The fact that Pantheon's W will still hit them after flash if he queued it up? cmon man.

What are you talking about? I never said he was a bruiser and he is NOT supposed to get Zerkers at all.
They will still get hit by W, that's what stops them. Wasted flash.
If you play Panth and the enemy top laner reaches late game anywhere nearly as useful as you, you did something wrong.

You said my opinions can't be valid because I see Panths get zerkers... Therefore saying that I'm wrong about him not being a bruiser?

We are saying you are basing your opinions on bad Pantheons.

I'm really confused right now. Where did I ever say he was a bruiser?

I don't get what the big deal about Pantheon is.
He has a ridiculous early game, but he is such garbage once mid game arrives. Also, I don't really like him taking up the top lane spot. Udyr Trundle Irelia and Renekton are all champions that I would rather have top over him. Sustain and amazing mobility, which should be used to jump on enemy carries. Pantheon's kit is just... Meh really. His ult hurts, but if you aren't being CC'd to hell, you can make it out of there easily. If he can land a W on a carry, then yeah, I think its over for that champ, but he has no means of getting close to people.
Thinking Udyr would just shit on this guy, along with Irelia when she gets later into the game. AS>Pantheon. 1) you underestimate burst 2) because you can't ward ult ganks. 3) jungle him sometime also, you really just said panth has no means of getting close? really? compared to like... udyr? really? 1 Given 2. His ult is shit and doesn't reach past mid from top. Like I said, his ult is just shit. Takes far too long for him to land. If anyone being ganked by it stays close enough for him to W right when he lands, then they're doing it wrong. 3. Have yet to see jungle Panth. Heard its good, but I was talking bout top Pantheon. I guess you have never heard of bear stance from Udyr... Really?
imagine if TFs ult did dmg, didnt have to wait to lock in gold card and point blank card throw hit for like twice as much
youve just made pantheon... :D

Poor Saint. I'm impressed he kept his cool with such a terrible team, carrying them kicking and screaming only to have them throw the game.

We're saying your opinion is uninformed because you're comparing a Mercs Udyr to a Zerker Pantheon. First of all when making item comparions you should make sure they cost about the same amount. Second of all, good pantheons buy mercs. If your sole reason for thinking Udyr's Bear > Pantheon W is that one has mercs and one doesn't then what if they both have mercs like any decent player would do?

Panth gapcloser is by far stronger than any of the ones u mentioned except maybe renek and irelia. If it's not an instant gapcloser you can get kited super easily. and honestly, if you're basing your observations on pantheons who get zerkers i highly doubt you've seen good pantheons. zerkers are sometimes good on panth for splitpushing, but merc treads are much much better 99% of the time. Panth isn't worthless mid or even late game. His ability to blow squishies up last throughout the whole game. As panth, you want to be splitpushing and ulting into a teamfight, not acting as a tank or bruiser for your team. Anyone that watches Loci's stream can tell you that Panth is really strong late game and if built correctly can continue to do well lategame by hopping onto the enemy carry and split pushing
Even Loci's panth struggled to stay useful when the game got late enough and he'd usually be super fed.

I'm really not sure how to convince you that an instant flash-like gapcloser with a stun is better than a simple movespeed boost...one can be kited and one can't? If you honestly believe Trundle and Udyr's gapclosing capabilities is stronger than Pantheon's then I suspect we have completely different views on what is "good."
You should watch smash or loci play some pantheon. Panth is definitely still really strong mid/late game. Like, there's no denying that champs like Udyr/Irelia definitely scale much much harder than Pantheon lategame, but Panth is still good at those stages of the game. At those stages of the game he's basically a splitpusher who can also assassinate squishies quite well. Ofc, if you think assassins are worthless in general then w/e.

Smash playing Panth right now. Watch and learn.

What exactly do you open with as jungle panth? I play jungle mostly and opening cloth with him seems very weak compared to other junglers. I tried opening boots too but if you fail to gank u just fall behind compared to their jungler.
I still haven't adapted to the new health pendant opening on junglers so that might be another possible opinion, although that seems like a bad idea on panth.
