I would just ban this person out of how stupid the comment is. "I watched a game that I never played before and honestly, shit looked easy." As someone who played and loved BW so much I just feel so irritated by that comment. Read quite a bit of the thread though and it doesn't seem that bad tbh. Only that comment seems to strike me as extremely ignorant. | ||

Only that comment seems to strike me as extremely ignorant. I stopped taking it seriously at "harder then" LoL related: I have barely been playing over the past month but from my few games invades galore are back. Not sure if this has been discussed but: What are the thoughts of the community on starting with machete/ward/2 health pots vs machete/5 pots or even cloth/5 if you really want to fight the other jungler and you're getting madreds anyway? I saw a guy running lifesteal quints on nocturne (courtesy of lolnexus) and starting with a ward at his red. Does this make sense in solo queue? I tried doing the same thing on lee with 2 lifesteal quints and I barely missed 2 ganks with 2 hp so I really missed the extra 4 AD... | ||

Do you have any vids on someone playing new karma? Whenever I try her I feel like I could've picked so many other mids and done better, but that's just because I understand what to do with other champs, and I don't know what to do with karma. | ||

Trickier to play vs high burst with gap closer though (xin etc), especially since you want athenes so bad but need armor. | ||

I just walked up to him and pressed e and hit him. e is 3 seconds immunity to autos everywhere. If you hit 6 first then try to fight him with it. If he does back off. Basic top lane stuff. As a general rule, he seems very vulnerable to crowd control since he is melee and has no gap closers. A slow would keep him away from your carries for a long time in teamfights. | ||

Short stuff: - Don't forget your passive, that shit is omgwtfop at low level, especially on auto reliant champions (your W refreshes it, so you can bait stuff like Nasus' Q, etc. and W right before to refresh your passive). - Expect to be camped. You have no escape, you're going to be aggressive, it's a jungler's wet dream if you don't have wards and the opposing top is smart. - Don't neglect autos if you get an opportunity to sneak one. Q is great, but you're gated by mana, not cooldown nor damage at early levels, so any auto that can lower the number of Qs needed to put your target in kill range is worth it. - Against big sustain openings (cloth+5 yo) you only lose if they can heal up. If you play aggro enough early on you can put them low enough that they can't just stay near you while potting up, even if you fail to kill. Being super aggro level 1 and all-ining level 2-3 before their sustain can kick in is often worth it, esp. if you can shove the lane to make them miss exp after it. - Pantheon doesn't scale too well (more like people's tankiness hurts him as it improves) so the more gold people get, the weaker he is. Unless you can deny a bunch of exp/gold avoid trading kills, zoning tends to be stronger for Panth because you'd rather have less gold to make the game a 4.5v4 than have both of you rich. - Towerdiving? Let the first tower shot be absorbed by your passive, then W the opponent to recharge it, and on your way out don't hesitate to cast E at empty air or stop to hit/Q a minion if that puts the Aegis back up. Blocking that incoming tower shot is well worth the little micro effort. - Brutaliser isn't bad, but you're thinking mid-term, so BT should be your standard first non-dblade item. It can often be worth it to come back to lane just to shove a wave or two, back immediatly and buy your BFS. Only buy bruta when you really can't afford to sit on that gold (or you get fed early but not enough to buy BFS straight-up, you still need to leverage that gold advantage asap to snowball it). - BC is goddamn fucken shit on champs like Pantheon. For the cost, it gives you worse burst than bruta, BT, LW (it was already the case before the last nerf, it's even truer now). Don't listen to people saying "you need to buy it to help the AD carry", your first item is there at the midgame timing where you hit your power peak, able to 100-0 people who aren't tank enough yet, and thus able to dive in fights and still win, to 1v1, etc. It's your time to shine, build selfishly. You'll get that BC once your AD carry has enough items that he actually passes you as the team's biggest physical threat, which isn't gonna happen during your levels 9-13. - Of course, adapt the above stuff to the situation. If you got demolished in lane while your AD carry (or AD caster mid) is pretty fed, he's going to be the star of the show and you're pretty behind so you missed your chance, now you do your best to support him and that involves getting BC (or at least LW) and peeling. - Don't dive once you can't anymore. You're not trololo Kha'Zix, and when people complain that he can't EW in four tenth of a second anymore remember that Pantheon was never able to do such a thing. your burst actually takes some time, is interruptible, and leaves you vulnerable as you have no escape. Learn to position well to stay alive and abuse HSS' short cd. (I use ArPen/armour/MR/AD runes and 21-9-0 masteries, I tend to start flask+ward+pot for the ward and mana sustain to combat multiple pots opening but I'm a bit weird with my openings top.) | ||
