yone is an assassin, which pantheons are great at shutting down, but he is also a skirmisher. he has amazing 1v1 potential, and pantheon has 1 combo. when he blows it, if u are not below 40% hp, fight him. u will win, meaning he dies or u force a bad recall. respect him in team fights as even if u live through his combo, his instance of cc and burst can help his team jump on u and kill u. he's not scary at all in lane, but play smart from level 3-6 as ur trades will be even. post level 6, u win as long as u play smart and dont get overconfident. try to follow his ults with tp if necessary, otherwise get shit done by taking plates, tower itself, rift herald, enemy jg camps, or roaming/counter-roaming to mid”
UnderworldTF says “W is same range as your autos. E makes it hard to chase him down. Gold card if he jumps on you, wait out his e, and get in a few of your own autos. Beware his q range. Take Phase Rush”
TwTv EUWXYZ says “early g ame panth fav, later stages good for darius he still has the E tool to deny passive/R MAJOR mechanic is if u try to cancel his W with ur E, in lane rly important to use ur E as late as possible or as a cancel for his W”
kajinator says “Conqueror and Flash + Ignite will turn this guy into a walking bag of gold. Just wait out his W and you can W it or his E if necessary and then hit him with your Q + full E spin and just kill him with ignite + ult and level 6. ”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Once Pantheon hits level 6, communicate with your team whenever Pantheon recalls or leaves lane as he may use his Ultimate Grand Starfall(R) to roam and help another lane. It’s not uncommon for Pantheon to recall and run bot with his Ultimate. Take care in the early game as Pantheon will try to skirmish frequently and go for kills. Keep this in mind and be prepared to sacrifice some CS for XP if you’re weak in the early game. Avoid trading with Pantheon when his Passive has lots of stacks as he will deal lots of damage in a trade. The best time to fight him is when he has no stacks and an ability on cooldown.”

SrMolinv says “Contra Pantheon es obligatorio llevar Bone platin. Al principio Riven gana all ins, pero ten cuidado con su Q, puede sorprenderte. Usar el escudo reaccionando.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “When playing as a ranged champion, try to stay as far back as possible while using your range advantage to harass him. Staying at max distance will make it difficult for him to jump on you with his Shield Vault(W). After he hits level 6, be careful when moving back to lane if he’s not already shown. He may use his Ultimate to get behind you and all-in you as soon as you get back to lane. At level 1, be careful of Pantheon's early pressure as he can often cheese a kill and force you to blow Summoner Spells or health potions.”
Oogaboogaga says “Pantheon will full combo you and shield away. A good pantheon is horrible for a garen to play into. Post 6 you outscale him if you can survive his initial combo. Do not give him kills and respect his stacks, similar to renekton.”
NegativePhoenix says “Pantheon is starting to see more action in the jungle and like in lane, he's still dangerous to fight. When he hits level 3 he can normally full combo you and nearly kill you in one go before you can get a proper auto off since if you meet at scuttle you should be somewhat half-ish health if you're not good at kiting. It's best to not take him on without help from your laner otherwise you're gonna notice fast why he's a good counter to Gwen. He has decent clear now due to his Q doing 105% damage to monsters so just make sure to be ready for him to clear a wave and come right back with a possible abusive invade that he can just get done and walk out from before anyone on your team can help.”

Thrandor says “Not easy. Avoid ulting against his E, if you feel very confident you can Q through him and then ult- note that your Q won't deal any dmg that way. Pantheon is pretty predictable, when he runs towards you (or is in his animation already) to hit his stun, go activate your E to win the trade. ”

CosmicTurtle88 says “Very annoying for both of you. If he's good then he'll poke you down so you can't win the 1v1 hard. Just don't lose too much health level 1 before you get your E at 2. Once you're at
HIGH HP you can look for fights and all-ins. Don't fight when you're 60% hp or lower or you'll lose. This gets easier at level 5 onwards if you didn't feed first few levels ”
UlisesFRN says “I havent played against Pantheon in lane, but he is rather troublesome as an opponent. His shield can negate your full mCombo if did correctly, so be careful when all-in him, Edge of Night is good against him, just dont let him proc it with his spear”
Taiquyorah says “De gros dégâts en early, mais vous pouvez l'outscale en mid/late si vous survivez la lane.
Il n'a pas de sustain, pas bcp d'HP et peu de range donc une fois la période compliqué vous pouvez le poke et le tuer.
Attention toute fois à son Ult pour revenir en lane ou pour roam”
gekigami says “Pantheon tem uma lane phase muito agressiva. preste atenção em sua barra passiva da qual suas habilidades vão dar mais dano. e cuidado pra ser pego em seu ''W'' quando estiver com vida baixa. pois ele da ainda mais dano quando você esta com hp baixo.”
WildSamu says “DBlade + Red Pot.
Very difficult matchup for Yone, his kit counters yours. You never want to engage on him or you will get chunked or even die. Play safe, drop farm early if necessary and look to scale. ”
GodOfNoxus says “Make sure don't get you hit him by his passive and don't waste your skill when he used 3rd skill ability otherwise your ability get dodge and poked you”
7EyesNoSkills says “He can poke you with his Q, can stun and instantly kill you with his W, can dodge your E damage with his E. You have a chance in lv1 to kill him. Since there is nothing else he wont use his W so you can't attack him 1v1. Wait for your jungle and don't attack him until he uses his W. Ask midlaner for swap.”
kurbart says “Pantheon Aka Baker
======================================
This spartan is another easy match up you can poke him from afar and has no answer for your wall hold your ult until after blocking is done or walk around him and hit him from the back with that move he can block 100% of damage 180 degrees IN front of him for a few seconds ”
VituVonDoom says “Spacing is the name of the game vs this guy. Position well enough, and he can never get to you, take one wrong step, and he might just one shot you with no counterplay. Wait for him to use his E whenever he combos you so he doesn't eat all your damage, and ping his roams like crazy. Stay in minions to avoid his chardged Q full damage. Go Conq Page, after his burst, he is quite useless, so abuse it(If you're not dead, that is). Also, look at his passive at all times, he is way less of a threat with 2 or less stacks”
Aberrant Demon says “He falls off really hard so just farm safely and outscale him. Try to dodge his Qs if you can and stand in your minions so the aoe hits them. If he starts to W onto you, respond with W and E while he is in the air. Until 6 he's pretty tough to kill but after that you just have to make sure he can't block your Ult with his E. If he has Ult up, look to keep the wave pushed or have a ward deep enough to show if he tries to roam. You have the advantage as long as he can't get any roams off.”
Galactities says “Heavy lane bully, can literally delete your R with his E. Try to bait out his E then go in on him. If he holds E for ult you're done. He also excels at quick trades so you can E his W. He can also W your Q. Lots of back and forth in this lane. Watch your spacing for his W. Stacking armor and not allowing him to roam is the best you can do, you dont really scale better then him if your even as he can build health and one shot you so it'll be rough. Try to dodge his Q poke and go for an all in level 6”
Galactities says “W his W, Wait for his E to run out then Q onto him, then just spin ontop of him. Its not difficult, though a good pantheon player will widdle you down with his Q poke and hold his E for your Ult.”
IcunoX says “Try to E his stun and you win, you outheal is damage with his mana so as long as you respect him you will win or go even, you outscale him.”
Potent213 says “Recommend: Conq
Aha The old classic Fiora coutner (now its malphito).
Take Boneplating + Unflinching for his CC and trades.
Look to poke him down and bait out his Q's, often times they will use Q on minions so you want to Q him when he doesnt have empowered Q.
If possible parry his W (reactable from far away but not form close, so you need to predict).
You can run him down going for extended trades is nice, as long as he cant get his W or another empowered Q off on you.
Once you get whip the matchup is way easier as you can run him down, especially with level 6 as his ultimate is useless in lane.
Often times when you Q they like to insta W so try and see if they have this habit so you can parry and hard punish them.
Steelplated Caps are pretty nice in this matchup, but as long as you don't int early you will win on 6 with pulled in waves.”
Black Demon Ezel says “Pantheon's shield makes him annoying to deal with. But if you can get behind him his shield is worthless. As slim of a chance as that is, one must always have a backup plan. That's to bait the shield and then go with the ol plan T. Take em by storm”
Scallywag says “Niche top lane pick.
He has a lot of damage early with ignite and pta, so watch out you don't die early on.
After 6, spam ping your team because he will roam to them.
He does not scale that well, so try to safe farm and help your team with ults.”
Trundledaddy says “Haven't played it a lot, isn't very hard
can use pillar to stop his stop if you
time it propperly, just be careful of his oneshot with ignite + q execute”
FlayMan says “Pantheon can create a pretty strong threat, as he can shut down your early game and make it hard to impact the game. However if you can outplay or survive the lane with good cs, you can still do things.”
SilverAvalanche says “Outscale: You are really just looking for your level 6 powerspike since at that point you can just all-in and combo him down. You should use your E defensively when he tries to stun you and then you can E back to him and extented the trade using your shroud to dodge his Qs. It really depends on you reaction time to E his stun but post-6 he should not be an issue.”
Federals1 says “Pantheon is a skill matchup. If you bait out his e properly he will never win all ins. Most of the time however he will look to q you from max distance and keep you at bay. You need to get a hard all in on him when his e is down, as that is the one time he cannot block your ultimate. Try to also push the lane more than normal, as he can look to roam with his ultimate, so you need to punish him quickly if he does. Bone Plating+Doran's Shield is a very solid start for beginners who take bad trades early on. He will beat you late game unless you have the bruiser build.”
PandoraPanda14 says “His E can negate ur stacking ability but you can easily beat him level 2-3. U can pull him when he Ws to cancel his stun. If he E's try to get behind him and care for Q poke. Care jg ganks”
MCSwavest says “This champ hard counters you. The most you can do against a Pantheon is beg jungle to come help or just slow farm and wait to start roaming.”
Nekoparry says “///////////////////////////ENGLISH//////////////////////////
Take boneplating + unflinching, have care with his empowered Q, you can poke him when he uses it, try to parry his W, you will have to predict it if you're to close, you should win after lvl 6 unless you int in early game, so you can just outscale him by farming.”
MHLoppy says “Whenever he walks up to Q you, counter with your own Q and/or walk backwards a little so that he takes minion damage when the spear hits you. Survive his spear harass pre-6 with okay farm and no deaths and you'll be golden. His ult does very little for him in a 1v1 with you, while your ult destroys him.”
IoannAzerot says “Your worst dreams come true - a targeted stunner. You are advised to collect the guardian angel first item.(Just kidding. Bear with me.)”
Cryniu says “Juega neutral.
Trata de usar combos defensivos, él tratará de agredirte en intercambios cortos.
Te sugiero jugar al sustento, si pantheon no mata al inicio suele ser un problema para él.
Usa tenacidad en runas.
Prioriza comprar vida y en secundario armadura.”
Kocykek says “He has pretty good early game which you should not understimate. You block his W. Go for short trades. Get Sheen and poke him. You outscale him pretty fast.”
Helzky says “Pantheon wins Levels 1 and 2. However on 3, if you have ghouls, you can all in and kill him quite easily. If he roams make sure your team knows about it. ”
magician4444 says “Brain dead W stun. He's also very squishy just like you. If you can ult him when he's low you'll have a good chance of bursting him down to death.”
TheChoz3nOne says “Dodge his skills, trade with him when his abilities is on cooldown and it won't be that hard. Wait for him using his shield then trade.”
Your Desired Username says “This match-up is easy IF you respect his early levels, and I mean that. Pre-3 he will absolutely obliterate your HP bar if you even dare to cs, so just stay back and get the exp. until level 3, at which point you can start fighting him, although even this would be risky as his damage is still extreme then. You will obviously need to rush steelcaps here. Post-6 fights become very easy, as his ult can't really be used mid-combat. You outscale him pretty hard and you can ult him later on into the game as he won't build as tanky as most other top laners.”
Atomragnar says “Early you loose since his strong early game. Around level 4 you win. Dont R when he uses E. You outscale hard, only reason Panth is a "even" matchup is because of his early game.
Steelcaps are great. ”
GastlyLoL says “Pantheon isn't too hard as long as you don't take too much free damage early. Try to force out his Q's by faking going for a CS, then you would be able to CS freely. Pantheon is very easy to gank for, so be careful of that.”
LunaticDancer says “Annoying, but ultimately a cheese lane. Gambler viable, just keep in mind you likely won't proc it early (which is fine, it's pretty low value early). D Shield. Your plan is to punish him after his uninteractive combo. Your priority is to step away from his volley, prefferably wall him in and get behind him to start dealing damage again. If you don't get cheesed, you hard outscale him.”
COJA says “Bone Plating and patience until level 6 where your all in is much stronger. Try not to get poked with his Q to deactivate your Bone Plating. His E can also easily block your Q damage, but he is very vulnerable without it. Armor is very useful against Pantheon.”
ToothlessKnight says “He's a big lane bully but you win after you hit lv6. Take his early game abuse and focus on farm. Do not take too much poke as his q executes low health targets. Ping your teammates whenever he goes missing and has ult. Save your tp if possible to match his ult. If your tp is down, get turret plates and farm. To punish his roams. You hard outscale this one. ”
Anoying bro5 says “Keep an eye on his empowering bar as his Q and stun will do a lot of damage. He is pretty predictable when using his stun or Q since the bar displays this to you. If you land riposte you win after lvl 3. You are also stronger lvl 6 so you can all in him. His W shield denies you vitals so move to his back side.”
Stinkee says “Pretty easy to beat the reworked Pantheon. You are too tanky for him to kill you. He could win if he goes anti-tank runes/build and is good but otherwise it should be pretty easy and you will quickly outscale. Watch out for the first few levels though. You can also stop his W in midair before he reaches you if you time your Q right. Just try not to die early game and you will outscale him and be way more useful.”
lol Wero says “if i had to be honest for this match up, AD Neeko isn't worth versus the pantheon match up, AP Neeko does way better into this match up. The trading is very poor for AD Neeko. But if you want to give it a try, build early lifesteal and try to poke him down with your Shapesplitter (W) empowered autos. Avoid his Shield Vault (E).”
Sovereign Kitten says “Just like dealing with a Pantheon in the top lane, you'll want to throw your (Q) down on him if he lands a stun on you or your ally. If possible, however, it would be much more reliable to blind his ally if they are someone like Draven, Vayne or any other basic auto attacking ADC.”
BoilTheOil says “Try to bait out his Q, then you can look to grab cs. He can block your W with his E and there's not much you can do about it. He beats you really hard in short trades, and usually wins long fights as well for some reason. Use W to block his 2nd empowered Q because you can't use it for damage. Buying early armor helps a ton since he deals no magic damage (ult doesn't count) and typically rushes lethality. After level 6 he will look to roam so if he's missing from lane shove the lane and try to follow with tp. He needs early kills to be useful so try not to die against him, you outscale him. ”
Phrxshn says “Beware of his stack of Mortal Will(Passive) as it will enhances his skills based on his indicator. Dodge his Comet Spear(Q). Watch out for his Shield Vault(W) or stun for setting up his full combo. Stay behind Pantheon whilst he is using Aegis Assault(E) which is a frontal cone attack. Push or follow his Grand Starfall(R) if he sets up ganks. (Outscaling Edge: Singed) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Pantheon) (Recommended Items: Demonic Embrace, Plated Steelcaps) (Mega Adhesive prevent casting of his W and R) (Fling overrides his W)”
Feedaboi says “Does a ton of burst damge with his q when he has full passive stacks, also can block your autos with his e and has good dive potential with his jungler. Build D sheild and look to farm under your turret and poking him with your q. ”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Very VERY annoying matchup. Shieldbow rush and good trades is the only way you'll have a chance of killing this guy! Play the laning phase very safe!”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “This lane is already hard because Pantheon's kit is strong (base stats are too high, damage is too high etc.). It becomes harder because of his ultimate, which you can't do anything about. Take demolish and bone plating and ping him whenever he's missing post 6. Thresh will outscale him.”
Veng Shotz says “He outdamages you early game and completely negates you with an e press. Your best bet is to make sure you dont die to him and stalemate the lane. When even, you outscale him at 20minutes.
Theres not much on how to play the lane, he will zone you as soon as minions crash with empowered q, which will out damage your entire q rotation even if you hit it (you wont, its level 1.)
he'll immediately push for lvl 2 and look to all in you with w+q, and level 3 he can completely negate all form of retaliation with e, take no damage in the process, so you cant heal. It depends on the pantheon player but good ones wont let you play the game.
As stated, try to play safe and farm, and out teamfight him mid game. ”
quinn adc says “I really like this matchup after Panth's rework. First, panth was a hard Quinn counter because he had lock on Qs, and his passive meaning that you legit cannot trade with him because he will block your autos.
Now, the rework made the matchup Quinn-favoured (Thanks Rito!!) First, Quinn's E can actually interrupt and cancel Pantheon Q if he is charging it up, but I don't recommend to do this unless his W is down of course lol.
W max harrier procs to side step his spears (which isn't that hard to do since Quinn is so fast under these haste buffs).
Next, the most important interaction to note is that Quinn E CAN cancel Pantheon's W stun, but it's harder to do with new panth.
How it works is if Panth is mid jump, immediately press vault,and if you vault him while he's in mid air, you will cancel the stun and be pushed back to safety.
However, even if you mess this up, it's not that bad because other times, you will still get the vault off even if his stun lands, which is fine because you are still pushed back to safety.
If you anticipate panth using his W and you want to be ready to smurf, (ideally when no minions are near), what you do is hover your mouse cursor in between you and pantheon, and you legit hard spam your E key.
By doing so, since no minions are near, Quinn won't vault anything since you're clicking the ground, BUT, if pantheon uses his W while you are spamming your E between you and him, whenever he uses his W, you will instantly vault him mid air and cancel the jump :) After you vault from his W, you should retaliate with autos.
Panth will likely use his E right after, and that's ok.
Let Panth wear out his E and DON'T auto him when his E is up because not only does he cancel the damage, but also, if a harrier mark is on him when his E is up, you will consume the mark and do no damage, which wastes the mark.
Instead, if your mark is on him while his E is up, just be patient and wait for his E to expire, and since his W is down already, NOW go in for a thiiiicccc trade and you will hard win it.
Quinn hard outscales panth, his only chance is laning phase.
At 2-3 items, you hard DPS him, and with ninja tabis, you mitigate most of his nuke anyway!”
PH45 says “Be careful about his empowered W as that can hurt quite a bit when he combos in his other abilities. When he uses his E, Q behind him to be able to deal damage to him. You still outscale him so you should be fine if you don't int the lane. Early armor helps a decent bit.”
SunFalk says “He has a point and click stun. He has a global ult. He has a shield that can block your attacks. - Pantheon isn't hard to play against. Just use his weakness, that his that he will fall down. If you don't feed him or make him be in an advantage, Pantheon in teamfights isn't the best right now. If you lane against a Pantheon, just stay save and don't let him have a lead.”
PH45 says “Can be tricky to deal with especially early. Build armor and try to farm to your best ability. Pantheon has no escapes outside his summoners so he can be a fairly easy gank for your jungler.”
slogdog says “Pantheon is the ultimate early game brutaliser, being able to deal insane damage and have tankiness with the E. Play safe early game, and outscale at your sheen item. Don't Q him when he E's in your direction.”
Phrxshn says “Beware of his stack of Mortal Will(Passive) as it will enhances his skills based on his indicator. Dodge his Comet Spear(Q). Watch out for his Shield Vault(W) or stun for setting up his full combo. Stay behind Pantheon whilst he is using Aegis Assault(E) which is a frontal cone attack. Push or follow his Grand Starfall(R) if he sets up ganks. (Outscaling Edge: Dr.Mundo) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Pantheon) (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps)”
A_Drunk_Carry says “Similar to Renek early with kill pressure, but more telegraphed and without an escape. Just play this one out real nice and patient. Beware early 2v1s and tower dives with Panth blocking tower shots.”
MythicMike says “He has no escape, but is pretty powerfull early on. Watch out for his empowered W and try to poke at a safe distance. He wins the all in early, but if you chunk him down he has no escape once you all in.”
MagicallyDelish4 says “He's very annoying in the laning but you outscale him. If he starts W then don't level 1 all in. Post 6 you can kill him. Play safe before level 6. If he uses E then try to trade him after and when its on cd. ”
Xerath gaming says “No one plays panth top anymore but if u see him, E when he W's, it pushes him further behind and you will rekt him due to long trades being better for you. R = auto win if you're not behind”
Raen says “Get D shield with Tabi bcs prob he will sit under your turret poking you with Q. You can try to get some his HP at lvl 1 its good chance for you to win trade. Try to go ahead of him when hes making E to deal dmg to him. Try to press E right before hes in middle air with this W with 5 stacks to dodge all his W extra auto attacks. ”
Justkb says “Pantheon is heavily favoured early game, but he falls off hard. If you manage to dodge his empowered Q you can engage him. Try not to use your ult until he has used his E, bait this out with Q’s and you E to get him in close. I would recommend waiting until level 6 to hard engage or waiting for a clear ganking opportunity.”
LoLReal says “Pantheon shouldn't be a problem for Darius. He can't trade with us efficiently and will end up under his turret. If he goes in to trade, pull him back in and punish.
Alert your team as he will try to roam in this lane. Demolish is a good option vs. Pantheon to punish his roaming with strong siege.”
laoshin3v3 says “Conqueror or Grasp
Parry his Q if you don't have the reaction time for his W. After lvl6 you have one offensive spell more than he does. Wait for Nerfs :D:D”
Phrxshn says “Beware of his stack of Mortal Will(Passive) as it will enhances his skills based on his indicator. Dodge his Comet Spear(Q). Watch out for his Shield Vault(W) or stun for setting up his full combo. Stay behind Pantheon whilst he is using Aegis Assault(E) which is a frontal cone attack. Push or follow his Grand Starfall(R) if he sets up ganks. (Outscaling Edge: Trundle) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Pantheon) (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps)”
A_Drunk_Carry says “This matchup is rough early. He will poke you down with Q, and wins trades. He will probably push you under tower, stun you with his W, then block turret shots with his E while walking away. Ask for jungle help, or back when below 1/3 health. He will easily execute you every time.
Luckily Pantheon falls off pretty hard, and you'll be tanky enough after 2-3 items to run through him. Ping for MIAs, as he'll try to roam and ult mid. ”
qveenevelynn says “Quite easy if u're carefull to his shield thing. Use your charm when he use his shield, and proc it when his shield is over. Be aware of his stun and Q when you're low”
Phrxshn says “Beware of his stack of Mortal Will(Passive) as it will enhances his skills based on his indicator. Dodge his Comet Spear(Q). Watch out for his Shield Vault(W) or stun for setting up his full combo. Stay behind Pantheon whilst he is using Aegis Assault(E) which is a frontal cone attack. Push or follow his Grand Starfall(R) if he sets up ganks. (Outscaling Edge: Malphite) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Recommended Items: Plated Steelcaps)”
Sporkintahn says “DANGEROUS!!!--- Pantheon deals absurd damage and with his recent buffs he doesn't fall off in the late game nearly as hard anymore.---Try and bait out his Aegis Assault (E) that blocks all damage from a give direction for 1.5 seconds before going in.--- You want to heavily play around his cooldowns to win lane. Never stay in lane with low HP as his Q acts as an execute dealing massive damage to low HP enemies.---- Good new is you can win this lane, just trade with Q and avoid his own Q poke and thrown spears. Spears aren't as dangerous when thrown as they deal much less damage after going thru any subsequent enemies after the first so hide behind your minions when he is looking to thrown one at you. He can also thrust with his Q in melee as well and this will deal full damage so be careful.---- A common trade combo for Pantheon is to get max passive stacks, W to stun, use his empowered Auto from W, then Q you and finish up with his E to block most return damage to him as he backs away.--- Whenever he is MIA after 6 PING IT. His ult can allow him to get to almost anywhere on the map extremely quickly so let your team know when he's gone from lane.”
Phrxshn says “Beware of his stack of Mortal Will(Passive) as it will enhances his skills based on his indicator. Dodge his Comet Spear(Q).

TroviStyle says “[Conqueror] if u manage to dodge or parry 1 or 2 of his abilities you win fights against him. other than that try to rush steelcaps and sustain him on lane. Push to punish him whenever he uses ult to roam.”
LegitLechner says “A good pantheon knows how to kite your dmg. hard to get away from if you miss e. can also block ult dmg with his shield. Win by playing around his e and avoiding as many stuns from him as possible. Tip: you can cast e when you know hes w'd. Your soul will cast even while stunned. Making up for lost time.”
OTP Toxin says “Just blind him when he goes for the all-in while his passive is stacked, he will you his W on you, if you hit your blind, all his 3 attacks will miss. :D”
SilverAvalanche says “He is not that much of a problem compared to the other lane bullies, since he cant run you down.
honestly if you just don't die to him you should be able to make up for the CS difference that was created in laning phase.
just E away when he walks up to you to try and stun you.
Also go either Exhaust or Cleanse, really anything but Ignite in this matchup.
Pantheon usually will build Eclipse, so he will always be full health with the omnivamp so be careful with your health bar or he will dive you.”
Drake6401 says “By a Tiamat early to prevent him from ult roaming.
Keep an eye on his progress towards an empowered ability. Baiting and dodging an empowered Q from him puts you in a favorable position.
Be very careful not to stun against his shield. This is the main reason this matchup is not in the Tiny spot. You both have outplay potential but it favors Renekton.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - SKILL MATCHUP IN HIS FAVOUR. DON’T FIGHT HIM EARLY. DON’T TAKE TOO MUCH FREE POKE. STEELCAPS ARE GOOD. CONQUEROR IS GOOD. CANCEL HIS STUN WITH YOUR E. WALK AROUND HIS SHIELD BLOCK WITH GHOST. PING WHEN HE IS MISSING.
Pantheon can potentially be a difficult matchup if he is the better player. You want to not eat too many free Qs from him, as that is how he wins the lane, by poking you down and then all inning you. A smart Pantheon will almost never use his Ranged Q. He will just tap it as that gives the same damage but is better in every single way. It might be a good idea to play safe early on, at least until level 3 because you can start properly retaliating against him. D shield along with Second wind are a MUST. You beat him in all ins but properly counterplaying his E and landing your Qs are crucial to doing so. Try to make sure you stay healthy in lane and not take too much damage. In terms of rune choice, Conqeuror and Aftershock both work depending on your playstyle. In terms of items, Steelcaps are a good pick up and are mandatory at times. If thats not enough, pick up a Chain Vest as well. Try to make sure you stack up some health though. Ping like crazy when he is out of lane as he is very good at ganking others due to his ultimate. This will be bad for you too because once he gets fed off of your teammates, he might be able to beat you. A good trick to know is to use your E when he tries to stun you. If you time it right, you will cancel the stun and even if you screw it up, he will be stunned to. If he uses his shield to block damage, just walk around him and start hitting him. This should be easy to do with ghost. If he keeps it, try not to ult when he is using block damage.”
The Rock Titan says “"[Comet, Doran's Shield, Q > W] - If he takes ignite, becareful of his damage before your first back, after your first back, he can't kill you anymore
- Just build early armor, I like 3 cloth against him, then get HP.
- Try to stand away from your minions, bait out his Q by walking back and forth. His fast Q should be easy to avoid and short range.
- I like Doran's shield, corrupting potion is also fine
- When you're escaping from him, don't run in a straight line, try to dodge his spear
- Q him constantly then all in him"”
Wawza says “Baiting out his E should turn the tide entirely in your favor for this match. Avoid engaging when you both are low since his execute on his Q will win him the duel almost every time.”
The Real Fake says “Too oppresive early game. Considering Hecarim spikes hardest mid game, being denied the ability to farm delays your crucial item spikes.”
Rhoku says “Similar to Kled, you want to play safely up to level 6. You win hard in the death realm but he is just a nightmare up until then. His Q has such a low CD when he uses the short range version than in all ins, he will get like, 3 or 4 of it out which will lead to him just being able to destroy you. His E also lets him avoid quite a bit of your Damage if he uses it to block a Q. D.Shield, Second Wind, Ninja Tabi, Seeker's Armguard. After that you can pretty much build whatever you want as you outscale him hilariously hard. In Ultimate, you beat him straight up so play safe till 6 and then dominate him.”
maxlid3 says “Keep your distance. He has a pretty easy engage by just jumping onto you and stunning you for a moment but you outrange him in every stage of the game. W him if he engages and you can even get a free root if he ults and you shoot a W at the place where he lands.”
YasTilt says “Dangerous counter, take exhaust and take Runes against Burst and Assassins (see higher). Pick fights before level 3. You outscale him late game and don't take 1V1's. Freeze Lane and wait for a Gank.”
PK Noob says “Pantheon can just keep forcing quick burst trades against you and you can't do anything about it. If you try to engage him he can easily zone you off with his E that blocks all damage. If he stuns you in a team fight that can become troublesome too. You'll win extended trades against him though so try to bait him into taking an extended fight.”
jmp_01_ says “Take Conqueror and Bone Plating. Try not to get poked by his Q - it deals a lot of damage and has low cooldown. If he misses it, try to grab some CS. He can block your full-charged Haymaker and you can't do anything. Buy early armor (If he has Conqueror - go Bramble Vest and Plated Steelcaps because he has no magic damage in his kit except his Ultimate which has a really high cooldown.) After level 6 he might roam so hard-shove the lane and follow up with Teleport if it isn't on cooldown. He needs kills in early game so try not to die - you outscale him.”
lulw says “Ban or dodge. Same as renekton, bring exhaust, when he jumps on you, and does half your health, if he doesnt have dirk or anything all in him when he shields e through him. Then back out. ”
Avelon6698 says “early game he can be a threat, careful of his lvl 2. He doesn't scale well however so just make sure he stays under-fed till midgame. Should be fine after that.”
Nodrog says “His w allows him to get a free combo with no retaliation against you. You cant use your w as he can just E it to block all that true damage. You can win past 6 because his ult isn't as beneficial in dueling as yours but he can still have an edge if he builds eclipse.”
Black Demon Ezel says “This guy is a wall that Morde cannot break no matter how much damage you do, he stuns like crazy and any attempted counterattack he just blocks”
Psychopathic Top says “His current Q is very hard to miss, and the radius is insane. Also you must watch out for his damage, as his Q may crit and 1 shot you if low. One of the worst things about the new pantheon is that his E can tank turret shots, which makes it disgustingly easy for him to dive you with enemy jungle. Early game focus on farming, scale to level 6 and call mias across the map so your teammates know that his 6 and has access to ultimate. You will be really behind in lane, but outscale hard if you aren’t too behind.”
DippyDan says “Very strong burst damage and can poke you for every CS you try to take. Hard to predict stun and has good roaming potential. TIPS: [1] Don't fight early. [2] Rush steelcaps [3] Try to Parry his stacked Q or stun.”
Hecki says “Rarely seen in the new season but if you should encounter a Pantheon top he will most of the times go assassin/bruiser. You should go Plated Steelcaps first item to screw up his laning phase since having more movement speed is a key factor in this matchup. Go Bone Plating and avoid getting poked so he doesn't procc it. If he goes for a short Q, retaliate him with first Q and if he decides to jump on you E backwards with 2nd Q and W so he has to use E. As soon as he wastes his E you can pretty much all in him with ult, as long as your other cooldowns are up.”
Unmasked Kayle says “[Standard; consider bringing TP + a combat spell like ignite or exhaust or barrier] Play around his passive stacks. When he doesnt have stacks, bait his W. Bad pantheons will take the trade and lose it. Do not get jumped at when his passive is stacked or he oneshots you. Buy armor to deny his oneshot potential.”
SunOak says “Only played this matchup one time but i recommend you run grasp page 2. The unflinching is very important against his W which will make him win any trade. His early game is also very strong so dont fight till 6. Start with a dorans shield.”
IAmStryker says “+ Starting Itmes:
-cloth Armor + 4 pots
First Item :
-Immortal Shieldbow
lane:
Take Bone Platting to evade some of his MASSIVE eraly game burst.
You can 100% win lvl 1 and 2 because you out damage him with your passive AS. A lot of Pantheons will try to kill youa s early as possible, use that to your advantage. Exhaust is a viable Summoner Spell in thsi scenario, due to Panteons going Ignite a lot of times in higher levels of play.
Build Armor like seekers armguards or even bramble so he cant just one-shot you.You are always stronger then him when he doesnt have hs stacks up., so try to fight him then.”
TXK_ says “Keep range and sacrifice farm early as his all in is very powerful. Typical Pantheon's look for fights at level 2 and 3. You outscale this champion very well and in fights use your E to position yourself behind his invulnerability. ”
Alan234 says “Go the standard PTA build. Go cloth armor and 4 pots early game. If the enemy is full ad you can legitimately build tank teemo and outscale.
Dont go for trades because his e makes him win all of them. Q him when he w's on you because your q blinds his auto attacks. Lvl 6 with ignite you can go for an all in once he w's you by throwing a shroom on yourself. Be careful of dives and ganks (you dont have many options so just manage waves correctly and track their jungler/call yours)”
Kartagoo says “I recommend going Fleet Footwork summs doesn't rly matter. The only scary thing about Pantheon is his empowered Q that he gets after 5 attacks so try to sidestep it by going for fake minion last hits. Get Plated Steelcaps early and then go Frostfire if they have a lot range poke that you have to chase or Sunfire if they have a lot of melee champs. Ping your team when he hits 6 that he might roam when u have no sight of him.”
MrShykun says “MATCHUP SKILLED A SON AVANTAGE. NE L'AFFRONTEZ PAS EN EARLY EVITEZ DE VOUS FAIRE POKE. FAITES DES TABIS PRENEZ CONQUEROR. A NOTER QUE VOUS POUVEZ CANCEL LE STUN DE SON W AVEC VOTRE E. ESSAYEZ DE VOUS RETROUVER DERRIERE LUI LORSQU'IL E LA VITESSE DE DEPLACEMENT DU GHOST AIDERA BEAUCOUP. N'OUBLIEZ PAS DE PREVENIR VOTRE EQUIPE SI IL N'EST PLUS SUR VOTRE LANE UN R PANTHEON EST SI VITE ARRIVÉ. Panthéon peut potentiellement être un match difficile s'il est meilleur que vous. Vous ne voulez pas vous faire trop poke par son Q, car c'est comme cela qu'il gagne la lane, en vous mettant low life et il finira le travail avec un burst et le finisher de son Q. Un panthéon intelligent n'utilisera presque jamais son Q, à distance car au cac le Q fait les même dégâts et possède un cd plus court. Attendez le level 3 avant de tenter quelque chose contre lui. Le bouclier de doran et second souffle sont nécessaires sur cette lane surtout depuis les buff pantheon en s11 il peut spamer son Q. Comme dit plus haut la clé du matchup et de ss après son 6 toutes ses décales cancel son W avec votre E et lorsqu'il E profiter de la vitesse de déplacement du ghost pour le frapper derrière.”
Bombabo says “In the early game, Panth will almost always beat you in fights. His Q gives him very good damage in trades, and his movespeed during his E is very close to yours during w, allowing him to manuever himself to prevent you from getting behind his shield. You will outscale him, so play passively to start
”
Vandenelis says “currently, he is op you win trades only if you cc and then hit him and run away. Try to farm up and play for late game since you hard outscale him. don't stay in lane if you are low since his q does more damage to low hp targets”
SettVEVO says “This guy is scary when fed, but he needs to get fed, so don't feed him. Watch out for his E he can block your W damage with it, so he needs to be stunned to guarantee it. Always ping his ult and keep it in mind that he might roam. Pop your potions earlier then you like cause he does more damage the lower you are. Mid to Late game just depends if he's fed or not, if he is ult him away from your team once he Ws, if he isn't just ignore him unless there are no better ult targets then just ult him onto the enemy and collapse with your team.”
Byku2506 says “Very difficult matchup, this guy will try to poke you down by spear and stun you while you are use Q to heal yourself or just poke him. Just try to outplay him and force him to use W.”
Fryx says “His Poke is annoying and his E can block all of your damage so keep that in mind. Unfortunately you can't do too much if he roams so keep your tp in your pocket and countergank him. You will outscale him so don't force the win too much on lane.”
RTO says “You're going to get poked down with his spear constantly, try to farm as much as you can, rush armor and post level 6 you should be fine. He's generally immobile, so ask for ganks, especially if his flash is down. Start doran's shield pref.”
SanLourdes says “He will at most be annoying. His W can stun you and stop your Q, but you can stun him in midair and stop him from completing the ability. His E is the only other ability that you have to keep track of, thankfully it is on high cooldown. It won't deny you stuns, but it will deny you damage. Bait it out with a Q and then try to use your ult whenever he has it on cooldown. Your tankiness will be too much for him to deal with, even if he builds anti-tank items. ”
calbino says “Pantheon is notorious for his early game damage, and it's pretty much unavoidable. He will abuse your Q cast time to close the gap for his W, so try to rush steelcaps. If he gets ahead, try to avoid walking up.”
Jaori says “High burst damage, hard to trade against. You fight him the way you fight Renekton - avoid trades at all cost. He always wins with his empowered W, luckily he doesn't get much stronger after his ult, which is a good thing. You win after 6 if you manage to ult quick enough.”
RareParrot says “pantheon is easier post rework but still bad considering he has a point and click stun with free damage and an instant pta proc, blind him as hes about to jump on you.”
ForgottenProject says “The Main Reason he was broken beyond reason was his Old Passive which no longer exists. The other reason he's still so high up is because his kit is still Oppressive in lane.
[1]Get Armor in your runes
[2]Play Around his Mana, if he doesn't have enough to All-in you, you can All-in him.
[3]Parry his W, especially if it's empowered.
[4]Ping your team the moment he leaves the lane and keep scaling.”
Sopachi says “Pantheon just wants to jump on with Empowered W and proc Press the Attack for high burst damage early, but at no point is he ever a threat. All in him when CD's are up and take optimal small trades and he won't ever be able to lane. You run Pantheon down easily, you shouldn't have a problem in this lane.”
SavagePridestalker says “Pantheon on lane will be very weak on lane due to your W healing and you building armor. Once you get an item and a boot, you'll be able to fight him without any problems.”
Marwaii says “Take shield. He will destroy you early game but you outscale. Keep an eye on the map for roams and ping. You can only fight him at level 8+, until then just farm and kite him.
Take Trinity and Plated.”
oogoogerson says “Pantheon does so much damage. Do not get combo'ed. Try and bait his leap and then flip his Q. Let him chase you around. Take teleport to try and follow him when he R's into your team.”
AlanVenator says “His early game is really strong. After a few levels the only annoying thing is his E, which blocks all your abilities. Punish him if he roams.”
Breadcrumbs says “He can be a pain, he'll likely try to spam Q and stun you when you are low enough for an all in. Once you are 6 you can start turning the lane around and win as he doesn't have any way of escaping.”
SethPRG says “His on hit is pretty scary, and his shield can cancel your damage, so you can do 1 of 2 things to hit your abilities: ult him during his shield and walk behind him when he's slowed, or E stun him before he shields into your high grit W. Try not to hard push or get caught out by others (baited into 1v1, etc.) as Pantheon will most likely ult in. Overall he's very weak now with the nerfs, may even bump him down to a tiny threat depending on how things go. Dodging his long-range Q is easy if you sidestep, but up close not so much. You win pre 6 if he doesn't block your W, you hard win after 6 unless he's ahead. Take Bramble early, building a Sheen here is nice. Late game you smash Pantheon even harder. Trinity or Goredrinker are the best Mythics to go in this matchup, other don't really have an edge over those 2 in this matchup. Death's Dance should be a buy if the enemy team comp has another AD.”
I am so chill says “Skill matchup.With the recent changes to pant he has a respectable damage.You have to count his cooldowns and you should position well to avoid his E.”
ApollonATH says “Dont let him first blood you and you have free lane . If you take tp you can play safe and beat him after level 3 . with ignite you win level 2. Build zhonyas if you get behind and play safe so he doesnt snowball”
deathwalker7119 says “A pretty fair matchup, very annoying champion though. You need to parry his stun for a pretty much guaranteed win 1v1. Watch out for his relatively short CDs later on, and do not greed for plates as he will R on your head from base and if you're low he will simply 1 shot you with a Q.”
XPRflew says “auto attack first so Pantheon blocks the auto attack after that you should q and rush armor. Tell your team if Pantheon is lv 6 which means he has r”
Womsky says “Lane survival set up, he is a lane dominant, can beat u up so damn hard if u play into his hands, but if u keep chill and farm and ignore him, he is a joke, he doesn't scale, just keep your hp high and rush tiamat, and spam ping ur team if he is missing post level 6”
RealIreliaCarriesU says “This guy is a pain in the ass. He will likely try to spam Q’s on you early on and make your life miserable. I just give up a lot of cs and let him push the lane and farm safely under tower. Even under tower he will still poke you down, so try to only go for the melees that are directly under your tower. You should be focused on getting to level 6 safely because his ultimate does nothing for him in an all in. After level 6 you can start beating him if you are over 90% hp and before he pokes you down. Try to fight him before he does otherwise if you get poked down it will be impossible to all in him. The later this lane goes, the easier it gets for you but he is still going to be annoying due to his E.. I heavily recommend rushing tabi against him as his base damage with penetration is pretty high.”
tibs2 says “Respect his q damage and burst a little bit early but if you can get on a bit of armor/ hp he cant kill you making him worthless. Keep him under tower so he cant roam with r and be sure to w his w. ”
SadmanV3 says “Pantheon is quite an annoying top laner to go against, his agility to poke you with his spear, and block you with his shield means that aside from prolonged fights, Pantheon tends to win skirmish trades.
*Tips for laning Pantheon
1. Avoid trading often in the early game
2. knock off his shield before hitting with empowered Q
3. Good wave manegement.”
Ponkstronk says “Just don't fight him if he has ignite. He has more dmg than you early. You will outscale so no need to fight him and give him potential kills.”
Noodles912 says “If you have the skill, you easily win this lane. Do your best to dodge his Q. If timed properly, your W can negate pantheon W, which is his engage and CC. Don't try to kill him, keep your health up, and outscale him.”
Draconic56 says “Pre-level 6 he is a nightmare he can poke you with Q's and use his E to disengage play safe pre 6. You hard beat him in the death realm. Rush plated steel caps and you should squash him. ”
Kokob5 says “With the mini-rework this one became a bit tougher. If he goes in with W use your E to put him behind you when he tries walking away with his E and smash him with Q. Remember to use your shield before you get low enough for his Q to deal the bonus damage or your shield will take more damage than needed. ”
negoZoma69 says “Rough matchup for both AD and AP Neeko. Armor is good vs him but it will just delay your powerspike. AP is still recommended because at least you have enough range to not be repeatedly jumped on and killed.”
SeptikYT says “This is an extremely skill-based matchup as they are both early game bruisers. Avoid his empowered skills as his empowered W gives him 3 additional auto attacks, so it can proc PTA if ever he runs it. Also avoid Q as it does quite a bit of damage.”
Spacix6 says “Don't miss E or you will have a bad time, Pantheon players takes Ignite often and this is a direct counter to you since it is anti-healing.”
SanLourdes says “Pantheon will be able to outlast a duel later during the game once he has his abilities leveled up. Even early game, you might need help from your jungler to take him down so you can get ahead and mitigate his threat. Wait until he uses his W to make sure that he can't stun you and run away from your initiation. Try to go in for a combo when his passive isn't close to being stacked.”
nichovsky says “pantheon is the perfect counter to gwen because he can resis your poke by or blocking it or even jumping on you with W then combo, if you try to turn on him with ult chances are he will have E for your last ult and will have more burst unless you are fed or have alot of cdr.”
gladiatorrr4 says “Try to dodge Panthoen's spears.
Watch out on his roams when he reaches level 6. Warn your team as fast as possible. Its really hard to lane against him, Play safe and around ganks or roams.
If he W's you try to cancel it with ur E. You can then trade back.”
raede says “Although we don't really see too much of Pantheon toplane anymore it is a real lane counter as his Q damage lands way for your E shield can and if he uses HIS E shield correctly he can block a huge amount of your damage. But this is an example of a matchup where you outscale him.”
ChaseMorePlz says “Basically Pantheon is a hard counter to Riven, the skill cap of the champion is very low and Riven's is very high. Therefore it generally goes the same every game: Q, Q, Q , over and over again... Get the timing down for when the spear is about to hit you and E right before it does, you'll soak up a lot of his damage. The goal is to out sustain him, start E and bait out his Q's to drain his mana in lane. Prevent him from roaming with his Ultimate and keep tabs on when he has it with your team. Additionally it's very similar to the Tryndamere matchup. ”
Lunarisen says “Although he's played support alot because of his kit, be careful of Pantheon since he can lock you down and peel you to nothing for his team.”
Reformed Ravi says “careful of his early levels and use a basic cpmbo when like level 5 or 6. try to have ghouls on one side of him and you on the other when he is in your w so he cant e all of your dmg”
Erenando says “Thanks god he got reworked. His pokes in early game are weak and you'll be able to farm up quite nice but don't underestimate him. His E is going to be a burden since your Q's will deal nearly no damage, but at some point you can probably dive him.”
SeptikYT says “Skill-based matchup here but still Tier 4 threat as his early game almost never loses. His empowered W will proc PTA if ever he runs it, meaning your shield pops and you also take in damage. Run the Conqueror with Bone Plating and Overgrowth rune page.”
Olaf Only says “Easy if you survive until lvl 6.
Go for poke before 6.
Pantheon can roam very efficient so make your team aware and freeze
OR
Push him in all the time so he cannot afford to roam.”
TheMegam5 says “Before lvl 6 he has oneshot potential on you. After 6 he becomes useless at long trades. If he jumps at you just press "R" and punish him. ”
SpyDaFX says “skill matchup, try to kill him after level 6, but dont die before 6, you need to auto attack him when u E to prevent him from dodging ur W, if you dont auto attack u might be dead (his passive is when he uses a ability he blocks the next attack, so AA to remove his passive). go press the attack and doran's shield, long sword is an option if you're good with renekton and you'll think you might win against him.”
Ravenborne says “Will try to poke you down before fighting you. When he goes in for the stun either E to cancel it or keep chasing him. If he starts E'ing walk beside him and start Ghosting because there is no way he gets back out. Annoying lane because he will get fed off of other lanes.”
Kil4fun says “Don't walk up and sit behind minions. That spear will hurt, and his jump is ranged enough where he can walk to you then jump while you're mid AA animation. His burst will destroy you if you're not careful”
DoubleQ says “Dodge his Q, don't get stunned. And bait his E when you fight him. Don't fight him under 100 stacks without sheen and ASK YOUR JUNGLER FOR GANKS.”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Extremely oppressive early lane but you outscale. Play the lane passive and try not to get too close to him, take some Q's whilst farming closer to your tower if you need to, you'll start winning by roaming midgame. Your W cancels his W, unless spaghetti code interferes. ”
ChevalierArlo says “O dano desse cara é obsceno. Leve Osso Revestido de runa e escudo de doran, tome muito cuidado com as trocas iniciais e faça o máximo de armadura que você puder. ”
xxskipskipxx says “E his Q! Watch out for when he is 1 skill off of his Passive maxed! He can do Q empowered W AA E Q!
Do not go near him when he is about to have his passive stacked !!
While trading try not to waste your DMG/Spells on him when he uses E!! You either want to go behind him or wait for it to expire!!!”
Hyzerik says “You do your combo and he uses his shield and blocks most of it. Just go in and try to get him to use his shield, once it is down try to go in again and go for the kill.”
JannaMainOTP800K says “Block his W with Q or R wich will be hard .
Also if he uses his shield to block your W use an AA to bait his E and destroy his honor after it ends”
NoFriendsPlayLoL says “After the nerfs, you can win this lane a lot easier. If they have PTA all in lvl 1 if you see they started Q. After that rush bramble and steel plate boots and you win trades easily until they have eclipse. You can outscale him if he goes full lethality. If you cc chain him in fights in can be an easy lane.”
Raideru says “Very hard to kill in early after buffs, jungle help is needed here to kill him before 6, it's also possible to solo kill him via predicting his w jump and activating the e in the exact moment he does the jump since that allows u to block most of the dmg and outtrade him otherwise this is a very hard laner to solo kill.”
TioKirb says “He can get fed easily and he has some serious damage on early. Make sure he doesn't kill you and you should be fine. If you are able to kill him early, it can be easier.”
LeSocair says “He's an even matchup, but a Major Threat if he runs PTA, if he does, try not to screw up. His Q does like no damage if it passes through minions first. Poke him, obviously, and don't let him land Q's on you too often, and by all means dodge Empowered Q's.”
sauronkaiser says “Since the last changes he has become another early abuser, wich is the worst for yorick. Play safe in early and launch him ghouls all you can to lower his hp.”
EU_Toxicity says “Stay out of melee range early on as his Q poke will be twice as deadly because of the 50% shorter cooldown on short Q. You should win hard after 6 if you didn't fall behind. If he's in dunk range and didn't use his E Pull him and spam your R.”
Lectiica says “Only a threat because he can attack and defend all at once. This can be countered by letting your teammates help gank him. As always, stay cautious.”
iZeal says “Pantheon favored early game, but he falls off hard. Do not use your ultimate when his E is up (set it up with E, hit him from behind or wait it out). You can fight him early if you dodge key Qs (especially the ones that gain execute bonus damage) but in general you want to wait for at least level 6 for added ultimate power.
DShield, Tabis, Phage/armor item”
DasGrauen_ says “Pretty annoying and for me one of the best lane bullies in the game right now. (Patch 9.20) His Poke. Point and click all-in and the fact that his kit is pretty easy to play makes him to a pretty extreme threat.. Also, if he looks in your direction and uses his E ( Shield ) He can block your whole ultimate.. Thats just insane. Try to farm up and look for roams!”
DarkNavarre says “Jumps on top of you and bursts you down. High 100-0 potential while you are still squishy early. Also sets up ganks exceptionally well. Avoid at all costs. Recommended ban unless your team can pick him early in champ select.”
byThiagus says “Esta linea depende en como de bueno es el pantheon. No dejes que te outradee forzale peleas largas. escudo de doran Segunda pagina de runas. Si el pantheon tiene ignite no tradees con el hasta nivel 6 o que te gankee tu jungler”
Stijnzxz says “Ok to deal with but he can wombo combo ur ass pretty hard and DONT figth him when ur low cuz he waits for hes cd and stuns and execute u with Q so look out for that.”
Pusan says “Watch out for pantheon. He's strong and you can't possibly fight him good. But use chance when he don't have stun and his shield. And don't have his passive stacked. Then you can use all abilities and attack him.”
AWierdShoe says “Level 1-2 is hard. If he lets you have the push early, then push, but he can stop you from doing that if he knows how to punish you correctly. If he knows, then just let him push and try to survive level 1-2. Try to force trades extended trades level 3+ if his passive isn’t stacked up, since his empowered Q is very scary poke. When doing this, remember not to taunt before he uses E, so you can taunt behind him to do damage (if you use taunt and he still has E after you’re screwed). He’s easy to gank if your jungler comes. Your R is also better and more reliable than his for roaming.
”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Early game respect him, he can fuck you up big time. Stay safe and healthy the first few minutes of the lane. Afterwards when you get boots with an item like noonquiver you can trade with kill potential. Try to block at least one of his Q's with your W if he charges it. If he doesn't then bait it by walking in and out of it's range or just let him use it to cs. it can make the difference in the 1v1. After you get 2 to 3 finished items thats the moment when you absolutely shit on him. Again here we also freeze so we can stay safe and healthy as i mentioned above, missing few minions also is not a big deal in case he freezes, at least try to be in xp range and all gucci. The wave is gonna come under your turret and you should be able to freeze or even perma freeze if done right”
Scoothare says “Really annoying. WHEN he gets close to you... you're dead. This should be a perma ban. If you choose to not ban him, blame yourself when you go 0/10.”
Saarlichenbog says “Another Prowler's Claw user but also tends to swap in for Eclipse, Pantheon recently received a buff which made him top tier in 3 roles meaning this matchup won't always be this difficult. At the moment however, most champions cannot keep up with his laning pressure and roaming potential which always makes him a threat. He also scales much better this patch than he used to but as long as he can't get too far ahead in the beginning then you tend to outscale him quite easily.”
ItsPaulygon says “Don't underestimate a Pantheon. His passive shield is cancerous. Even if you stun him, he can just proc his shield again and again negating your damage. Take Doran's Shield and play safe. You can't win lane. So ask help from your Jungler.”
Klappy says “- Tradeos de Q+Pasiva en early PERO evita su Q, pega feo
- W/E su Q, asi no logra dar los 3 AA de su pasiva
- Guardabrazo si la estás pasando mal
- Puedes usar tu R sobre su E para hacerle daño por la espalda, o usar tu E y esperar a que se acabe su escudo”
GLP1 says “Pantheon right now is broken in these patches and can make you a half-life all in or even kill you if you're disassembled, it's similar to Renekton's match but even worse for you, I'd recommend playing safe or if you have the option not to pick up Kled Vs Pantheon.”
FearMyJustice says “He can really trade you back hard, it's not unbeatable so if you see an opportunity don't be afraid to go, but keep in mind that he can outburst you a lot and not let run away afterwards.”
pedrohnasc says “In my opinion, the easiest matchup for Aatrox. Try to bait his empowered Q and you'll be fine. He won't be a threat to you at any stage of the game.”
Randombeastmode says “You kind of just smash him until he cries out in the horror of the matchup. Start Dblade and just walk up with some fury from minions (or not, it honestly doesn't matter, 1 auto on a minion + a proper spin over him and them, should give you enough to kill him early.)”
Frostyfps says “This guy is a pain in the ass. He will likely try to spam Q’s on you early on and make your life miserable. I just give up a lot of cs and let him push the lane and farm safely under tower. Even under tower he will still poke you down, so try to only go for the melees that are directly under your tower. You should be focused on getting to level 6 safely because his ultimate does nothing for him in an all in. After level 6 you can start beating him if you are over 90% hp and before he pokes you down. Try to fight him before he does otherwise if you get poked down it will be impossible to all in him. The later this lane goes, the easier it gets for you but he is still going to be annoying due to his E.. I heavily recommend rushing steelcaps against him as his base damage with penetration is pretty high.”
Legal Loli Lulu says “Medium-Hard / Hard matchup. Pantheon passive blocks AutoAttacks/Garen Q and Turret shots, you need to AA him once before using your Q. If he walks towards you to engage, use your W and E right before he jumps on you.
”
Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Pantheon is probably the most infuriating lane for Mordekaiser, pre level 6 he can easily lock you down with E (or is it W?) and do a ridiculous amount of damage to you, this matchup is hopeless early, play very safe until at least 2 items.”
Plasticpear says “The same thing goes for pantheon.
Only trade when you know he doesn´t have W. Also don´t take the tower protecting you for granted, since Jhin is really squishy and pantheon has a way to protect himself from towershots while doing demage to you. Jhin lacking any kind of dash, you won´t be able to get behind him in that situation either.”
LoL destroyer says “You will hate yourself fighting this champion, He will jump on you and stun you, deal a mass amount of damage and use his shield to run away from you after finishing his combo, all without you getting a single hit on him.”
YoungTact says “Look to dodge his spears and respect his strong early game. Try your best to W his W but it is a fairly fast dash. Punish him for csing as another melee match up. Build armour to outscale.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “FLEET FOOTWORK / CONQUEROR SETUP - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Pantheon since he got reworked he deals an impressive ammount of damage early on but he scales super poorly, as a Pantheon player myself I fell like the moment he fully maxed his Q, he's already outscaled in all his matchups. As Nasus you can look to bait him to shove you in by making him use his empowered Q lvl 1 on your minions. He will always try to hard preassure you since he will get outscaled, so just play it safe. Once you hit lvl 6 and you get your Sheen, you can start looking to do short trades into him, if he overcommits to the trade with all his cooldowns, you can kill him, since his E, slows him down allowing you to reposition your character behind him so you can deal damage and it has a 22 second cooldown lvl1, his W also has a 13 second cooldown lvl1 making it really hard for him to outdamage you from there on. Be really careful early on since he can do great dives due to his E, try to have some vision to prevent this and if you see the enemy jungler, back off your torret inmideatly. Also whenever he fully charges his Q, its a small hitbox that you can easily dodge but be careful when you are low enough, it deals more damage to enemies below 50% HP. Similar to Galio/Shen Matchup, ping your teamates once he hits 6 to counter his roams, ping whenever he is not in lane and whenever he has his R. Later on to the game he doesn't stand a chance against you, so look to teamfight, you will be way more usefull than him. ”
PH45 says “Your best bet is to build early armor and wait for your jungler to come top. You will outscale him so if you can't make early lane work, you can always steal his R and just roam with it.”
SkellyBirb says “Just make sure you land your charm while his shield and stun are down. If you do this, it's pretty easy to avoid him. Beware his spear poke.”
Yasuo Comunica says “Pantheon is strong for his Stun and his critic damage to short life can also get you a deadly reminder and win the line easily.
Pantheon is Tier E”
SubHuman Filth says “he will outtrade you in every single trade because of his e. so dont even bother trying to kill him.
go armor early. maybe even cloth armor start if he has ignite.
you hard outscale tho. so farm.
”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Pantheon is an early game bully who can follow you on roams and can effectively stop you from all in diving because of his E. Early laning will mostly be dependent on how the pantheon is using his abilities. If he is hitting his q's on you early then don't look to trade and just farm. However if you dodge enough Q's and are able to build up fury you can trade a bit. Can be hard to all in the new pantheon though because of his E blocking damage for 2.5 seconds, but he only blocks damage from one angle so if you are able to get behind his shield you can damage him (and also avoid his damage from his E). Keep health pool high because pantheon gets an execute on his Q if you fall below 20% hp. You can lose this matchup if you over commit into one of his combos, his all in is actually decent even early on. Later on in the game he can be difficult to dive so make sure that you try to bait out his E before committing to a dive or he can turn it against you.”
I Am Goliath says “Pantheon can be hard but the main tip I can give you in this matchup is to start dorans shield! it's going to help so much with his Q poke you may even be able to win trades, the problem is a lot of pantheons take ignite so this matchup is most likely going to be pretty hard if you ever make a mistake, but it should be survivable if you play well and maybe even in your favor once you get an item or two.”
STIERNACKENTYP says “Panth used to be the GP Counter #1. But times have changed. For me there is no problem with panth anymore, go Resolve Tree second -> Boneplating -> Second Wind and start with Dorans shield and his Q Poke isnt that bad. After 3+ Items u outscale him hard.”
EntxRecoil says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start.

ZergDood says “His early game is really good, don't underestimate him. Play around his Q range, and avoid the spears when he throws them. Be aware of his passive, try not to get in his W range, specially if he has 3-4 stacks. You have your W, but his W is really fast, so you might end up triggering it on prediction more than reaction. Take care of yourself and don't let him roam, you'll outscale. Your W stops his dash.”
Ayanleh says “He's pretty squishy early and you hard outscale him. Try to play safe till you get atleast lv6 and blasting wand + tome and then look for aggressive trades and kill him the shadow realm.”
Amar4Amke1 says “This matchup changed with the Pantheon rework, although it still remains Pantheon sided for the lane phase. Be careful about his empowered W as that can hurt quite a bit when he combos in his other abilities. When he uses his E, Q behind him to be able to deal damage to him. You still outscale him so you should be fine if you don't int the lane.”
Mrobby says “Pantheon jungle is a joke, if they picked it they are absolutely trolling, if he gets fed just build some armor and make his damage irrelevant. he falls off at 20 min anyways. this champ is only good on support now.”
chloe666 says “Pantheon top is in a very weak spot right now. He outdamages you early if you take his empowered W. Play safe until level 6 then All-In him, you should win with ult all the time.
Take Resolve secondary if you're scared of him early, think of Pantheon as a weaker Renekton.
Be careful of facechecking bushes against him, if he doesn't show up in lane early he's probably hiding on a lane bush waiting for you to get close and take a one-sided trade with his stun. ”
wallobear53 says “Avoid casting damage abilities when Pantheon puts his E shield up as it negates all incoming damage from that direction. If you have a gap closer up, you can use it to go behind Pantheon as you can do damage from behind his E.
Push in Pantheon after level six as he will attempt to roam and pick up kills with his Ultimate R. If he does use his Ultimate R from the base itself, then shove the wave in and make him miss as much Experience and Gold as you possibly can.
Avoid standing near the minion wave as Pantheon's Q tap does full damage through all targets. However, be careful when staying out of the minion wave as Pantheon's ranged Q will do reduced damage when hitting multiple targets. You will need to keep an eye out on which kind of Q he is going for and react accordingly.
”
Fiora Pogjet says “This lane is really hard. Pantheon can stack up his passive and then throw a Q at you. And if he wants to trade he can stun you and just get out wiht his e. You should focus on when he jumps at you so you can prarry him. At lvl 6 tho he will be much weaker because his ult does nearly nothing in the laning face but your ult does. So after hitting 6 u should always be able to fight him.”
CptTeemoOnDuty says “Teemo's old counter which can still be very difficult to win against if the enemy is decent, being able to block your basic attack gives him an advantage and if you are squishy you will probably die when he jumps you. Especially if he plays with ignite. ”
9690 says “D-Blade or D-Shield. This matchup is pretty much unwinnable if he knows how to abuse you in lane. Don't attempt to poke, he will all-in you. You may be able to live this matchup if you all in as his ultimate doesn't help him in 1v1's in lane. Take Fleet.”
BloodyDream81 says “Match up à son avantage dans les premiers niveaux, soit vigilante de son poke grâce à son A, évites en un maximum et surveille sa mana, n'hésite pas à prendre de long trade si il t'engage, mais évite absolument les courts trade qui l'avantage totalement. Une fois tes tabi ninja obtenu et ta trinité obtenu tu devrais pouvoir le vaincre relativement facilement !
Astuce : N'ulti pas quand il a son E d'actif, car ça l'immunise de tous les dégâts venant de face, ou alors passe d'abord dans son dos avant d'ulti.”
Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start.

Dantheman81 says “This is not a fun lane, Pantheon does a lot of damage, has great roam, and can dive you without taking damage. If you are forced into this, play very safe, build Ninja Tabi early, and make sure to auto him once before you use your Q so he doesn't block the bulk of the damage. If he takes ignite and uses his ult to roam, that is your opportunity to farm up and regain what you lost in the laning phase, maybe even get first tower or rift herald.”
Alzeidx says “Play safe before level 6, go dorans shield. dont let him stun you with his full stacks, play safely before lvl 6, then stack some rage and Wreck him.
It will be very hard for you if you die in early against him.”
Wamson says “Survive the laning phase at all costs! Don’t get bullied out of the lane! Freeze creeps on your side of the lane and farm until mid game.”
ACE4291 says “made a mistake with this champ. he is easy to beat. A lot undervalue you.
tahm can stick to heroes pretty easy and pantheon cant handle tahms Slow. watch for his spears tho ”
CourtesyD0Prata says “You can't beat him in lane phase, play Safe and wait your power spikes, you can only kill him by outplaying most of time /Você não pode vence-lo na fase de rotas, jogue safe e espere seus picos de poder, você só consegue matar ele dando outplay, geralmente.”
Sq_09 says “Pantheon can jump onto you and try to burst you or trade with you when you come too close poking. You are able to safely countertrade but your damage doesn't fully match his. As soon as you have some sustain he becomes way easier. ”
Beatport Expo says “No trouble, stop attacking him upfront when he puts up his shield and go to his back. You can still throw your Q even he still has shield up to slow him and his shield DOES NOT prevent you from gaining stacks (From basic attack I mean), It's prevents you from damaging him infront though”
Kingarthur720 says “very hard champion to deal with early game, you may have a chance at beating him late game but otherwise just play to scale and build crit into him. Then you might be able to burst him or kite him around enough to kill him.”
Laika says “Annoying and medium-high threat if he's good. Start Dorans Shield, rush Jaurim's Fist, Boots of Speed & 2x Null-Magic Mantle, and after that proceed building your core items. Get Adaptive Helm instead of Spirit Visage if he goes full AP. Don't engage him with Q since he will just blind you, rendering your ability useless, instead just use your E while blinded and then Q when his blind expires.”
VIP Titan says “Pantheon is op in term of his early rush but you can definitely fight him if he hasn't got press the attack in level 1.
Tips:
Make sure don't use your E into his E. Because than you wouldn't do any damage.
But when hits 6, you got one more abilities than him so you will be just gucci
MAX E not Q! ”
yAssasinn says “Pantheon stuns you, blocks your AA and does a lot of damage with your Q.
don't try to trade too much with him, only if your JG is a gank”
ShaharKarisi says “Pantheon can't really escape Shyvana's R without Flashing or using his ultimate, and as you have a smaller Flash and R cooldown, consider burning one of them a successful all in. His stun can be annoying but you can win.”
Subject3 says “pantheons think they can jump at you, stun and then poke some before disengaging with his negate damage shield poke ability
but what they dont think about is how strong tahm kench can stick to you before you die.
q slow him go around his shield poke and then auto lick him to death, make him regret going sparta mode on your butt.”
Starci says “If you can parry his W you should be golden, since you can just Q in a different direction when he uses his shield. The only thing is, at times it's pretty hard to parry his stun, and if you use your parry on nothing, he will stun you after it's over and stomp you.”
Discord Rengar Mains says “His early game is insane and unless he is completely retarded he will win trades from very early on, and he can stop you from retaliating because of his E and W. The fact his R allows him to instantly go back to lane from 6 onwards also means he will almost always pick ignite to be super aggressive and win the game early. It's not entirely hopeless however, you can play around his E and if you have 3 to 4 stacks you can just jump, use W twice, wait for him to miss his Q, then just wail on him since he doesn't have stacks just yet. However, he can just CRUSH you if you misplay at any point, and if he gets ahead the game is over until at least 30 minutes, unless your ADC managed to snowball.
You might want to consider exhaust here, but tbh it's down to personal preference and whetever or not you think you can kill him. Grasp is good if you are going for short trades (which you want to); if you don't, just get conqueror.”
Itreallyhim says “Skill matchup, You can ult him to remove his threat from the game, But hes a solo target champ so just crush him.
Immobile, but be wary of his Aegis.”
AkaiAsura says “Pantheon got more poke than you, plus he can beat you easily in trades. Also he has a lot more pressure than you on the map with his R.”
Cats4lyfe123 says “Pantheon does a lot of damage early game, so be careful. Once you're level 6 you can dash around his shield and dodge his spears so you should be okay. Just play safe until level 6.”
Nicklstherealone says “HE ISNT VERY MOBILE BUT CAN THROW A SPEAR ON YOU TO MAKE SOME DAMAGE. YOU WONT FACE HIM OFTEN BECAUSE HE IS MANLY A MIDLANER. TIP: HE HAS A BIG MANA PROBLEM IN THE BEGINING YOU NEED TO USE IT. AND SPIN BEHIND HIM IF HE USES HIS SHIELD. ”
ShinyEmo says “Pantheon is much weaker against you after rework. Both Conqueror and Lethal Tempo works well against him. You can dodge his W with your Q. Even if you can't dodge his W, you can all in him and kill easily. ”
AkenoSenpai says “Be careful of pantheons early as he can be pretty opressive. After 6 he is pretty easy to beat as his ult doesn't offer much when it comes to fighting while your does. When he is charging his W, you can Q to him get behind him and ignore his blocks. ”
lugzinho says “How quickly he stacks Conqueror and his execute which can screw up your remounts.
When he uses his E try to get behind him with your E and stab the guy.”
Thr3shPrinc3 says “You are going to have to get used to cancelling out Pantheons stun if you want to win this lane. You can poke him, but that causes you to be in range of his W. If you cancel out his stun you will win the trade since you can just fall back and auto him while running away. If he your flay is on cooldown and he is about to W onto you then just cast Q as you can still cancel out his stun or at least mitigate the amount of damage he can do to you while you are stunned. Pantheon scales really well into mid game, but starts falling of late game so be cautious of him mid game and then late game you can kill him.”
ForgottenProject says “D Blade Start if ur good, D Shield if ur new
Do NOT get hit by his empowered Q, dodge it at all costs
Get all the CS that you can, but be really careful not to die
Spam MIA if he is missing after Level 5
Pantheon has really good roams, and you don’t want him to get ahead off your Bot Lane
Mid-Late game, you can start to stand up to him
You are much more useful in 5v5 team fights than him”
Braddik says “High burst but if you don't get hit by too many Qs you'll win the all in. Respect him when you're low hp as his Q does damage based on missing health. If he trades you early, All in him and you should win.”
Trial_By_Barrel says “Pantheon's tower dives are very good and his E can block tower shots which means he can definitely kill you. He also has practically a free teleport and has great pressure he also does a metric shit ton of damage.”
Pedrokis says “Ele só vai ser um problema se pegar muitas kills e fazer bastante AD, mas de resto você ganha a lane. / É bom guardar seu terceiro Q caso ele venha com o stun do W: o bicho grita e pula pra cima de você, fazendo com que fique bem fácil de prever o W; se ele vier pra cima, deixa o W nele e troca. / Quando ele começar a dar o E, ele vai negar seu dano (e provavelmente você vai tar na frente dele); usa o seu E pra chegar atrás dele e pelo menos dar um hit, principalmente o da passiva.”
Split King says “Poke champion vs poke champion. An early back to get your corrupting potion can really help you. Stay healthy and you should win this lane.”
BeautifulWinter says “He can burst you pretty well however you should be able to crush this dude.
He might be able to poke a lot with his spears but after level 6 you will be able to crush him.”
feederfromelohell says “Build tank and stay under tower or he will poke you to death and also has a lot of burst & can cancel your abilities. Easy to gank and outscale.”
Big Belly Bop says “All in, burst, and invulnerability. Even more fun in the top lane! He will most likely be playing aggressive since you have no way of escaping him besides E but there's really no point since his combo already took out half or 2/3 of your HP. Flash + TP/Barrier, Doran's Shield, Survivability rune page.”
ExfIamed says “Incredibly easy, you dodge his spear and then run up behind him when he uses his shield and spin on his ankles and he just dies cause hes insanely squishy just like achilles was.”
MadYordle says “The target stun is dangerous and pantheons crit on 25% health targets can be rough when your looking to be low health for damage output reasons.”
Loevely says “Cancer matchup. Takes no damage and deals 10000000000 damage every time his rotation is up. Short grasp trades with D-shield and W max make this matchup more fair. It's entirely up to the Pantheon player. If he sucks, its a lot easier, if he's good, prepare to sit under turret. ”
ENX Kai says “THIS IS SPARTAA! The sky is falling with a massive threat. High damage, point-and-click stun. Damage invulnerability. Good at setup ganks. Play extra safe and try to bait his E.”
LuxIsMyCrush says “Well after rework he's not as cancerous as he used to be, his Q now not guantee him killing you in 4 spears or force a recall, but he have other cancerous mechanic, that being his invicinbility on E (which is not really invicinbility cause you can hit him from behind but let's be honest you will never do that in lane phase), His Q is now a skillshot which both long range and short range, but long range is usually doing less damage as long as you are behind your minions. His ult is also easier to miss, btw pro tip, most of ult damage is in center (that apply to his fall direction center too, not just the circle, kind of like Senna ult if that help making an image)”
mightydylan101 says “Staple Teemo enemy. His entire kit counters Teemo the biggest one being his shield as it blocks Teemos first shot. Ban this champ if you are an early pick and if you are picking later ban someone else and hope they don't random pick panth. (Not many people do)”
ProgettoYorick says “Phanteon is really strong!
in early you will be candy for him. Trust wait for level 6 for a fight you will have the victory in your hand!
OTP tip: Prioritize Ninja Tabbi will help you a lot against pantheon. If you can close it and mark it, the damage will be noticed :D”
AlienMV says “Watch for his passive stacks. If he's not maxed out on stacks, you should be worried about his melee Q poke the most, otherwise once he's maxed out get worried about his W range.”
CrimsonAngel1 says “His spears can poke you out of lane, but so can your Q. If he tries to jump on you, just W it. Then follow up by pressing Q and smacking him a few times.”
Mr. Nyahr says “His early game just stomps you. He'll poke heavy with spears and his combo might just outright kill you. Wait until you outscale and punish him late game.”
Generally Break says “The rework made this match a lot easier. Use minion cover against his spear, and he'll have to W to fight and E defend himself; he'll burn through his mana fast to keep even.”
Kalrex says “Once you understand the matchup, quite easy to outplay. Force him to farm near your tower if you can. When you go in to trade pre-9, E then Q to slow- hold your W until after he uses his shield. Most pantheons will immediately use it in a panic. If you hold it, you'll be able to use it after his shield is down. Post 9, just spam your W into his shield who cares you have infinite machine gun. Great times to initiate are when he walks up to try and stun. Like so many other champs here, you outscale past the laning phase so long as you don't let him get ahead. Build frozen mallet first after bc against him. ”
Ze mentira says “Max Q. Rune: Comet Page.
start corrupt potion and back with dark seal.
//Sunfire cape or Iceborn Gauntlet were good items to fight him.
//just poke and back. Make he spend his shield, back, wait your Q cooldown, and poke again.”
Hamstertamer says “Everybody hates laning against Pantheon, but Nasus can sustain from his poke, stack HP and armor, and fight him with his ult. Use Q as an autoattack reset so he can't parry it. Iceborn gauntlet into another armor item like dead man's plate. Definitely not a bad lane.”
Pacal Votan says “Very mana hungry. Just max your E and poke him. Be careful with his ignite. Rush a doran blade here for sustain. Start with doran ring”
EpicDan01 says “He will beat you until you have rank 2 R. His early damage is very high, but later on his lack of a combat ultimate means you can beat him. Avoid going near him if his passive has at least 3 charges.”
Rhinoface says “He excels at short trades; going bone plating is helpful and following him down autoing after his combo. After you're 6 shouldn't have any issues.”
sir monsieur says “All the major threats for Top Sona are champions with no skillshot guaranteed approach skills, pokes, stuns and no mana, so Pantie is the most one who can execute you after lvl 3-4 by just hitting buttons right. He can block your Passive empowered pokes with his E, instantly approach with his W and poke you with his Q infinitely. All of his kit is designed to abuse you, so I prefer to ban Pantheon if only he's not my team jungler.
If you're unlucky to face him, read matchup details below.”
Poppu says “(9.16) Panth's new reworked kit is actually a bit easier to play against now! His Q is a skill shot, his W is the same, and his E is now a Braum Shield (he only negates ALL damage the direction he faces, so if position yourself behind him [flash, movement speed, dash, etc.] you will deal damage!). Stay wary of his passive when he charges up his stacks, as it deals extra dmg for his next ability. A bit more bruiser than before, but less tricky to play against!”
Aizo says “Your job is to not be in range of him if you are below 50% HP because Pantheon has an execute on low health enemies and it is quite easy for him to execute you at low levels due to your relatively low HP pool. If you let him get ahead of you earlygame with kills you are going to have a rough time. It is more effective to give up a few CS in order to not die ”
SoulHero says “Really annoying this patch, but they are nerfing his q in 9.20. Defensive build, YOU DESTROY HIM MIDGAME-LATE. Once you get BC and Deaths dance, you sht on him hard. I WARN YOU AGAINST LVL 1 E TRADE ON THIS ONE. He can outdmg you with his q. play safe, don't get poked by q, lose cs if you have to, you outscale, flip when he e's. He will most likely engage on you with w, save ur flip till his e or u need to run away. If he ults u can flip him as he lands.”
ShroudComplex says “I wouldn't consider the new Pantheon a threat to Akali anymore as you can now see when he's blocking damage, and you're able to stun him through it, though that's not that important since it's micro anyways. Don't attempt to kill pantheon under his tower alone, as his kit is perfect for avoiding dives. If you're going to dive at all, make sure you have the support of your team as well as a gap in Strength & Ultimate. *Zhonya's Hourglass Helps*”
Vodka4Gaben says “You should be able to win every fight against him, your 5 bleed is too much for him, but you should watch out for his damage. Don't auto attack him when he uses his E, walk around him and wait for it to expire, than use your combo and fight him.”
Petethebossch says “Build Armor against him and you will be fine. Ask for jungle assistance pre 6 to be abel to roll over the lane. Eventually you can just tank his damage and sustain it through your q's just dont overextend 1-5.”
MehmetPower69 says “Try to prevent pantheon from landing his stun and go for a return w.
You will have to either wait until lvl 6 where your ult is more powerful and useful than his or you try to poke him down with Q and bully this lane as much as possible.”
Super_Cat says “I'm not 100% sure about this, but on paper pantheon should be stronger.
Pantheon can easilly poke you with his q.
He can block all dmg you do with your q with his e.”
TiuHiikou says “One of the worsts matchups for u, his passive fucks all your combo, but with a gank and him missplaying something, u can kill him. Go Dorans Shield and Pot.”
Lynboe says “Il est recommandé de faire un Doran’s Shield ainsi que de prendre Second Wind afin de diminuer le poke qu’il inflige avec son spam Q, mais dans tous les cas vous allez l’outscale.
Il pourrait potentiellement représenter un danger jusqu’au lvl 6 mais vous pourrez ensuite lui courir dessus, faites attention à ne pas vous faire bloquer le W pour faire plus de dégâts, cependant même si son passif bloque les dégâts à l’impact, votre passif s’appliquera tout de même.
Respectez le et patientez jusqu'à votre premier power spike niveau 6 et tout devrait être simple.
”
Jnewbringspain says “Take Cloth Armor and x5 Health Potions. You will not kill him early, so just try to outlast his mana. He has a small mana pool so as long as you aren't taking basic attacks with his spears, you will survive it. You outscale Pantheon hard as the game goes on, so just wait for your opportunities to pop up.”
messketchup says “Play resolve secondary with second wind + Doran shield start. If you can possibly trade your Q with his Q and you should come out ahead in trades. Don’t be greedy with your backs if he can dive you.
If you guys go somewhat even, post six you will beat him in every 1v1 because of his lack of an actual combat ult, assuming you don’t waste your W on his passive. You end up being more worried about your teammates more than anything.”
Smartest2 says “An EXTREMELY difficult lane for Teeto. Max Q in this lane to poke Pantheon with. At rank 3 Q you should be able to start out poking him. Take the cs hit early levels instead of feeding.”
Sukay says “Stay in bushes so he can't harass you 24/7. When jumping on him, don't pre-use Q, so that your jump auto takes his shield off, and then go in on him.
You can also empW his stun and go behind him to dodge the AoE he always casts after stun.”
Jnewbringspain says “Pantheon bypasses your W with all of his casting abilities. He will simply poke you down. His passive also blocks your basic attacks, and his W will refresh it, making it almost impossible to damage him.”
Rikimarox2 says “His early game, Just like in lane, Is extremely painful. Don't fight him pre-6, once you reach level 8-9, and get sheen and enough stacks, you should be able to defeat him. that's if he isn't fed. Also, always AA Before Qing him, because his Passive can block your Q.”
Prince Afghan says “Pantheon's strength lies entirely in the early game. If you can survive till Level 6 without dying, you have won the lane. After lane phase Pantheon can't keep up with your splitpush and will lack the tankiness to survive your attacks.”
BlankBR says “ Yasuo is really weak against point and click displacement and (W) Wind Wall has a long cd at all levels, blind picking yasuo can be dangerous against these matchups.”
M2 Jizu says “Antes de atravesar tu Q quitale el escudo con un ataque básico normal.
llevo bastante tiempo sin jugar contra un Pantheon pero no es muy difícil. :)”
Yisuo says “Same as jayce, if he knows the limits of panth, u cant win without a jungler, shove when he roams and hopefully u can make it to 25 mins, then its easy, get tabi and u can duel him”
Lil Tidepod says “Pantheon can be a really big irritant because of his point and click CC, poke with his spear, and the fact that he can jump. He can do a lot of damage and can kill you early. His passive makes it really hard to kill him and it also makes it easy for him to dive, because it can take a tower shot and he can walk away with no damage. I recommend trying to start off any trade with your E, which will take down his passive block. Be careful and take short trades. If his stun is down, ulti him into a knockup Q. He'll take a ton of damage from it. I'd say farm up, push hard, and call for jungle help if he's too strong for you.”
Rage Shadey says “Pantheons kit makes it EXTREMELY difficult to land a stun on him. If you find yourself against him then the best chance you have is to knock him down before lvl 3 so you can be fed enough to sustain his onslaught without your stun since he can block it and as soon as he uses his gap closer his shield is back up to block it again stunning you and giving him time to do enough damage to bring it up once again.”
ARandomizer says “Yeah, Pantheon is a much lower threat the Garen. Avoid his stun and his Ultimate. Be agile in game, use living forge for merc threads, and standard items. If he can't land a combo he can't win”
BrvndonLmao says “I would consider pantheon as a pretty hard matchup, take tenacity rune into this matchup, and try to play smart, as his shield blocks your autos, and nothing else.”
LighterDay says “Mordekaiser can interrupt Pantheon's jump by using Death's Grasp. Mordekaiser's passive will keep Panth at bay since it is an AOE effect.”
Plank4Life says “Hm ... Pantheon, never, never, NEVER try to 1v1 in early, he can destroy you hard and you will be reported for int by your team. (hahaha)”
ImpossibleLogic says “Oh boy. Pantheon has the best early game of any top laner other then Vayne. Not only does he have wave clear, he also has a longer poke and can stun you. His passive also means that if you hit your passive when its up, no health returned. Just hope enemy jungler doesn't pick him.”
Brentard says “Spin and W when he all ins. Try to be mindful of his passive. Most of my Panth fights look like this AA>W>AA>Q>E>AA. He likes to stun this one. ”
LoadScrenn says “ilk safalarda sizi habire qyla dürtecektir yapmanız gereken safe durup 6 level olmayı beklemek latesi garene göre güçsüzdür pantheonun yeteri kadar kasıldığınızda yada 6 level olduğunuzda direk pantheon alabiliyonuz rahatça ama ginede ilk dkklarda 6 levela kadar koridorda safe durun ve sadece minyon yapmanız ve xp geri kalmamanız lazım”
DrMoneybags says “Taking Dorans Shield in this matchup is key to surviving early. He can't kill you very easily, so just try to play passive until you get some items. Just recall if you get dismounted and TP back, its not worth dying. Much like Quinn, always ping MIAs to prevent him from snowballing.”
kubsak26 says “Easy matchup. Wait untill you will have all 3 of your abilitis and start poke. Surprisingly your poke ist much better then his. The only thing you need to be worry is his w you need to counter it with your q so don't be greedy with it and use it as fast as u can stun with it. If you don't you will lose a solid chunk of hp or he can even kill you with burst in early. Try to interupt his farm as much as posible with poke don't die and he will be useless in mid and late.”
Shroom101 says “pantheon is an easy match, in this match up you have to max Q and try to trade Q with his spear, once your Q goes on cd you have to back off until you have your cd's up again and go trade again, rinse and repeat”
Zdenster says “Take Arcane Comet. Max E straight. Rush Phage or Tabis. Insta-ping when he is MIA. You will outscale him, because he is early game champ. He is almost all time using Ignite so remember that.”
TheNinjaRoid says “You'll probably always lose this matchup, unless he's bad or you're far ahead. Ask for ganks if you want to have a chance to win lane. His Q crits if you have low HP and his E makes him invincible for a short amount of time. Beware of dives in this matchup.”
Jomppe says “[Top] Pantheon Is very powerful in the early game, try to farm lvl 6 before you try to kill him. With Ghoul's you can poke damage to him, but look lvl 1 trade”
MrFakeHero1 says “Take resolve secondary and this becomes quite an easy lane. blind him after his combo so his autos will miss and the trade becomes even. once you proc conqueror you will out heal him and out damage him.”
Khazem says “Whatever you do, do not let him keep spamming Q on you for free. Try to stay out of his range when your shield is down and whenever he does Q you, retaliate immediately. Try to shield as much of his Q spam as possible.”
Carlosm04 says “man jogue safe , n lute contra ele ( se o jg for ganka lute) jogue safe, farma oq tu consegue . fechou a trindade, vai pra cima dele q nem maluco”
ElleryTheViking says “Easy. His passive shields are useless. Your Q and E both go through it. All he's doing is restricting one auto. Post 6 if he leaps to stun you, ult ghost and all in. He's dead no matter what. ”
BlackguardRaven says “Personally, this man is really annoying, and whenever his shield is up, make sure you aa him, blind, mushroom bait maybe, and ignite+aa's if really low. You should be fine. Just don't mess up. They should rage quit in lower elos lmao”
kingkang2 says “Tough lane. Play like a Nasus early and hold off on summoning ghoulings until he jumps on you. Get armor and hit 6 and you will win the 1v1s as long as he is not crazy ahead.”
SynergyXO says “Lane bully, if you dont kill him level 1-2 its pretty hard to kill him. i play this lane passive until he is out of mana, then all in, or wait for jungle. dont let his passive beat you”
Naniboi101 says “Oppressive in lane has a block for passive takes ignite and out pokes from far range. Hard to parry his cc and if snowballs you should just farm somewhere else.”
Samas says “Bullies you until you uninstall, trading wont be that fun either because of his W. Has no escapes - try to set up ganks to punish if he overextends ”
francodm says “Pantheon é um dos personagens mais difíceis de se jogar contra. Sua passiva cancela o dano do autoattack do Teemo e do seu veneno além de ter um gap closer e um allin bem forte. Pantheon é a única matchup que eu recomendo que maximize o Q. Use a página de runa do Aery”
E61K says “This lane is frustrating. He will constantly poke with Q's and punish you for trying to CS. Start Doran's Shield and go for Second Wind to deal with his constant poke. Also go for Conqueror. Invest into some early armor and play it cool until you're level 6 since pre-6 there isn't much you can do. Post-6 though, provided you tanked up enough to survive a full all-in + Ignite, you'll beat him without a problem. Pantheon has no combat ultimate and is very weak in all-ins since he isn't a champion who thrives in prolonged fighst. If you aren't careful enough Pantheon can shut you down pretty hard. He is extremely reliant on snowballing since he falls off extremely hard. Darius isn't as reliant on snowballing as Pantheon is. As long as you get XP, stay somewhat even in CS and don't give him any kills you are doing fine in this matchup. The pressure is on him, not on you. TP can work well here but personally I take Ghost against him.. ”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Early game poke, High base damage. Global presence. Weaknesses: Out-scaled and Falls off, no built in sustain. One of the only matchups I recommend not taking Doran’s blade is against this guy (Although it is still possible to). You need to mentally prepare yourself before the game starts and make yourself realize no matter how hard you try you are not winning the laning phase against this guy. Just take Corrupting Potion or cloth armor plus pots and play the waiting game and just farm. It is perfectly fine to miss CS if you know you will tank a Q for it. The less of a lead he has coming out of laning phase, the better. This is because he is much weaker in the late game so once enough time has passed you should be able to deal with him. It is possible to win lane against him, but that is only if you know the matchup like the back of your hand, your reaction time is great when parrying his W, or the Pantheon player just sucks.”
Miracle Matter says “Please note: Pantheon starts as an 8, and becomes a 4 once you have some mana.
During the early laning phase, he can harass you endlessly, and walk you down/kill you if he lands a stun on you. Do not attempt to slow+stun him early on as harass. This will drain all of your mana and he'll just heal through it. Instead, let him shove while you attempt to poke/last hit from afar. Once you have Tear and Lost Chapter, or at least Tear, you can start destroying him. Just slow+stun him anytime he attempts to come near you at all. You'll quickly find he can't come anywhere near you, can't weather all of your harass, and can't match your waveclear. So start shoving him under tower.
Last tip: When he ults a location, double-bomb the center of his ulti radius. He will stun himself instantly upon landing, giving you a bit longer to walk away.”
Saiyan02 says “Very hard poke matchup and his passive makes him quite tanky as well. He has so many things which stops your all in so play passively against Pantheon. He will try and q you a lot but don´t worry he can´t burst you down.”
Hootsman says “Pantheon's passive blocks Warwick's Qs and autos, making it very hard to deal with. However, with Warwick's sustain and E, you can survive his burst and maybe win in a fight.”
NOH giel says “A extreme lane bully is very hard to deal with. Pant is the best example of a hard lane bully. If you miss your E you are going to have a hard time in lane.”
xafemode says “Can make your life incredibly difficult. Blocks autoes, pokes you out, and can do reasonably ballsy dives to mess you up. Also kayle's lack of mobility can come to bite you with his high base move speed and ulting behind you”
MedicineBall says “Pantheon used to be extremely strong vs Kayle, now I am not so sure. Pantheon can stunt Kayle early, but when Kayle gets range and starts to build up, Pantheon should fall off and be more of an even to minor threat.”
Sion says “I'm not sure what's worse. A melee toplaner who relies on poke before engage, or a melee toplaner who literally puts himself in a situation to get a full charged Q by Sion.”
TSA_Exotic says “Pantheon's poke with his Q in to his stun and AoE is a lot of burst damage, even more so when you can only return 1 auto even though you shot 2 because of his passive. You have to play safe and, again, pick your opportunities and make the most of them because it will be in favor of Pantheon to begin with.”
SkullNatoR says “personally one of my worst matchups
all he needs is 0 skills (spams q) and all in you with w e q
get doran shield+raptos cloak
then pd or pd+fist for survivability
after you kill him, you might push and forget he can ult behind you while you are pushing, take care
”
Proxxecube says “He's stupid and I hate him. His passive negates any of your vitals, and his only stun is also pretty hard to predict. Ban him every game.”
mellemonsterr says “pantheon can block an auto attack or turret shot with his passiv and alof is much about auto attacks but if you poke him with Q so he gets lower than you can easaly kill him ”
Predederp says “Probably one of the hardest top laners to face, he will jump on you and kill you, play defensive against him and try to bait under turret”
NDarKnight says “dont go in fight with him cause his passive will block your blinding dart, if you want go in fight with him just go basic then go blinding dart so his passive dont block blind.”
yingwaiwastaken says “Pantheon is an easy lane. Be aggressive (but don't overextend) and take ignite. You generally won't get your passive damage off but you will win most trades. ”
matthew0465 says “His poke is super annoying. You might be able to outplay him but I highly doubt that. Roaming might not be as useful because Panth is gonna always poke and trade better.”
Trixelkour says “If he blocks your stun, just back off and harass with Q and W when you can. Abusive early as always, but falls off late game as you build more HP and Armor. You should win with Ignite and Heal at hand, throws him off a little for you to counterplay.”
heyitsRainex says “Pantheon's damage falls off pretty quickly after dying 1-2 times during laning phase. You can engage when his passive is not up yet. Pressure the lane to prevent Pantheon from roaming with his R.”
RReag says “Try to lvl 2 all in him without taking too much damage lvl 1.
Fast push first wave and hit lvl 2 before him, bring ignite. Don't get him a lead. ”
WhispeRCZ says “hes gonna throw a spear at ya, and then again, and another one, just buy dorans shield some potions and ignore that poke, and when he does his wombocombo do yours and you will be fine”
SirDeRp25 says “Extremely Difficult laner for any Teemo to face. Start Doran Shield, and rush a Frozen Mallet then proceed with core build. Attempt to freeze the wave and ask jungle for help.”
E61K says “A good pantheon keeps nearly everybody down in lane. At least for pre-6. Start Doran's shield and invest into the resolve tree for your secondary path. Take Second Wind and Bone Plating to deal with his constant barrage of Q's in lane. Pantheon is dependent on snowballing. You aren't. Rush Tabis as your first item. Wait for ganks. Ping your team when he hits 6. Pantheon's post-6 roams almost always turn out successful if they remain unaware of. You outscale him hard, so there is no rush. Just don't die to him and you have already done your job in this lane. If Pantheon snowballs on you you're in trouble. Your windwall isn't really of any use since his Q has such a low CD. Also take a look at which summs Pantheon is running. If he is running ignite tell your Jungler to punish him for not taking TP. If your jungler refuses to gank play super cautious and passive. You can't afford to mess up this match-up.”
Omega best says “Pantheon is super annoying, he has a block, he does alot of damage early game and pokes you very easily, build armor, try to bait him while being ganked by an ally and flip him in your minion wave when his shield his removed, dont fight him at all cost even tho he has more minions than you and play extremelly safe”
Xozec says “Panth deals most damage with his Q. Jax cant really block it in any way. Also there is a chance that Pantheon's passive will block your W or third more powerful attack from R passive.”
L4stG4mer says “DON'T MAX TOXIC SHOT. You'll need Blinding Dart and Move Quick badly if you want to survive lane, and Pantheon can block your AAs while smashing and stabbing your face in. Blinding Dart is a MUST if you want to poke from a distance. Still, be careful.
As teemo tower hug this match up, cs behind the tower so he cant Q harass, if he does AA him to knock off passive tower will also hit me tag him with Q, and start with the flask and pots if you b always stock up on pots”
Zachlikespizza says “Pantheon is very annoying early in the lane, his q spam can destroy your health bar and his passive will nulify your passive when he jumps on you. Try to survive to level 6 and then you'll have a bigger advantage.”
Mouadyam says “hard matchup, ideal way to win is to wait for him to go oom early, or just farm safely until 6 and dunk him then since he has no "while fighting" ultimate, some early armor is helpful and start dorans shield.”
Demon Lord AC0 says “Pantheon is a dick. Since he will rush Lethality, you'll get bursted by him eventually. And also will spam Q's at you in lane until you're low enough to be killed. He is useless in the late game tho.
Start with Doran's Shield and rush Vamp Scept. for sustain”
TakeLPlease says “Pantheon, much like Jax, can block instead of dodge. His block will make your brush hop or ultimate do no damage, so be aware of this. The way to counter is to waste his dodge first, or use your auto as your main attack.”
FlakNShrapnel says “If you take Doran's Shield this will be an easy lane. You heal so much from poke damage you won't even feel it. Once he jumps into stun just run him down and eat him.”
Trixelkour says “Unwinnable lane most of the time. Take out his block before engaging, and you might have a chance. Will poke you out of lane every chance he gets, but if you get your taunt on him with more than half health, you win. Sunfire or Omen is good for duels. Take PTA for maximum kill potential. Peel for team late game.”
Coelinha says “Não morra antes do 6,Provavelmente tu vai morrer,não fique triste//depois do 6 a lane fica even//Level 11+ o jogo fica mais gostoso pra você.”
Cyl1nd4 says “You can start cloth armor + pots OR Dorans shield+pot. But even with help of your Jungle the Laning-Phase should be really hard. Don´t force fights you will lose! If you notice he gets lowmana and wants to dive try to bait, without mana you can outplay him sometimes.”
Teemo Mochileiro says “Comece com Anel de Doran e maximize o Q. No lvl 1 você ganha a troca, depois disso fique recuado e tente não tomar lanças pois você perde muito fácil.”
iam colorblind says “Start with Cloth Armor!
Play very safe and dont push!
Build Ninjatabis for sure!
Go for Roams but dont get cheesed at
your way back to top! ”
Skullsunderer says “His passive blocking a AA makes it so you have to fight longer, this provides him the chance to Stun, stad and spear you if he has half a brain. Just poke it out and make some plays. Don't no matter what you do fight him while low, he has a pseudo execute with a passive crit on people below 15& health.”
TheSuporter says “A poke lane. If you can shield his spears properly he will burn his mana like crazy and have to leave. Watch out for his crit passive and roams.”
joelblack says “Sparticus can cheese your ass early game. Titan runes are your best friend in this matchup. Just avoid poke as much as possible and wait til 6 to jump his ass. Even with a kill or two lead, you can still crush him when you ult in. Don't let him get too far ahead tho, or he'll get all that scary lethality and murk your ass. ”
CaioOP1985 says “His spears are the most annoying pieces of crap this game has to offer, period. He can stun you and his early game damage is a pain in the butt, so play as safe as possible and do not engage him at all. Later on, pop his passive with a normal auto-attack and smack the hell out of him after that.”
OrangeBeard says “You can almost w whenever he has his q up so when he does, e him before he stuns you then engage onto him as long as you have river warded or you have ult up ready to stop him from dealing damage to you, and early clth armour stops his massive poke and makes it something you can sustain much easier.”
Ashnard says “Pretty is a pretty easy matchup for aatrox as you outdamage his trades at any stage and he can't poke consistently due to mana issues. Just be mindful that your passive damage will almost always be blocked and he will roam with ult a lot which gives you free space to build a gold lead.”
CBonez says “Pantheon's passive blocks your q (your main source of damage) and because of the hard cc and the constant poke it's going to get really hard to farm. So you should just try to switch with someone if you get this matchup. But if you're forced to play agaisn't him just play under tower.”
thedunkening111 says “Not too bad. Triple bead start can prove really useful here, especially since you just want to avoid fighting the guy until you get some items. Even you outscale pantheon, I'd like to think.
Take Aftershock”
galvapheonix says “ This is not a fun lane, Pantheon does a lot of damage, has great roam, and can dive you without taking damage. If you are forced into this, play very safe, build Ninja Tabi early, and make sure to auto him once before you use your Q so he doesn't block the bulk of the damage. If he takes ignite and uses his ult to roam, that is your opportunity to farm up and regain what you lost in the laning phase, maybe even get first tower or rift herald.”
T1 Lilou Senpai says “Pantheon is a really strong champion right now, playing against him might be a challenge for you, but shouldn't be too hard if you use your w properly to par his stu. ”
DNAGCPL says “Consegue cancelar seu Q com facilidade e tem uma rotação melhor que a sua, mas seu late game é mais forte que o dele e você é mais útil em team fights”
THEUnknownPlayer says “pantheon"s passive gives a Block skill that if you first him it will block my tips is remove her block shield then if she jumps's you: Dash him before she E you and make sure you have a Creeps that can help you down her Easily”

Tips Against Pantheon in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Glitchgun says “Just bait his stun out and be sure you have set your feathers up behind him before he jumps. This matchup is not that dangerous”
Twisted Tea Fate says “His W range is exactly the same as your gold card range, so you can't hit him without losing half your HP. His ult is also almost the same range as yours so he can follow you very easily. Buy an early rapid firecannon.”
AnxialSociety says “When pantheon uses shield, you can R behind and E or Q him.
When he goes for stun and you e him, let minions hit him before you pop.
Otherwise play safe and ping when he hits 6 for roam.
Don't let him go in on you if you're below 60%”
Deru says “He marauds you in early trades but it's doable to solokill him if you are more skillfull in trades. You can also outshove him and help team before he gets level 6.”
MiniLuxi1 says “Keep your distance, stand passively, during his jump-stun, you can try to put W so that he can't play on you quickly, or if you are skilled enough, throw your Q into his "flight". Although he is a bruiser, but he can kill easily. Also, his E, the shield, can take any of your damage if he looks in your direction.”
StralekS says “Not Playable: Conqueror/ Resolve (Conditioning and Overgrowth), Ignite + Flash, Doran Shield/ Dark Seal start. Play lane safely, farm, and when he wastes ability, punish him with Q and if you are in good situation go all in. Idealy go full AP. Recommended Sunderer rush with Doran Shield start.”
Deru says “He marauds you in early trades but it's doable solokilling him if you are more skillful in trades. You can also outshove him and help team before he gets level 6.”
YourDreamWaifuu says “[Runes: Conqueror]
[Item: Long Sword]
[Mythic: Eclipse]
[Be careful on his R so he dont roam that much] [Poke him with basic combos] [Wait for you jg anyways you cant rly kill him] [Try bait his E then you can try go in]”
Demonsedge90 says “He's a pest to deal with when playing Syndra in the lane, and if he immobilizes you, it could be your demise. If you think he is getting ready to jump on you with his w stun, have scatter the weak available to interrupt it.”
Atemporal says “Esta pista é realmente difícil no início. Você não deve morrer para ele cedo ou ele vai se tornar uma bola de neve como um louco e você não poderá vencê-lo por muito tempo. Deixe-o empurrar. Se ele iniciar o nível 1 do Q, você pode relaxar Se ele começar com W então você tem que ser super passivo.
Apenas obter XP dos primeiros 3 lacaios corpo a corpo é suficiente se o Pantheon subir muito. Nunca deixe ele te ligar de graça. Afaste-se de E antes que ele chegue ao alcance porque seu Q e E ainda o atingirão, mesmo que você afaste-se após o atordoamento. Você tem que aceitar que você
não pode ganhar cedo. É por isso que eu gosto de pegar o Conqueror neste confronto apenas para escalar, mas perder Minion Demat torna mais difícil para você se mover pelo mapa antes do nível 9. Se o Panth estiver jogando muito agressivo, você pode lançar W antes que ele o atordoe,
e ele provavelmente ficará atordoado se você colocar W corretamente em cima de si mesmo. A coisa mais importante sobre este confronto é que você TEM que pingar seus roams. Você não pode seguir um Pantheon R. Solte as sentinelas na pista para ver de que lado ele anda
em direção, então SPAM PING seus laners. Se ele enviar R para um roam e falhar, a lane é ganha para você. Conseguir uma Guarda de Braço do Apanhador é bom nesta lane, e é uma obrigação se o jungler inimigo também for um campeão AD. Você já pode começar
vencendo 1v1 quando você tem a Guarda de Braço + Alternador do Seeker, e então para cada conclusão de item você se torna cada vez mais forte em comparação com ele. Quando você tem Protobelt você pode E - Q nele e então Protobelt atrás dele quando ele
usa seu escudo E para tirar o dano.”
Wizahd says “He WILL just jump on you, Q then E away. Your best friend is stopping that and poking him down. Most of the time he can't play without his jungler. Don't go for plating unless you're sure either he's dead, or his R is down.”
IamBishop says “I would put even but levels 1 and 2 you pretty much stat check him, I recommend setting up freezes pre 6 for your jungle to gank, if your jungle is more of a farming champ like karthus then I would priorise shoving him in and looking to respond to threats. Prevent him from roaming for free with his ult and keep track of where he is for your team. In fights you can look to duel him or use him as an ult target to get into their backline. ”
Lucid Walking says “You outrange this guy easily. Beware of his Flash + Stun combo. It sets up a nasty kill if his jungler comes . Vision is key in this matchup.”
Mrobby says “Pantheon jungle is not terrible after his buffs, but he is also not great. your passive armor from E and gore-drinker should allow you to survive his burst. his E will stop you from bursting him though, so i suggest building defensive items over burst.”
Balinthun873 says “If he manages to jump on you and stun you, then 60% of your health is good as gone. Lane really carefully, respect his damage and his range. Be ready to go behind him when he uses E”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “If u manage to survive to lv7 you pretty much won the lane. Be carefull tho as his damage early is massive and if ure not careful he can easily kill you. His ult is not combat one so in fights you have some advantage past6. try to place barrel underneath you and if he jumps on you, W the stun, destroy the barrel, passive and run away if you wont kill him.”
Spoomk says “Pantheon can be difficult depending on the player, but you actually do win a lot of the engages that either he or you starts, especially early on in laning phase. If he pops his jump on you, just W him in return and do your combo. ”
CFCryo says “Nowhere near as threatening as pre-rework. Abuse you range when his abilities are on cd. You can stop his E stun midleap with your own E with good timing. Try not to get too low and dodge spears. Take boots and Titanic Hydra first.”
Veng Shotz says “He outdamages you early game and completely negates you with an e press. Your best bet is to make sure you dont die to him and stalemate the lane. When even, you outscale him at 20minutes.
Theres not much on how to play the lane, he will zone you as soon as minions crash with empowered q, which will out damage your entire q rotation even if you hit it (you wont, its level 1.)
he'll immediately push for lvl 2 and look to all in you with w+q, and level 3 he can completely negate all form of retaliation with e, take no damage in the process, so you cant heal. It depends on the pantheon player but good ones wont let you play the game.
As stated, try to play safe and farm, and out teamfight him mid game. ”
Adamonias says “Pantheon favoured, but very playable. Never walk into his Q range its pretty much the same as your Auto range for reference. If he jumps on you, you're probably dead, but he should never be able to jump on you. You hard outscale, ping his 6 and try to match his ult with your own.
His spear(Q) is only worrying if you're super low. otherwise you just farm and poke and chill.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “When playing as a ranged champion, try to stay as far back as possible while using your range advantage to harass him. Staying at max distance will make it difficult for him to jump on you with his Shield Vault(W). After he hits level 6, be careful when moving back to lane if he’s not already shown. He may use his Ultimate to get behind you and all-in you as soon as you get back to lane. At level 1, be careful of Pantheon's early pressure as he can often cheese a kill and force you to blow Summoner Spells or health potions.”
Phirito says “I hate this man. I wish he would dissappear off of the face of this earth and never show his face again. Instant ban top & support lane.”
SM1LSE says “Pantheon is the most skill diff champ against Xerath I've found so far, a bad one will be a free lane but a good one will make your life miserable. You can beat him with pure poke because most of his damage will come from his full stack spears and his stun combo. Take exhaust, dodge the spears, and play safe and you can win this lane with relative ease.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “When playing as a ranged champion, try to stay as far back as possible while using your range advantage to harass him.

At level 1, be careful of Pantheon's early pressure as he can often cheese a kill and force you to blow Summoner Spells or health potions.”
Body Those Fools says “This matchup is free. He will never be able to engage unless he Flashes because of your range advantage so make sure you're always spacing him (if he clicks forward at you, you click backward). Stand behind minions so his Q will do less damage (if he throws it). Don't bother using cooldowns to trade with him when he uses his E; he is invulnerable if he's facing you. You outscale him very hard, so just get Lost Chapter and then start poking and you're chilling. Spam ping MIA when he tries to roam or he's just missing in general since he wants to make plays with his Ult. You can cancel his W with your Ult if you're quick enough.”
KayyeN says “Not popular on midlane at the moment, but unplayable if you face him. Everytime you make any move, he will shred your HP bar with his point-and-click W into Q. Try dodging his spears, especially the close range ones and all spears when you're low HP. Keep in mind that he can follow your roams easily with his R.”
Edex_StarsUpYourASol says “He has the early strength, but as long as you ward and gank after Pantheon, he will falter and never climb back to equal gold.”
Super08131208 says “He trades too well early-game. His W+E+Q combo will burst you down. Play safe till 6 so you have enough dashes to get behind him when he uses his shield and burst him.My Personal Perma Ban
”
Uberizm says “Hahahaha this would be a permaban but thankfully no one plays him mid anymore. Its turbo cancer bc he can block Q and E, and just outdamages you. plus he has a stun AND can out roam you !!! so fun !!!”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: Aftershock]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport or Exhaust]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring or Corrupting Potion]
[Play safe early and ask for ganks]
[Buy Plated Steelcaps and Zhonya's Hourglass]”
Esrucnl says “Little to impossible to win early on. He will outtrade you and make ur life a hell. Also has his E ability which makes him immune to damage for a bit. So he can soak your combo / trade pattern. Don't fight him early once you have an item or two depending on game state you will win against him.
Tip: try bait his E before you R. If jungler is ganking just press R so you slow him and you get his E out so you can both burst him down after.”
Azurio says “Really strong early game, you can't really counter his W. play as far as possible and chill farm. If you see him walk towards you to stun, smoke him and run. You outscale him most of the times and will be relevant in teamfights.”
ddieguito_es says “Check Irelia in major counters. Same things, but you always can kill him post 6. If he gets BOTRK, tho, you must get Armor Boots and Warden's Mail.”
Akamatsuu says “A única matchup que eu diria que é injogável. O personagem é imoral contra assassinos, totalmente antiburst, possui maior potencial de roaming do que você. Counter de Pantheon pra Qiyana é dodge.”
Bunny Kata says “He is only strong early game, you just outscale him way too hard. Play safe early. When you fight him, just remember to E behind him. Dodge his Q's in lane, and don't let him go on you with his W.
Flash/Ghost-TP + Doran's Ring”
Magmora says “Pantheon relies on having 5 passive stacks to fight. If he has his W and passive, you cannot go near him. Whenever he doesn't have passive up try and harass him and stop him from getting his passive back up. In laning phase he is really dangerous, and after 6 he can follow your roams. But if you don't fall to far behind you just outscale him.”
donidaking says “He s melee but with a gap closer that stuns you ,you can pool his stun and just poke him with auto+Q+shortE don t go for long trades because of his E.
If you are behind him your E damage will not be reduced.
Be careful his Q deals increased dmg to targets below 20% hp.”
Whitelies says “Don't attempt to trade with Pantheon. You can bait him into using his E if you ult and then get behind him where he casts his E to counter that. That's where you can easily kill him. Prowler's Claw would be good against him too.”
PandoraV says “Can both stun you & deal high damage, as well as block your attacks with his shield ability. Not much of a threat without items, just play around his abilities & your chance of winning is rather high.”
Zero macro says “Far Gap Closer ---> Punishes sidelaners and out of position players. good early / mid game damage presence. Nullifier with E on Caitlyn R”
ROLVe says “Pantheon is an extreme threat, especially early-game.He blocks alot of damage because of his Passive. Try to get lvl advantage, don’t take risks and make sure to dash trough him when he uses E. !Use Lethal tempo in this Match-up!”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: Electrocute]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport or Barrier or Exhaust]
[Starting Item: Doran's ring or Corrupting Potion]
[Stay out of his range and farm as much as possible]
[Buy Zhonya's Hourglass]”
FyreRode says “He can burst you during his W stun and then E away from your dmg making him a hard matchup to deal with. A pretty losing lane but as long as you get farm where he lets you and die as little as possible it's still winnable.”
DabiDabi says “Pantheon is a lane bully. It's almost impossible to beat him as long as his W and E are up. Respect his early game, dodge his Q's and only all in at 6 if you know that at least his E is down so you won't miss out of your dmg. ”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: First Strike or Summon Aery]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport or Exhaust]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring or Corrupting Potion]
[Recommended Mythic Item: Everfrost]
[Play safe until you get Mythic Item]
[Warn your team when he is lvl 6]
[Buy Zhonya's Hourglass]”
ThePieBeam says “Panth can be dangerous if he's very, very good. However, I've never see it so realistically you're going to be fighting a pretty easy lane. His W can jump your wall so if you're trying to use your W to escape, make sure his is on cooldown. His Q poke can do a lot of damage so don't forget to mind his stacks. Lastly his E can completely fuck your combo so be sure to put a wall behind him if you're going for a kill. Post-6 though, this lane is a joke. R, W, Q, E, R, W, Q, E over and over again. there's just nothing he can do about it. ”
Callmebee says “Pantheon is a really difficult match-up not only for his all in potential, but also because he can block so much of your poke/all in. This is a ''stay at max range, don't push your wave, wait for ganks'' kinda lane so be prepared to just farm up. You can try to hit him with E for Manaflow but save your Q's and, I can't stress this enough, do no walk forward. Take Barrier or Cleanse and early Seeker's Armguard/Tabi's if you're struggling.”
TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Doran's Shield start.] Pantheon players are nonstop aggression and will go in on repeat. Be ready to Q as he jumps on you with W. If you do this he will most likely use his E off his engage. While he is using it walk backwards while auto attacking him. Once it ends use your grapple to get good damage off on him. If you stand behind minions you can potentially win the trade with minions help.”
lonestar1870 says “He has a lot of damage early but falls off. Try to avoid fights early on and be careful of his point and click stun for gank setup.
Try to block his jump with your E.
Midgame: Don't push up too far if you don't know where Panth is, he can ult you if you overextend
TP is good so you can follow his roams, ignite is good for solokilling.
Electrocute is nice since panth plays very aggressive and so you can match, but you can go other rune pages if you plan to play very passive in lane.
Doran's ring is nice to counter his all in damage (with the health) but c-pot works to mitigate his Q poke if you feel you can avoid his all in.
Zhonyas or an early seekers is decent here.”
Desperate Nasus says “Laning vs Pantheon is hard. Level 1 and 2 he isnt that big of a threat for. The pain begins after his level 3. A good pantheon player will zone you out of your lane. Give up Cs and experience if needed. Pantheon 's kit is really good for dive so you should stay above 40% of your HP at all times. Your main goal against this matchup is to survive the laning phase with the help of Fleet footwork and Second wind. Trying to solo kill a pantheon is pointless due to his R which he can use to escape. Things are easier if you have a Jungler - Support with atleast 1 Cc ability. Overall focus on farming and surviving the laning phase, keep your resources for teamfights or objectives.”
itakute says “Only walk up when your passive is up, don't let him proc your shield for free. All in him when he jumps onto you and just try to kill him. Level 6+ the matchup is easier as his ult isn't that good in combat.”
joojnene says “He can block many of your aa and easily avoid your damage. The best thing you can do is get lvl 2 first and try get some advantage over him. ”
NotGudAtGame says “The main threat he has against you is his W so if dodging is important for you to survive lane. His q poke is annoying but you can sustain with your w. Walk behind his e if you want to do damage and he should not be a super big problem. You outscale him hard but you need to know where he is in teamfights in case he stuns you and blows you up.”
BlockPad says “You had to respect a lot pantheon because his burst damage is insane. Poke him hard as you can and keep you're W for when he engage you.”
Lowkii_d says “Point Click stun and high damage stop Akshan from being able to use grapplehook which pantheon can also block, plus able to block Akshan's ult”
livikattt says “Can jump on you and oneshot you, and also deflect a ton of your damage through his shield. If he engages on you, throw out W and Q while backing up towards your team/tower. He will probably E as he backs up, so wait for it to stop before going in to charm him. Remember that you can charm/everfrost him out of his ultimate.”
pwins says “Pantheon can easily lock you down with his W and poke you out of lane. Try to play passively against him and don't give him the opportunity to harass you. ”
WayOfTheTempesst says “This matchup is impossible early game unless he misplays. His kit just counters yours. You have
no way to trade with him because of his E. He can just full combo you on repeat and you have no way to react
or outplay it. You have to play super safe in this lane or you will die over and over. Do not walk up when
he has his passive fully stacked. You really only have a chance after you get Shieldbow, but even then, his
champ is just better early game. Play with the goal to scale. Use your W when he Qs or Ws you to dodge some
of the damage. You can E his W if you time it correctly.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “This matchup is pretty much impossible. He will just empowered W you over and over and kill you. Try to get lvl 2 before him by pushing the lane hard and Qing him if he walks up to the wave. Take advantage of your lvl 2 if he doesn't back up. Don't sit in his E and always make sure to dash away from it. You can Windwall his thrown Qs but he will most likely opt to use his melee Qs. Ping him mia at level 6 because they love to roam.”
Katawina52 says “Go resolve second here with Bone Plating (for his all in). Start Dshield and rush Seekers. I would avoid fighting him early unless you're in 2v2 scenario with a health advantage since its so easy to get dove by Pantheon and there's no way you win any trades early game especially if he has full stacks. Once you have one or two items this game should be way easier since you're way stronger in teamfights, but there's a reason hes on the hardest, not inting a pantheon is the hard part since it's easy gank setup + his E makes it easy to dive you so be careful. Remember that surviving early is key with matchups like Trist/Panth/Lucian.”
Drewmatth Taliyah says “Roamers Matchup. Go either Doran's or Corrupting depending on how aggressive you want to play. You can kill him but don't waste your entire combo when he has his E up as you probably won'd deal damage into his immunity. Try to be the first roamer or try to at least follow him when he dives bot. Push constantly because he has no push power.
Time Warp Tonic + Biscuits.”
Yeager says “One of the worst match ups. Use fleet footwork + resolve tree + Doran's shield start. On your first base you can get a doran's sword as well for some extra sustain and HP to survive his burst. Keep an eye on his passive stacks. A fully empowered Q is going to nuke you, so wait for him to use it before you walk up to farm or try to time his poke with your W shield. You can use the second part of your E OR your ultimate to cancel out his stun to nullify his engages. If it's a good pantheon, the only thing you can do is to use the full defensive page, try to farm up and wait for jungle ganks. You will outscale him really hard, so do your best at not giving him any kills in the lane and spam ping your teammates once he hits level 6. When you go trades, make sure he wasted his passive first. If you're lucky, you will sometimes be able to cancel out his W with your Q3(knock up). If you do that, there's a chance you can win the trade. Save E to dodge his empowered Q as well when you're going for trades. ”
Avucado says “Only take short trades and stay away when he can use empowered W. All short combos will work on him but walk away if he E's. His Q has an incredibly low CD and does a ton of damage considering. He can match roams, ping if he walks out lane and one of your lanes are shoved. Wait for his shield before going for an exe. If you position your exe correctly, you can exe Panth while his shield is up. Steelcaps arn't bad if they have a lot of other AD here.”
LunarVortex says “Very annoying early due to his high damage output. Be aware that he might just start perma-roaming bot if he cannot kill you past 6. Buy an early Seeker's Armguard if necessary.”
Curt Mcbeltpants says “Pantheon is a simple lane, don't die early to his combo and get seeker tabs, if your quick and have the anticipation you can cancel his stun with your E”
Urpog says “You flip him when he jumps on you and delete him, you deny him his purpose of being the early game god champion and outscale him, rejoice for your free LP.”
Baion says “Pantheon has a very strong burst damage. His engage is point-click, so get distance and farm safe. After is combo, he is vulnerable to you go for an all-in. Rush armor.”
angeLoon says “lethal dshield in Resolve Second wind,unflinching.
you can win long trades against him.
trade with him when he dont have his W
buy Chain Vest early and he cant kill you anymore.”
wDesired says “If your reaction time is fast enough it will be easy to dodge his W with your E (to not let him get of a easy QE) ;The Omnivamp build is good against this matchup.”
Dr Eggmund says “Don't let Pantheon get the upper hand on you. Your Q should out damage even his broken Q damage. His Combo's may do more damage within a shorter period of time but Pantheon won't get to his biggest strength being executing enemies at low health. As Vladimir you shouldn't get to low health unless you are playing like an Ape and as always let your team know when Pantheon has his Ult so they are prepared to back off when he's looking to roam.”
Baion says “Pantheon will burst you every time he finishes his mythic, so don't get close when he is fully stacked. Just short trade with him with a fast charged Q and E. Don't sit under the tower and cry, do roams and help your team!”
Coldsong says “Pantheon is a very difficult matchup, as his W can easily kill you if you are not careful. Make sure to respect him in lane and try to dodge his Q if possible. Only go for an all in if he uses his W and E, as those two abilities can easily prevent your engage.”
ParkboyYT says “Super annoying matchup but there is a way to deal with it. You can easily dodge his q with your w but when you try to trade he will instantly w you. I recommend always having water element and trying to long range q him to start an engage then disengage with a brush q so he cant target you with his w.”
resetwice says “He is tanky and can do a lot of damage! Don't all win when he E or your combo will be blocked. He can follow your roams with his R, so be careful. Try to flash/jump a wall to attack him at back if he E. Most times he will survive better on fights than you so take care on some extended trades. BEST RUNES TO GO: CONQUEROR”
Kessi says “Pantheon is an assassin counter (E block, W stun), also if you try to roam he can match with his R, one of the hardest matchups for midlane.
Best you can do is wait for help and do some trades. Still killable. Usually my Permaban.”
LucaSlaughter says “Pantheon is really strong and one w does insane damage, don't get in his w range only do your qwe combo until he is weak and you can finish him with r”
Sylvan Lore says “Pantheon is a strong laner, but he really has no place in mid lane. He does a very good job of going in, but really struggles to escape. He will win any trade with you where he lands his W, but short long distance trades should be relatively even against him. As long as you break even in this lane, you will be much more useful than him. Consider taxis if their jungler is also AD, otherwise a Seekers Armguard should suffice.”
TheDisconnectEUW says “FOR TOPLANE
Pantheon is terrible against Zilean mid, but in toplane the longer lane makes it very difficult to play. If you survive to level 6 you out scale him completely but getting there is a challenge!”
SVS Raka says “Unfair. Simply said. Pantheon gives you zero space for breathing and you must play really carefully to beat him. NO AGGRESSION. Just passively, wait for your jungler and then take his game against him.”
Impossible2Gank says “Any good panth will be able to control the lane well. Just be careful of his combo while near low health while waiting for your jungle to help. Armor is recommended early.”
TheoAsuratos says “My perma ban
this is the worst match up for talon in my opinion he win early but after lvl 6 u can be a lil bit useful
try to hit him from behind because of his shield And you will still lose btw xD”
duhnx says “Hard to play into but if you can pull him into turret, you get a free kill as his E no longer blocks turret shots. Careful of roaming due to his ult being basically global when in mid lane. Take Bone Plating.”
Grayified says “[MID/TOP] Any rune - Corrupting Potion - Barrier or Cleanse | Pantheon has a lot of damage, but he needs to lock you down with W to get a lot of it off. If his stun is down, then you are basically guaranteed a free kill, as long as you hold your dash to bypass his shield.”
richardlized says “Try to poke with qs from far and space his w range. When u are 6 poke him to 70%hp then walk up to his w range and bait it. While walking, spam ult in front of your character. Pantheon will w and u dodge it by ult then he will e so u can w w behind his e hit 3qs e ignite and he is dead. Panth wins against you early, so you should try to freeze the wave. Don’t get hit by empowered W and you win. ”
xMetix says “He blocks your damage, out damages you and controls the wave. Try to use grass as much as possible and abuse E cooldown. Very hard to win.”
Nanelol says “Tough Matchup if he gets ahead. Don't get into his W range especially when they have a jungler like Reksai. Play it slow and farm up you easily outscale him.”
nZk01 says “(Top) Very easy to deal with as you can just E his W and deny him pretty much everything while just running him down with your W, just play around his CD's, would recommend Barrier/Ignite.
(MId) harder than in top because you have to walk up more so you have to play more around your E CD and his insta F W stun for ganks, would recommend Cleanse/Barrier.”
DabiDabi says “He trades too well early-game. His W+E+Q combo will burst you down. Play safe till 6 so you have enough dashes to get behind him when he uses his shield and burst him. ”
3Riptide3 says “Take bone plating secondary. Rush Seeker's. He can completely pressure you off the wave if he chooses to so ask for gank and let your jungler take his combo. When he gets his first item your only hope is to shove and roam. Rfc rush can also be good bc it forces him to use E so he won't be able to deny your team's burst a second time or when he dives. ”
TheDuskWalker says “MID
Flash Ignite or Ghost Ignite. Phase Rush or Electrocute. Conqueror is a possible choice.
Pool his w and just respect his early damage potential. Otherwise just outsustain him and outscale him. He can roam really well so punish him by freezing or by getting turret plates.”
seemes says “make sure you can predict his W stun when walking up for cs and put your q ontop of yourself. if he gets in 2-3 good trades you will die so be careful.”
