The only lane Pantheon has trouble with aka non-neutral lane is Yorick and he outscales Yorick hard so he can just go mass armor and sustain On July 03 2013 07:22 Scip wrote: I swear to god Banner of Command is a legit item on Elise if you have more champs with minions. I was trying to figure out a good hybrid armor pen build that tries to maximize your apen and AP, for her spider W burst but didnt come up with anything good oh and how this is relevant is that banner of command felt like an option | ||

and slightly more q stacks on big minions this changes how he fits into team comps how? | ||

I was just musing because for some reason I thought it was a weird Scarra quote from long ago, but he was being jolly and seemed to put lots of thought into it. | ||

to be honest I think I missed the point somewhere in here I went back a page and I'm still not sure whats going on, I just dropped in to find out if OGN is tomorrow >.> I also agree with people saying Panth is underrated, his lategame woes are greatly exaggerated and his lane is really strong vs. the majority of the cast. | ||

nasus never went from "unviable" to "viable" he went from "never played" to "played a lot" to "nerfed" now the buffs were the reason to start playing him since they buffed him from "fine" to "op".

I was just musing because for some reason I thought it was a weird Scarra quote from long ago, but he was being jolly and seemed to put lots of thought into it. olaf relied on lot of old shurelyas, warmogs, and randuins, and even ninja tabi all being brokenly cost effective and when they nerfed olaf slightly while nerfing all the op items it looks like he's bad because of the small nerfs when its actually the items. same with mundo mundo with warmogs randunis tabi used to be unkillable | ||

Panth ult is also a wide AoE slow :p Damage and slow get cancelled if you cancel the landing into an ability though (which you kinda often do, unless you can land right on top of or behind them and they can't flash/dash to just ignore you), and there's a significant wind-down upon landing, like more than a full second, so when you gank or flank with it you generally prefer to avoid that, especially later in the game when you're kinda squishy.

On July 03 2013 07:37 wussleeQ wrote: i'm pretty sure panth is trouble vs a lot of people. especially tanky ones like malph or shen It's not about the tankiness, it's about the sustainability. You don't even need to win trades against Panth, sometimes you don't even need to do more than survive a possible all-in. Run him oom and Panth is a sitting duck with a kinda nice passive if you trade autos and some kind of execution move if your HP drop below 50%, and you quote Shen who's an energy champion with sustain and a shield, and malph who's passive is a rechargeable sizable shield who's content not to build damage at all in lane (thus making full tank possible). So, yeah, he's not gonna like that.  But Lee's a bitch too for example, and a good Riven is hell with that AD scaling shield and huge-ass mobility to dodge HSS. | ||

There were Jax, Irelia, Olaf, etc nerfs to laning. There were the S3 Jungle changes that killed off guys like Maokai, and more. Its not like you can just say "People were dumb and missed it" because there were a lot of fundamental changes. | ||
